General information about WLAN and Bluetooth

The device supports Bluetooth to standard 5.3.
The device is built-in a Wireless LAN (WLAN), i.e. you are not assigned to a cable network.
Depending on the infrastructure and the access rights set by the network administrator, you
have exactly the same access to files, the printer and to the Internet with WLAN as with cable
network.
Support is provided for the WLAN frequency ranges 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, you can create connections through walls or at
distances in the open air of up to 100 m. But it depends on the environment you are in, If you
are in a room with walls and floors, the range or distance of Wi-Fi connection will be
decreased.
The on-board network adapter operates based on the following standards:
• IEEE 802.11 a
• IEEE 802.11 b
• IEEE 802.11 g
• IEEE 802.11 n
• IEEE 802.11 ac
• IEEE 802.11 ax
The IEEE standard offers two modes of operation, the ad hoc mode (Peer to Peer) and the
infrastructure mode.
