6.3.4 SECURITY FEATURES
SSID (Service Set ID)
The SSID is used by the access point to recognize the client and allow access to
the network. Only clients that share the same SSID with the access point can
access the network.
NOTE: 1) If the SSID is not set, clients connect to the nearest access point.
2) The SSID can be set using the web status monitor or telnet.
Using the SSID in Ad hoc mode
When the SSID is used in ad hoc mode and nothing is set, the machine
automatically uses “ASSID” as the SSID. In such a case, “ASSID” must also be set
at the client.
NOTE: SSID in ad hoc mode is sometimes called “Network Name.”
Some devices automatically change from ad hoc mode to infrastructure mode
when the same SSID is used in ad hoc mode and infrastructure mode. In such a
case, to use the device in ad hoc mode, use a specified SSID in infrastructure
mode and use “ASSID” in the ad hoc mode.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP is a coding system designed to protect wireless data transmission. In order to
unlock encoded data, the same WEP key is required on the receiving side. There
are 64 bit and 128 bit WEP keys. However, this machine supports only 64 bit WEP.
NOTE: The WEP key can be set using the web status monitor or telnet.
MAC Address
When the infrastructure mode is used, access to the network can also be limited at
the access points using the MAC address. This setting may not be available with
some types of access points.
