Operating Basics

Wireless communications

The computer’s wireless communication function supports both Wireless

LAN and Bluetooth devices.
All models are provided with 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 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).

Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps (IEEE802.11a, 802.11g)

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

Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A: 5 GHz, Revision B/G:

2.4 GHz)

Roaming over multiple channels

Card Power Management

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

encryption algorithm.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption.

Security

TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable WEP (encryption)

functionality, otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by

an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider may

illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or

destruction of stored data.

TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or

illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

The values shown above 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 the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding

electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and

configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations.

The transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as

specified under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission

speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
