Using wireless security features
When you set up a home WLAN or access an existing public WLAN, always enable
security features to protect the network from unauthorized access. The most common
security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal (WPA-Personal) and Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP).
When setting up a network, HP recommends that you use one or more of the following
security measures:
Enable WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption on the router.
Change the default network name (SSID) and password.
Set up a firewall.
Set security on your Web browser.

Connecting a Modem
For information on connecting to the Internet, see “Connecting to the Internet” in this guide.
The modem is used for connecting to an ISP that provides a telephone dial-up connection
to the Internet.
Before you can use telephone dial-up to connect to the Internet and send or receive e-mail
and faxes, you must connect your telephone service line to the modem (
A ), which is on the
back of the computer ( B ). The setup poster shows you how to plug a modem/telephone
cable into the computer modem connector and into the telephone service line wall jack
connector.
