Operating Basics
■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit
encryption algorithm (Intel module type).
■ Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
Security
■ Be sure to enable WEP (encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
will allow the illegal access by outsider through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the WEP
function.
■ TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
Wireless communication switch
You can enable or disable Wireless LAN function, with the on/off switch.
No transmissions are sent or received when the switch is off. Slide the
switch to the right to turn it on and to the left to turn it off.
■ The numerical values for display are the theoretical maximums for
Wireless LAN standards. The actual values may differ.
■ The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over
which wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations.
The Transmit Rate (at X Mbit/s) is the theoretical maximum speed
under the IEEE802.11 (a/b/g) standard. The actual transmission speed
will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
■ Set the switch to off in airplanes and hospitals. Check the indicator.
It will stop glowing when the wireless communication function is off.
■ Turn the computer off when you enter an airplane and check the
carrier's regulations before you use a computer on board.
