This allows users to transfer information and data with one another and to share their resources (printers and drives). Here are a few concrete examples: • In an office, messages are exchanged by e-mail and appointments are managed centrally. • Users share one printer on the network and back up their data to a central computer (server).
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices. Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access. The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users accessing the remote station. 12.3. Bluetooth Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances.

21. European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard For active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, each of which consist of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue), there are a total of approx. 6.2 million control transistors in use. Due to this very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become incorrectly controlled.
Pixel defect types: • Type 1: permanently illuminated pixel (bright, white dot) even when not activated. A white pixel occurs due to the illumination of all three sub-pixels. • Type 2: non-illuminated pixel (dark, black dot) even when activated. • Type 3: abnormal or faulty red, green or blue sub-pixel (e.g.
