Outline
This section explains features of the wireless LAN function and what you can do using this LAN
function.
Features of the wireless LAN function
Some of major features are listed below.
•
The Wireless LAN function uses a 2.4-GHz low-power communications system.
• The Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DD-SS) scheme is employed that is highly resistant to
noise.
• This LAN function complies with “Wi-Fi” and allows wireless communications at a maximum
communications speed of 11 Mbps.
• The use of the required network name (SSID) and network key allows accessing by unauthor-
ized persons to be prevented.
Network configuration of the wireless LAN
The use of the wireless LAN function allows connection to any of the following two types of net-
works:
❑
Ad hoc connection
The network constructed by the personal computers containing the wireless LAN function is re-
ferred to as the “ad hoc wireless LAN”, and the connection method used in this case is referred as
“ad hoc connection.”
The use of this function allows you to exchange files and share a printer, by selecting the functions,
such as “Network Connection”, that the Microsoft network supports.
To use ad hoc connection, it is necessary to enter the same network name (SSID) and the same
network key for all the personal computers that are to be connected. If there are any channels to be
used for wireless LAN connection, it is also necessary to assign the same data to the channels.
Communication is possible, provided that the personal computers to communicate with each other
are located within the respective intercommunication service areas. Network connection can be
implemented easily and at low costs by using ad hoc connection.
