Using the Notebook PC
Infrastructure mode
The Infrastructure mode allows the Notebook PC and
other wireless devices to join a wireless network cre-
ated by an Access Point (AP) (sold separately) that
provides a central link for wireless clients to commu-
nicate with each other or with a wired network.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wireless LAN adapters.)
Ad-hoc mode
The Ad-hoc mode allows the Notebook PC to connect
to another wireless device. No access point (AP) is
required in this wireless environment.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wireless LAN adapters.)
These are examples of the Notebook PC
connected to a Wireless Network.

Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models)
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implementing
the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless LAN is capable of
fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz frequencies. The optional built-in wire-
less LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802.11 standards allowing seamless interfacing
of wireless LAN standards.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes
giving you flexibility on your existing or future wireless network configurations for distances up to 40
meters between the client and the access point.
To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN comes
with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
features.
