The initial default setting for each item is indicated by an asterisk ( *).
Setting Name Description
Profile Name This is a name assigned to identify each individual manual connection.
Input up to 10 characters.
SSID Wireless network ID name. This is normally referred to as the SSID, ESS-ID,
or network name. Input up to 32 single-byte alphanumeric characters.
Access Mode Specifies either wireless LAN connection through an access point or direct
connection between the YP-100 and computer without going through an
access point.
Access Point:
Specifies wireless LAN connection through an access point.
Ad Hoc *:
Specifies direct wireless LAN connection between the YP-100 and
computer.
Security
Setup Specifies whether or not communication over the wireless LAN connection is
encrypted. A setting to select the encryption type is also provided. The YP-
100 supports three types of encryption: WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK.
Off *:
Encryption turned off.
WEP:
Turns on WEP encryption. When this option is selected, you also must
specify a WEP key format and a WEP key.
z The letters “WEP” stand for “Wired Equivalent Privacy”. It is a security
protocol that uses a character string to encrypt data and protect against
unauthorized access to wireless communications.
WPA-PSK:
Turns on WPA-PSK encryption. When this option is selected, you also must
specify a WPA/WPA2 encoding and a WPA/WPA2 pass phrase.
z The letters “WPA” stand for “Wi-Fi Protected Access”. Like WEP, it is a
security protocol that encrypts communication data. WPA uses an
automatically generated encryption key that is changed at preset
intervals, which provides stronger security than WEP.
WPA2-PSK:
Turns on WPA2-PSK encryption. When this option is selected, you also
must specify a WPA/WPA2 encoding and a WPA/WPA2 pass phrase.
z WPA2 is a new standard of WPA.
Note
You cannot select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK when “Ad Hoc” is selected
for the “Access Mode” setting.
WEP Key
Format You only need to configure this setting when “WEP” is selected for “Security
Setup”.
You can specify any one of the following formats for input of the WEP key.
ASCII/64bit, ASCII/128bit, HEX/64bit, HEX/128bit *
For more information about inputting the WEP key using the format specified
here, see the “WEP Key / WPA/WPA2 Pass Phrase” item below.
