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-A320 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.
If your notebook supports Bluetooth, the Switch wireless devices dialog box appears. Select Wireless
LAN and click OK.
The Wireless Switcher button changes into Wireless LAN.
2 Right-click the network icon in the taskbar displaying the Wireless Network Connection message.
3 Click View Available Wireless Networks.
The Wireless Network Connection dialog box appears.
4 Select the network you want to use.
