Wireless LAN

Only for models with wireless LAN
If you use a wireless LAN, you can use a network without cable connections.

Wireless LAN communication methods
• Infrastructure mode

For data transactions between two or more computers with wireless LAN functions,
using an access point

• Ad hoc mode

For direct data transactions between two computers with wireless LAN functions,
without using an access point

This computer supports two standards: IEEE802.11b (802.11b) and IEEE802.11g
(802.11g).

CAUTION

Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna (A). Do not block the
antenna area with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio
signals.
Do not use the Fast User Switching function. The wireless LAN cannot be used.

NOTE

The communication speeds and distances differ depending on the devices that
support the wireless LAN, the installation environment and other ambient conditions.
One characteristic of radio waves is that their transmission rate tends to drop as the
communication distance increases. It is recommended that the devices supporting
the wireless LAN be used in close vicinity to each other.
The rate may drop while a microwave oven is being used.
When using a wireless LAN in an environment that combines both 802.11g and
802.11b, communication speed when using 802.11g may decrease.
