User’s Manual

L300/L300D series

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit

encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).

11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,

802.11g and 802.11n respectively. The IEEE 802.11n specification has

not been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA 11a/b/

g/n Wireless LAN Adaptors are based on the draft release, version 2.0,

of the IEEE 802.11n specification. An adaptor with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or

11a/b/g/n can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual

connection will be based on the access point to which it connects.

Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in draft 11n mode

is not guaranteed.

The draft 11n function cannot be used with WEP/TKIP. draft 11n mode

can be used only with WPA-PSK(AES) mode or no security mode.

Security

Be sure to enable encryption function. Otherwise your computer will

allow the illegal access by an outsider through wireless LAN to cause

illegal instruction, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.

TOSHIBA strongly recommends the customer to enable the encryption

function.

TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of

Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
