Connecting to a Wireless LAN
Your computer is equipped with a built-in mini PCI card that allows for wireless
connections. With Sony’s Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) functionality, all
compatible digital devices can communicate freely without cable connections. A
Wireless LAN is a network in which a mobile user can connect to a LAN through
a wireless (radio) connection. You can opt to purchase a Wireless LAN Access
Point to set up a LAN.
Turning On Wireless LAN
To enable Wireless LAN functionality, first locate the Wireless LAN switch that
is located on the left side of the computer, above the PC Card slot. Move the
switch to the ON position. The Wireless LAN indicator on the bottom left front
portion of the computer lights up.
The Wireless LAN Access Point
The Wireless LAN Access Point, which is also called the Access Point, is
designed for building a Wireless LAN environment. If you purchase an Access
Point, you can easily build a wireless LAN environment by plugging the Access
Point into an AC power outlet, and using the provided software with compatible
devices. Because a wireless LAN configuration requires no wiring, you can
operate multiple computers more freely than ever before.
