MAC (Media Access Control) address filtering
MAC addresses are unique addresses on the network, which are assigned to the
computer’s network interface cards. An access point allows access by only devices
if their MAC addresses match the addresses in an authentication list used by the
access point. Register your MAC address with the access point which you are
using. (For more information, refer to the manual of the access point.)
To confirm the MAC address of the computer;
1. Click start – All Programs – Accessories – Command Prompt .
2. Type ipconfig/all and press Enter .
3. Confirm the numbers of Physical Address in the Ethernet adapter
Wireless Network Connection field.
4. Type exit and press Enter .

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
The computer supports WPA, a wireless LAN security standard increasing the level
of data protection and access control compared to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
encryption. To use the WPA security, a WPA-enabled access point is required. To
implement user authentication, one of the security enhancements of WPA, an
authentication server is needed. For details on WPA features, consult your network
administrator or the manual of the access point which you are using.
Encryption
The computer provides new encryption mechanisms, TKIP and AES, as well as the
WEP. All of the TKIP, AES and WEP techniques can transmit encrypted data to make
illegal interception more difficult.
•
To use the WEP functions, your communication partner must support
the functions.
•
To utilize TKIP, the access point which you are using must support
TKIP.
•
To utilize AES, the access point which you are using must support AES.
•
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP relies on an encryption key that is shared between a wireless device and an
access point. The key is used to encrypt data and decrypt the transmitted data.
