Connecting to a Wireless LAN
Your computer may come with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) PC Card
*
that allows for wireless connections. With Sony’s Wireless LAN functionality, all
compatible digital devices can communicate freely without cable connections. A
Wireless LAN is a network in which a mobile user can connect to a LAN through
a wireless (radio) connection. You can opt to purchase a Wireless LAN Access
Point to set up a LAN.
The Wireless LAN Access Point
The Wireless LAN Access Point, which is also called the access point, is
designed for building a Wireless LAN environment. If you purchase an access
point, you can easily build a wireless LAN environment by plugging the Access
point into an AC power outlet and using the provided software with compatible
devices. Because a wireless LAN configuration requires no wiring, you can
operate multiple computers more freely than ever before.
* Supplied with selected models.
