Requirements
A so-called LAN access point can be used as a remote station. An access point is a
radio-transmitting device that communicates with your PC and controls access to the
connected network. LAN access points are frequently found in large offi ces, airports,
train stations, universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services
and networks or to the Internet. Access permissions are generally necessary and
often result in usage charges. Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These
so-called routers establish the connection to the existing DSL Internet connection and
the wireless LAN. A connection can also be established to another end device using
wireless LAN functionality without an access point. Without a router, however, the
network is restricted to those devices directly connected to it.
The wireless network connection works in accordance with the IEEE 802.11ac*
standard and is compatible with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices.
Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users
accessing the remote station.
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices
transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice
and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless
technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:
• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.
• Transferring
fi les between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.
• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).
The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending on the device
or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls, jacket pockets and
briefcases using a Bluetooth device. The transfer between Bluetooth devices occurs at the
high frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz).
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are sure it
will cause no interference.

To make use of the full performance, a WLAN router compatible with the 802.11ac standard is required.
