In France and in the Netherlands, only a few channels can be used:
- France: only channels 10, 11 (indoor as well as outdoor).
- Netherlands: channels 9, 10, 11 (only outdoor). Indoor all channels can be used.
This means that you need to change channels if you are in one of these countries.
For more information on changing channels, see Selecting a channel (page 58).
Communicating with an Access Point (infrastructure)
An infrastructure network is a network that extends an existing wired local network to wireless devices by
providing an Access Point, for example the Sony PCWA-A200 Access Point. The Access Point bridges the
wireless and wired LAN and acts as a central controller for the Wireless LAN. The Access Point coordinates
transmission and reception from multiple wireless devices within a specific range.
To communicate with an Access Point (infrastructure), proceed as follows:
1 Turn on the Wireless switch on the front side of the computer.
2 Right-click the network icon in the taskbar displaying the Wireless Network Connection message.
3 Click View Available Wireless Networks.
The Connect to Wireless Network dialog box appears.
4 Select the network you want to use.
