Operating Basics
Wireless communications
The computer’s wireless communication function supports both Wireless
LAN and Bluetooth devices.
All models are provided with a Wireless Communication switch. Some
models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions.
Wireless LAN
The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems that comply with
the 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN standard.
It supports the following:
■
Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54,
11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s.
■
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 128bit
encryption algorithm.
■
Frequency Channel Selection (5GHz and 2.4 GHz)
■
Roaming over multiple channels
■
Card Power Management
■
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption.
Wireless LAN Disclaimer:
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which
wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The
actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum
speed.
To use the Atheros SuperAG™ or SuperG™ function, your client and
access point must support the corresponding feature. Performance of
these functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.
Security
1. Be sure to enable WEP(encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
could be left wide open to illicit access via the Wireless LAN and may
result in an intrusion leading to the theft or even loss of stored data,
among other things. Moreover, the owner of an Internet connection is
responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading activities on
said connection; an unsecure Wireless network connected directly to
the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP
account privileges. Therefore, TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you
enable the WEP function.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for data packet theft due to the use of the
Wireless LAN, and any damage thereof.
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
