Additional security is provided by encoding the packets with the WEP function. How to use WEP is shown
in the following procedure.
• If the WEP function is already set, communication with Macintosh computers is not possible
since the WEP function is not compatible with the Airport WEP function.
• The AirStation is compatible with other wireless LAN products if they have the Wi-Fi certifies
WEP function.
Be sure to set the WEP (encoding) using a PC on the Ethernet LAN network. If you set this
term a PC on the wireless LAN, communication with the AirStation may be disabled. If communication
with the AirStation is disabled, refer to Chapter 2 Troubleshooting.
