Glossary
Wireless LAN A LAN (Î page 166) that conducts wireless communications using radio waves. Data is sent
and received using common wireless frequencies. Because a LAN cable is not required, the
computer can be located some distance from the Access Point (Î page 158). ESS-ID
(Î page 162) or WEP (Î page 173) can be used to protect security during information
transmissions.
This computer supports 802.11b+g Wireless LAN with Intel
®
Centrino Technology. Settings
can be changed with the Intel
®
PROSet.
WPA
– Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA compensates for the weaknesses of WEP (Î page 173), to further increase security.
The network key (Î page 167), including the IEEE802.1X user authentication standard, is
automatically updated at fixed intervals.
