Getting Started
Before performing the
network settings
When your wireless LAN router (access
point) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)-
compatible, you can easily set the network
settings with the WPS button.
If not, check the following information in
advance, and record it in the space provided
below.
•
The network name (SSID*) that
identifies your network**.
•
If security is set on your wireless
network, the security key (WEP key,
WPA key)**.
*
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that
identifies a particular wireless network.
** You need to check the settings of your wireless
LAN router to get the information about SSID
and security key. For details:
– visit the following website:
– refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the wireless LAN router
– consult the manufacturer of the wireless
LAN router
About wireless LAN
security
Since communication via the wireless LAN
function is established by radio waves, the
wireless signal may be susceptible to
interception. To protect wireless
communication, this system supports
various security functions. Be sure to
correctly configure the security settings in
accordance with your network
environment.
x
No Security
Although you can easily make settings,
anyone can intercept wireless
communication or intrude into your
wireless network, even without any
sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there
is a risk of unauthorized access or
interception of data.
x
WEP
WEP applies security to communications
to prevent outsiders from intercepting
communications or intruding into your
wireless network. WEP is a legacy security
technology that enables older devices
which do not support TKIP/AES to be
connected.
x
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK
(TKIP)
TKIP is a security technology developed in
response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP
assures a higher security level than WEP.
x
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK
(AES)
AES is a security technology that uses an
advanced security method distinct from
WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher
security level than WEP or TKIP.
