P O I N T S
■
Wireless channels 1 to 11 are used for the
IEEE802.11b-compliant wireless LAN adopted by this
personal computer. If you are to use infrastructure
connection (network connection via a access point), a
channel number greater than 11 may have been pre-
assigned or automatically assigned to the wireless
channel to be used for the access point.
In such a case, set the channel of the access point to
either from 1 to 11. For further details of the setting
method, refer to the manual of the access point you
are using.
■
To use infrastructure connection, refer to the manual
of the access point for the access point-setting proce-
dure.
■
In the case of infrastructure connection, to use ADSL
(PPPoE) for accessing the Internet, the MTU size of
this personal computer needs to be changed. For fur-
ther details, refer to the manual of the access point.
