Network Privacy

The PMP supports both WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA
PSK (Wireless Protected Access Pre Shared Key) network privacy
methods.

• WEP: 64-bit and 128-bit keys are supported.

• WPA: A password comprised of from 8 to 63 characters may

be used.

Confi guring Wireless Access

To confi gure wireless access on the PMP, simply try to connect to
a wireless network. If the PMP detects it does not have the proper
confi guration it will prompt you to enter an appropriate network key
as required by the network. For example, if you try to connect to a
network enabled for WPA, the player will prompt you to enter a WPA
network key (i.e., password). The network confi guration information
will be saved on the PMP for future use.

Advanced Wireless Confi guration

You will need to manually confi gure a wireless network if any of the
following applies:

• Your WAP is confi gured with broadcast SSID disabled. In this

case, you need to manually enter the SSID and indicate that it
is non-broadcast.

• Your wireless network is confi gured to use static IP

addressing. In this case you need to manually enter an IP
address and mask for your PMP.

Use the ‘Confi gure Networks’ option in the Wireless application to
access the advanced wireless confi guration. From this menu, you are
able to add a new network and edit existing networks.
