    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.

  8. Press the [Down arrow key] or [Up arrow key] key to display [Authent. Meth.], and then press the [Sharp Enter] key.

    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 [Down arrow key] or [Up arrow key] 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 the 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.

  10. Press the [Menu] key.
