3. When WLAN Security None appears on the display, press OK to
save your selection. go to step 6.
If you see another messages, go to the next step.
4. According to the network you select, WLAN security encryption type
will be WEP or WPA.
• In case of WEP, Press the left/right arrow to selcet Open System or
SharedKey.
- Open System: Authentication is not used, and Encryption may or
may not be used, depending on the need for data security. Enter
the WEP Key using number keypad after selecting Open System.
- SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper
WEP Key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using
number keypad after selecting SharedKey.
• In case of WPA, Enter the WPA Key using number keypad. The Key
length should be between 8 to 63 characters long.
5. Press OK.
6. Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.
Custom mode
1. Enter the SSID, the name that identifies a wireless network, when

and data encryption are not required for your network. Open system
is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
• Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) algorithm
suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static WEP security
mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption, decryption,
and IEEE 802.11 authentication. Press the left/right arrow to select
the setup method you want in Authentication and press OK.
- Open System: Authentication is not used, and encryption may or
may not be used, depending on the need for data security. Enter the
WEP Key using number keypad after selecting Open System and
then press OK.
- SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper
WEP key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using number
keypad after selecting SharedKey and then press OK.
• SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a
wireless network. Access points and wireless devices
attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use
the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.
• WEP : WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol
preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on a
wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.
• WPA : WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA also
uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption.
