To prevent misuse, the MP.11/a provides wireless data encryption and password-protected access. Be sure to
set the encryption parameters and change the default passwords.
Encryption
You can protect the wireless data link by using encryption. Encryption keys can be 5 (64-bit), 13 (WEP 128-bit),
or 16 (AES 128-bit) characters in length. Both ends of the wireless data link must use the same parameter
values.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption is supported on the MP.11a only.
