Communicating with an Access Point (infrastructure)

An infrastructure network is a network that extends an existing wired local network to wireless devices by providing an Access Point,
for example the Sony 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 (infrastructure), proceed as follows:

1

Turn on the Wireless LAN switch.

2

Right-click the network icon

on the taskbar displaying the Wireless Network Connection message.

3

Click View Available Wireless Networks.
The Wireless Network Connection dialog box appears.

4

Select the network you want to use.

5

Type the Network Key.

6

Click Connect.
After 30 seconds, the connection is established.

For more information about setting up an access point, see the documentation supplied with your Access Point.
