About wireless LAN
security
Since communication via the wireless LAN
function is established by radio waves, the
wireless signal may be susceptible to
interception. To protect wireless
communication, this system supports
various security functions. Be sure to
correctly configure the security settings in
accordance with your network
environment.
x No Security
Although you can easily make settings,
anyone can intercept wireless
communication or intrude into your
wireless network, even without any
sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there
is a risk of unauthorized access or
interception of data.
x WEP
WEP applies security to communications
to prevent outsiders from intercepting
communications or intruding into your
wireless network. WEP is a legacy security
technology that enables older devices
which do not support TKIP/AES to be
connected.
x WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK
(TKIP)
TKIP is a security technology developed in
response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP
assures a higher security level than WEP.
x WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK
(AES)
AES is a security technology that uses an
advanced security method distinct from
WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher
security level than WEP or TKIP.
