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 Data Projector 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 Data Projector and

 

computer.

 

 

Security

Specifies whether or not communication over the wireless LAN connection is

Setup

encrypted. A setting to select the encryption type is also provided. The Data

 

Projector 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.

zThe 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.

zWPA2 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

You only need to configure this setting when “WEP” is selected for “Security

 

Format

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.
