SSID, such as MyHome.

SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID broadcast.

Ÿ Enabled: The device broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN and users can easily access the

WLAN. In this case, unauthorized users can also access the WLAN because the SSID is

broadcasted.

Ÿ Disabled: The device does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. Before accessing the

WLAN, a user must obtain the SSID of the WLAN. In this case, the WLAN security is

improved.

& Note:

For the convenience of users accessing the WLAN, you can select Enabled for

SSID Broadcast when you configure the WLAN setting. After the setting, you can

select Disable to improve the WLAN security.

Configuring the WLAN Encryption Mode

To access the WLAN, you must set the wireless security key on your PC to be the same as

that of the wireless device.

No Encryption

For the convenience of users accessing the WLAN, you can select NO ENCRYPTION for

the Encryption mode when you set up a WLAN. It is not recommended to select this

option in daily use.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Ÿ WPA-PSK: It is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key.

Ÿ WPA2-PSK: It is a more secure version of WPA-PSK and it supports the IEEE 802.11

standard.

Ÿ WPA Encryption Algorithm: TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.

Ÿ WPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter a 64-character hexadecimal value or

8–63-character ASCII value as the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can

be entered through the PC keyboard, and the hexadecimal value contains numbers of 0–9

and characters of A– F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the

key.

Ÿ Network Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is

dynamically changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to

0 or null.

WEP

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a 64-bit or 128-bit data encryption method. The

128-bit WEP encryption provides higher security level.

Network key 1: You can enter 5 ASCII characters or 10-character hexadecimal numeral to

form a 64-bit key. You can also enter 13 ASCII characters or 26-character hexadecimal
