Network. The first is "Disable" which disables the WEP security ser-
vice; the second is "64bit" which supports 5 bytes Hexadecimal value
WEP security service; the third is "128bit" which supports 13 bytes
Hexadecimal value WEP security service.

F. Performance
F1: Will IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter work in the environment where
Bluetooth network is employed?
Yes, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter can coexist with Bluetooth envi-
ronment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter?
Working range depends on the data transmission rate and environ-
mental conditions. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it
can cover. At 11 Mbps, the adapter can cover up to 300 meter in an
outdoor environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only
cover up to 100 meter. Due to ceiling, higher RF, interior wall, and
reflected signal interference, indoor range is usually shorter than out-
door range.
F3: How does the data transmission rate work?
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter allows you to choose one of the six
data rate options: Fixed 1Mbps, Fixed 2Mbps, Fixed 5.5Mbps, Fixed
11 Mbps, Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, and Fully Auto.
The farther the distance between two communicating devices, the
slower the data rate should be used. Basically a slower data rate
ensures reliable data delivery. If you do not know which data rate
should be used, select "Fully Auto", and the data rate automatically
steps down from either 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps as
you move your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 further away from the
Access Point or other connected mobile device.
