You can also connect an Access Point to a telephone line, Integrated Services
Digital Network (ISDN) router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL)
modem to share access to the Internet among multiple computers.

Communicating with Access Point (infrastructure)

An infrastructure network is one that extends an existing wired local network to
wireless devices by providing an Access Point. The Access Point bridges the
wireless and wired LAN, and acts as a central controller for the Wireless LAN.
The Access Point coordinates transmission and reception from multiple wireless
devices within a specific range.

To communicate with an Access Point, proceed as follows:

1

Turn on the Wireless LAN switch located on the left side of the computer,
above the PC Card slot. The Wireless LAN indicator on the bottom left front
portion of the computer lights up.

2

Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon in the taskbar.
