<Network authentication>
Set the authentication to enhance network security. Select a method identical to that of the wireless LAN terminal to be connected with.
<Encryption>
Set Encryption according to the setting you made for Network authentication, as follows.
When you have set Network authentication to Open or Shared, select WEP for Encryption.
When you have set Network authentication to

<Key index>
When you have set Encryption to WEP, Key index must be set. By default, “1” is selected. Select a key index identical to that of the wireless LAN terminal to be connected with.
Note: Since the range of key index varies by product type (1 to 4 or 0 to 3), make settings with attention.
<Network key>
When you have set Encryption to [WEP]:

When you have set Encryption to [TKIP]/[AES]:
Specify a string of 8 to 63 arbitrary characters or a string of 64 characters in hexadecimal notation.
Note 1: Alphabetic characters (A to F, a to f) used in hexadecimal notation are not case sensitive; the uppercase characters and their lowercase equivalents are handled to be identical.
Note 2: The longer the strings of characters set for the Network key, the stronger the encryption becomes, and hence the harder it will be for a third party to decipher your communications. However, the setting of larger encryption may slow down communication speed.
Note 3: To set a higher security level, specify a longer string of characters. For higher security, avoid using a word found in a dictionary and change the key sometimes.
<Setting initialization>
This item resets the wireless LAN settings to their factory defaults.
