Getting Started
Introduction
The Compaq Wireless LAN MultiPort W200 allows you to
access wireless Local Area Networks, share a local printer and
files with others in your network, access the Internet, and roam
about the office—wire-free.
This wireless Local Area Network solution is designed for both
large and small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can add
users and new network features as your networking needs grow.
Using a Wireless Local Area Network
This product is a Local Area Network (LAN) device. A LAN is
two or more computers that are connected to each other in order
to share files or common equipment such as a printer or a modem.
A wireless LAN provides the same functionality of a wired
network, but it eliminates the need to install networking cables
and other networking equipment. Not only is a wireless LAN
easier to deploy, but it also allows for “roaming.”
For example, when using a notebook computer with a Wireless
LAN MultiPort W200, you can roam from a conference room to
an office without being disconnected from the network.
