Operating Basics

Wireless communications

The computer’s wireless communication function supports both Wireless

LAN and Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth provided with some models.

Wireless LAN

The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct

Sequence Spread Spectrum /Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

radio technology that complies with IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN standard

(Revision A, B or G) and Turbo Mode.

Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps (IEEE802.11g)

Theoretical maximum speed: 11Mbps (IEEE802.11b)

Theoretical maximum speed: 108Mbps (Turbo Mode)

Frequency Channel Selection (Revision B/G: 2.4 GHz)

Roaming over multiple channels

Card Power Management

Atheros Super G™ technology.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 152 bit

encryption algorithm.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256 bit

encryption algorithm.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

Security

Be sure to enable WEP/WPA (encryption) function. Otherwise your

computer will allow the illegal access by outsider through Wireless LAN

to cause illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of

stored data. TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the

WEP/WPA function.

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

Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

The numerical values for display are the theoretical maximums for

Wireless LAN standards. The actual values may differ.

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 Transmit Rate (at X Mbit/s) is the theoretical maximum speed

under the IEEE802.11 (a/b/g) standard. The actual transmission speed

will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
To use the Atheros Super G
function, your client and access point

must support the corresponding feature. Performance of these

functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.
