Before Using the Optional Wireless LAN
This manual describes the procedures required to properly set up and configure the optional
integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the r est of the
manual). Before using the WLAN d evice, read this manual carefully to ensure its correct
operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document
This document is applicable to systems containing the following device:
• Intel Dual Band Wire less-AC 8260 11ac/abgn(2x2)+BT(v4.1)
• Intel Dual Band Wire less-AC 8260 11ac/abgn(2x2)+BT(v4.1)
Characteristics of the WLAN Device
• The WLAN devices a re PCI Express Mini cards attached to the ma in board of the mobile computer.
• The WLAN devices operate in license-free RF bands, eliminating the need to procure
an FCC operating license. The WLAN operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific,
and Medical (ISM) RF band and the lower, middle, and upper bands of the 5GHz
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U NII) bands.
• The WLAN devices are capable of four operating modes, IEEE802.11a,
IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
• The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates (as app licable) at the maximum data
rate of 450 Mbps in IEEE802.11n mode (300 Mbps in this configuration); 54 Mbps
in IEEE802.11g mode; and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.
• The WLAN devices support the following encryption methods - WEP,
TKIP, CKIP, and AES encryption.
• The Wireless LAN devices are compliant with the following standards: WPA,
WPA2, CCX1.0, CCX2.0, CCX3.0, and CCX4.0.
Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device
Ad Ho c Mo
de
"Ad Hoc M
ode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity
betwee
n multiple computers is established without a central wireless net work device, typically
known a
s A ccess Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer
fashi
on. That is why Ad Hoc netwo rks are also kn own as peer-to-pee r networks. Ad Hoc
netwo
rks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between
multi
ple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryp tion
key s
ettings are identically configured on all co mputers in the Ad Hoc netwo rk.
