to is selected, and select [Connect].
When the connection is complete, the SSID
for the current connection appears under
[Current connection]. If nothing is
continuously displayed in [Current
connection], the settings may not be
configured correctly. Select [Configure] and
verify the settings.
Notes
•
A plus (+) symbol appears on an access point
under [Avail.] once it has been set.
You can only connect to access points with a
plus (+) symbol under [Avail.].
If you select from this list and still cannot
connect, repeat steps 5 through 7.

There are public wireless access you can
connect to with “No Encryption”, but the data
you send and receive is unencrypted and may
be intercepted. Be sure to take note of this
when using the web and e-mail.
Since communication via the wireless LAN
function is established by radio waves, the
wireless signal may be susceptible to
interception. To decrease this danger, the
LocationFreeTV supports various security
functions. Be sure to correctly configure the
security settings in accordance with your
intended purpose and network environment.

No encryption
Because raw data is transmitted, there is a
danger of interception.
This setting is not available for wireless LAN
communication between the base station and
the monitor.
• WEP
WEP is the wireless LAN security technology
specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption
to communications. There are two types of
encryption key length; 64-bit key and 128-bit
key. The 128-bit encryption key assures a

exists, however, so using the same encryption
key for an extended period of time is not

•
WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption
WPA is a security technology developed to
correct for the deficiencies of WEP. The
LocationFreeTV utilizes WPA together with
TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK with TKIP
encryption assures the highest security level
among the technologies supported by the
LocationFreeTV.
Security settings of the LocationFreeTV
•
The security for wireless LAN communication
between the base station and the monitor is set
to WEP as the factory default. To increase the
security level, switch to WPA-PSK. Note,
however, that the communication stability may
differ depending on which technology you use,
WEP or WPA-PSK.
