For security, we recommend that you enable encryption (WEP). If you enable
WEP, enable encryption on the access point side as well.
(The setting described below is only an example. For the other settings, ask
your system administrator or the person in charge of the network.)
A
Select [WEP] on [Data Encryption].
B
Select [64-bit] or [128-bit] from [Encryption Level].
C
Input the Encryption key in [Wireless Security Password (Encryption key)].
In the case of pass phrase: [64-bit (5 characters)] [128-bit (13 characters)]. In
the case of hexadecimal: [64-bit (10 digits)] [128-bit (26 digits)].
• Set the same values for the computer side and the access point side
.
• When using an access point for which "128-bit" can be set (some access
points display "104-bit"), we recommend setting data encryption to "128-
bit" to prevent unauthorized decryption.
