Important
Your machine’s network radio
adaptor transmits data using the
radio protocol IEEE 802.11g; it can
also be incorporated into an existing
IEEE 802.11b network.
When connecting to your machine,
only use the approved adaptor.
Other transmitting or receiving
adaptors may damage your device.
Irrespective of whether you use your
machine in an infrastructure or ad-
hoc network, you must set up certain
network and security parameters
(for example, the Service-Set-ID
(SSID) and the encryption key).
These must match the network’s
specifications.
Note
We recommend that the settings of
your WLAN network should only be
changed by a person with a good
knowledge of the configuration of your
computer.
Note
If you choose an existing network,
steps 5 and 6 (and possibly 7) are
carried out automatically.
Important
Please note that in ad-hoc mode,
the WPA/WPA2 encryption method
