Security
Be sure to enable WEP (encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
will allow the illegal access by outsider through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the WEP function.
Bluetooth wireless technology
BluetoothTM wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between
electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile
phones.
You cannot use the builtin Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth
PC card simultaneously.
Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
Worldwide operation
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operates in the 2.45 GHz
band, which is licensefree and compatible with radio systems in most
countries in the world.
Radio links
You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is
maintained even if the devices are not within line of sight.
Security
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
■ Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it
impossible to falsify the origin of a message.
■ Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
Wireless communication switch
You can enable or disable Wireless LAN and Bluetooth function, with the
on/off switch. No transmissions are sent or received when the switch is
off. Slide the switch toward the back of the computer to turn it on and
toward the front of the computer to turn it off.
Set the switch to off in airplanes and hospitals. Check the Wireless
communication indicator. It will stop glowing when the wireless
communication function is off.
