Consult your network administrator for information about making encryption settings.

Encryption settings are as follows:

  • TKIP

    Uses the same algorithm as RC4, but further reduces vulnerability using methods such as key mixing.

  • CCMP(AES)

    Increases security using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

    Wait for two seconds. The display returns to the [WPA] menu.

Authentication settings are as follows:

  • WPA-PSK

    Performs authentication using an encryption key (a Pre-Shared Key) that is shared by the access point and client. Enter the Pre-Shared Key using between 8 and 63 ASCII characters. Select [PSK Entry] using the [image] or [image] key in the [WPA] menu, and then enter the characters.

  • WPA

    WPA uses CA certificates and a RADIUS server to provide secure wireless communication.

  • WPA2-PSK

    As with WPA-PSK, authenticate using the encryption key (a Pre-Shared Key)shared by the access point and client. Enter Pre-Shared Key .using between 8 and 63 ASCII characters.

  • WPA2

    WPA2 is an expanded version of WPA that fully supports IEEE802.11i.

Wait for 2 seconds, the display returns to the [WPA] menu.
