• Cautions on security when using wireless LAN products
With a wireless LAN, radio waves are used instead of LAN cables for the exchange of data between the wireless
access points (computers, etc.), offering the advantage that LAN connections can be made freely within the range
of the radio waves.
On the other hand, the radio waves reach all points within this range, regardless of walls or other obstacles, possibly
resulting in the problems described below if the proper security measures are not taken.
• Contents of transmissions may be intercepted
Malicious third parties may purposely intercept the radio waves and steal information contained in the transmissions,
including such personal information as ID numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, e-mail messages, etc.
• Improper intrusions
Malicious third parties may without permission access the personal or company network and steal personal or
confidential information, pretend to be someone else and leak incorrect information, rewrite information that has
been intercepted, introduce computer viruses or otherwise damage data or the system, etc.
Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points generally include security measures for dealing with these problems.
Making the proper security settings before using the products can reduce the risk of such problems arising.
We recommend that you fully understand the problems that can arise when using the products without making the
security settings, then that you make the security settings based on your own decision and at your own discretion.
