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.

Option 2: WPS push button  
configuration method  
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.  
1 Check whether the network  
(LAN) cable is disconnected.  
Disconnect the network (LAN) cable  
after setting the OPERATE ON/OFF to  
OFF if the network (LAN) cable is  
connected.  
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.  
2 Turn the unit on.  
You can operate this unit when the ?/1  
(on/standby) indicator lights up in green

TKIP is a security technology developed to  
correct for the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP  
assures a higher security level than WEP.  
3 Press the WPS button on the  
access point.  
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)

x Network key (security key)  
An encryption key used to limit the devices  
with which communication can occur. It is  
used to provide higher security for devices  
communicating via a wireless LAN router/  
access point.  
Glossary  
x Access Point (AP)  
A specially configured network device on a  
wireless local area network (WLAN). Access  
points act as a central transmitter and receiver  
of WLAN signals.  
x Proxy  
A program or a server that provides Internet  
access to computers within a firewall or  
quicker downloading of web pages.  
x DHCP  
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration  
Protocol. A system for automatically  
allocating configuration data required for an  
Internet connection.  
x Router  
A device that bridges networks, converting the  
protocols and addresses of each network.  
When connecting multiple network devices to  
the Internet, a router is necessary. The term  
“router” by itself may refer to any of these  
devices.  
x DLNA  
Abbreviation for Digital Living Network  
Alliance. The DLNA is a nonprofit  
organization that establishes design guidelines  
for digital content shared over networks.  
x SSID  
Abbreviation for Service Set IDentifier. It is a  
name that identifies a particular access point  
within an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. To  
connect with an access point, a client device  
must be set with the same SSID. SSIDs can be  
up to 32 characters long. For higher security, a  
network key is normally also used. In this case,  
connection cannot occur unless the SSID  
matches the network key.  
x DNS  
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A  
server that translates domain names to IP  
addresses, or IP addresses to domain names. A  
DNS is identified by an IP address. Also called  
a “DNS server.”  
x IP address  
IP addresses usually consist of four groups of  
up to three digits each, separated by a period  
(such as 192.168.239.1). All devices on a  
network must have an IP address.  
x WEP  
Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy.  
An encryption key used in wireless LAN  
networks. As an IEEE standard based on RC4  
algorithm cryptography, WEP is used to  
secure IEEE 802.11b wireless networks.  
During the transmission of a message between  
a wireless LAN access point and a client  
device, the sending side encrypts the data and  
the receiving side decrypts it. For  
x LAN  
Abbreviation for Local Area Network.  
LAN is a general name for networks set up for  
communication among devices including  
computers, printers, and fax machines in  
relatively small areas such as offices or  
buildings.  
communication to occur, both devices must  
use a common code key, which is called the  
“WEP key.” The encryption level is indicated  
by the bit count of the key; e.g., 64 bits or 128  
bits. The higher the bit count, the higher the  
security level.

x WPA  
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access. An  
encryption standard for wireless LAN  
networks created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to  
remedy a number of serious security problems  
in the WEP system. In addition to the network  
name (SSID) and encryption key (WEP), this  
protocol uses a user authentication framework  
called “EAP” (Extensible Authentication  
Protocol) and a protocol called “TKIP”  
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) which  
automatically updates the encryption code at  
regular intervals for higher security.  
x WPA2  
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2.  
An encryption standard for wireless LAN  
networks. As an upgraded version of WPA  
created by the Wi-Fi Alliance, this standard  
uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)  
cryptography to provide stronger security than  
WPA.  
x WPS  
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. A  
wireless network standard created by the Wi-  
Fi Alliance to allow you to set up a wireless  
network easily. A push button configuration  
method and a PIN code method are available.
