2-22 Operating Your Computer
Using the Wireless LAN (option)
Depending on your model, an internal Mini PCI wireless LAN (WLAN)
card may have been pre-installed by your computer manufacturer at the
factory. This card allows you to access corporate networks or the Internet
in a wireless environment.
The WLAN features include:
 2.4 GHz DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology
 Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) and Access Point (Infrastructure) modes
support
 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64/128-bit data encryption
 Transmission rate at 9 / 18 / 36 / 54 Mbps (802.11g mode), with
automatic data rating at 1 / 2 / 11 Mbps (802.11b mode)
It takes approximately 30 seconds for your computer to make a successful
WLAN connection and approximately 10 seconds to disconnect.
NOTE: The FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) has deemed it unsafe to operate wireless
devices in aircraft as this may interfere with flight safety. Remember to select turn off
wireless LAN when using your computer in the airplane.
