Basic Operations
Disconnecting the LAN cable
To disconnect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Pinch the lever on the connector in the computer’s LAN jack and pull
out the connector.
2. Disconnect the cable from the LAN hub in the same manner. Check with
your LAN administrator before disconnecting from the hub.
Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems that comply with
the IEEE 802.11 b/g / 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN standards.
It supports the following:
■ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54,
11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s.
■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256bit
encryption algorithm.
■ Roaming over multiple channels
■ Card Power Management
■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption
Network
It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network
name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network will
have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in
order to re-enable network connections.
Security
1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the encryption function
otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via the
wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can lead
to theft or loss of stored data. In addition, the owner of an Internet
connection is responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading
activities on that connection. Therefore, an unsecured wireless network
connected directly to the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to
abuse your ISP account and privileges.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the
use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur
thereof.
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
Make sure that you use a new network name.
