WEP Setting
WEP is the function to encrypt the wireless data. It is currently the most effective standard security function. Because the factory setting for the WEP encryption key setting is Enabled, you must set it to Disabled to connect it to a wireless network. Once it is connected, you can set the WEP encryption key in the printer to the same as the key in the network. When it is possible to set the WEP key to 128 bits or 64 bits, select 128 bits to make it harder to decipher the key. We also recommend changing the WEP key regularly in case it is ever deciphered.
MAC Address Filtering
This prohibits a connection to an access point by any device that does not have a MAC address registered with the network. This can prevent tampering with your data but it does not prevent unauthorized monitoring of your data. Because there is possibility to be monitored, we recommend using the MAC address together with WEP.
Note:
Just as you can protect your house better with two locks instead of one, you can protect your network better by using more than one security feature. We recommend using all three of the above functions.
