5. Click the [Encryption] tab.
6. Set the encryption items in accordance with Table 9.
■
AdHoc Network: Specify the same value for all the
computers for which the encryption key is used for
connection.

Infrastructure Network: Specify the identical
encryption keys to the encryption keys set for the
access point. For instructions on how to check the
encryption keys set for the access point, refer to the
access point manual.
P O I N T
If you purchased a LifeBook with the optional wireless
LAN, the integrated wireless LAN device and drivers
have already been installed. This procedure outlines the
steps for setting the device parameters.
Updated drivers and/or utilities may become available
after this manual is printed; see any addenda or fliers
that may be included in the system packaging.

AdHoc
Channel
AdHoc Network:
Select the same
channel, 1-11, for all connected
computers. If there is more than one
wireless LAN nearby (such as on the
same floor), we recommend that the
channels for each LAN be 5 numbers
apart (e.g., if there are two other LANs
nearby, the channels used should be 1,
6, and 11).
Infrastructure Network:
Not an option.
P O I N T
Make sure that you specify the encryption keys. If you
do not specify the keys, any computer with a wireless
LAN card can be connected. This presents a risk that
your data may be stolen or destroyed.
