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.
