Security Level ··········
This setting item is used to set the degree of data encryp-
tion used to protect the data transmitted over the wireless
network.
(default setting: None)
The AP-3 uses WEP (wired equivalent privacy) encryp-
tion.
Except for [WEP Key], all setting items under [Security
Level Custom Settings] are set automatically according to
the security level (Low, Medium, or High) selected here.
When this setting item is set to “Custom” the setting items
(except WEP Key) under [Security Level Custom
Settings] can be set arbitrarily.
* We recommend using the same security level for
devices that will be communicating with each other.
However, a wireless terminal with a security setting of
“Medium” can communicate with another wireless or
wired terminal through an AP-3 unit with a security set-
ting of “Low.”
e
Key Generator··········
This setting item is used to enter a character string for
generating the key used for encryption and decryption.
Typed characters are displayed as asterisks (*).
(Display example: **)
The keys generated from the entered character string are
displayed in the WEP Key text boxes under [Security
Level Custom Settings].
* Enter the same character string (arbitrary combination
of alphanumeric characters and symbols for which
upper and lower case letters are distinguished) as the
other devices with which AP-3 will be communicating. If
different character strings are used, the encrypted data
cannot be decrypted.
