ENGLISH Problem How to set a WEP/ WPA key Possible Cause and Measures z When using WEP The key length, key format, the key to use (out of 1 to 4), and the authentication method must match among the access point, the machine, and the computer.

If you do not know the access point WEP key, refer to documentation provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer.

How to set a WEP/
WPA key
When using WEP
The key length, key format, the key to use (out of 1 to 4), and the
authentication method must match among the access point, the
machine, and the computer.
For access points that use automatically generated WEP keys, use the
hexadecimal key format for the machine.
If you do not know the access point WEP key, refer to documentation
provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer.
Example:
Using 64 bit key length, when the string “canon” is entered, an
access point generates the following codes.
Key 1: C9 42 28 B8 AE
Key 2: 87 C0 FB 05 6B
Key 3: 9A 15 FB F6 F3
Key 4: 62 56 67 58 44
In order to communicate with such an access point, you must configure
the machine to use the key generated by the access point by entering it
in hexadecimal format.
Normally, select [Auto] for [Authentication]. Otherwise, select [Open
System] or [Shared Key] according to the setting of the access point.
When entering a [WEP key] in [Network Key] or [Network Password] on
the [Access Points] screen, the key number is set to 1 and the
[Authentication] is set to [Auto]. The key length and format are based
upon value of the entered key.
Note
When using AirPort
®
, confirm the settings in
[
Wireless Security
]
of
[
AirPort Admin Utility
]
.
Select [64 bit] if [40 bit WEP] is selected for the [Key Length] in the
AirPort Base Station.
Select [1] for [Key ID]. Otherwise the computer will not be able to
communicate with the machine via the access point.
When using WPA or WPA2
The authentication method, passphrase, and dynamic encryption type
must match on the access point, the machine, and the computer.
Enter the passphrase configured on the access point (a sequence of
between 8 and 63 alphanumeric characters, or a 64-character
hexadecimal number). If you do not know the passphrase, refer to the
manual provided with the access point, or consult its manufacturer.
Select either [TKIP (Basic Encryption)] or [AES (Secure Encryption)] for
the dynamic encryption method.
Note
This machine supports WPA-PSK (WPA-Personal) and WPA2-PSK
(WPA2-Personal). WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are not
supported.
