Before Using the Optional Wireless LAN
This manu al 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 rest o f the
manual). Before using the WLAN device, 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 conta ining the f ollowing device:
• 2x2 ABGN, WLAN/BT combo MITSUMI DWM-W095A
Characteristics of the WLAN Device
• The WLAN devices are PCI Express Mini cards a ttached to the m ain board of the mobile computer.
• The WLAN devices operate in license-free RF bands, eliminating the need to procure
an F CC 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 (UNII) ban ds.
• 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 op erates (as applicable) at a 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 m eth ods - 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 Hoc Mode
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless netw ork connectivity
between mu ltiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically
known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client device s in a peer-to-peer
fashion. Th at is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc
networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing netwo rk connectivity between
multiple comp uters. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network auth entication, and encryption
key settings are identically configured o n all computers in the Ad Hoc network.
