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 IEEE 802. 11 wireless LAN standard (Revision A, B, G or draft N). It supports the following features: Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 9 and 6 Mbit/s (Revision A and G). Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5. 5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s (Revision B). Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A/draft N: 5 GHz, Revision B/G/draft N: 2. 4GHz) Roaming over multiple channels Card Power Management Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit encryption algorithm (Atheros module type). User's Manual 4-25 Operating Basics 11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802. 11a, 802. 11b, 802. 11g and 802. 11n respectively. The IEEE 802. 11n specification has not been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Adaptors are based on the draft release, version 2. 0, of the IEEE 802. 11n specification. An adaptor with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or 11a/b/g/n can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual connection will be based on the access point to which it connects. Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in draft 11n mode is not guaranteed. draft 11n mode can be used only with WPA-PSK(AES) mode or no security mode. Security Be sure to enable encryption function. Otherwise your computer will allow the illegal access by outsider through wireless LAN to cause illegal instruction, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data. TOSHIBA strongly recommends the customer to enable the encryption function. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
