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
environment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter?
It depends on the data transmission rate and the condition of the
environments. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it could
cover. At 11 Mbps, the adapter can go up to 300 meter in an outdoor
environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only go up to
100 meter. Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior
walls and reflected signals, indoor range is usually shorter than
outdoor 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, with slower data rate,
the data delivery will be more reliable. If you don’t know which data
rate should be used, simply choose “Fully Auto”, and the data rate will
automatically step down from 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps if
you move farther your Toshiba Pocket PC e800 away from the Access
Point or other connected mobile device.
F4: The Wireless LAN uses lots of power. What should I do to save
power?
(1) Please turn off the Wireless LAN Switch if you are not using the
Wireless Network currently, or
(2) Click Turn Off on the TMU icon.
The WEP Mode, WEP KeyID and WEP Key value must be exactly the
same as your Wireless Network’s to enable the connection.
