WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) When using wireless communication, WEP is used to encrypt data to prevent it from being analyzed by another party. To enable WEP, you must configure a wireless passkey called a WEP key. The AIBO® Entertainment Robot ERS-7 supports both the WEP64 (40 bit) and the WEP128 (104 bit) encryption systems. If using WEP64, use 5 alphanumeric characters, or "0x" followed by 10 hexadecimal characters. If using WEP128, use 13 alphanumeric characters, or "0x" followed by 26 hexadecimal characters. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) Wi-Fi Alliance, the wireless LAN industry organization, prescribed this standard specification to ensure connectivity. Products that comply with this specification are allowed to use the "Wi-Fi (certified)" logo. The wireless LAN module installed in the AIBO robot ERS-7 is certified by Wi-Fi, and supports connections with other Wi-Fi certified 2.4 GHz wireless LAN products (IEEE 802.11b compliant). Appendix Wireless channel Under IEEE 802.11b, the 2.4 GHz band is divided into 14 channels. Assigning different channels to different networks in proximity to one another avoids channel interference. The AIBO robot ERS-7 can use wireless channels 1-11. To configure the wireless channel under Infrastructure mode, set the channel value on the access point. The new setting will be automatically reflected in all of the network devices. 61
