[WPA/WPA2 Configuration]
These settings are not displayed when [Network Authentication] is set
to [Open].
Network
Authentica-
tion
Select the network authentication
mode that will be used to connect
to the wireless base station
(access point). To ensure a secure
network, it is recommended to use
WPA/WPA2. For IEEE 802.11n,
only AES can be used
• Open (Open System)
Allows all access without
authentication. For encryption
mode, WEP can be used.
•WPA
Uses PSK for network
authentication. For encryption
mode, TKIP/AES can be
selected. The encryption key will
be generated by communicating
with your access point using a
pre-shared key. The WEP key
setting is not used for this mode.
•WPA2
Uses PSK for network
authentication. For encryption
mode, TKIP/AES can be
selected. The encryption key will
be generated by communicating
with your access point using a
pre-shared key. The WEP key
setting is not used for this mode.
•WPA MIX
Uses WPA1 or WPA2 for network
authentication. WPA1 is used for
authentication with a device that
does not support WPA2. The
highly secure WPA2 is used for
authentication with a device that
supports it.

Encryption
Mode
Select the encryption mode that
you wish to use for WPA/WPA2
authentication.
This setting must be the same as
that of the other devices (access
point, etc.) you wish to connect to.
Select one of the following:
•TKIP
•AES
Usually, AES is safer than TKIP. To
ensure higher security, it is
recommended to use AES when
you build a wireless network.
AES
Pre-Shared
Key
Set the pre-shared key. This setting
is necessary when TKIP/AES is
used for the encryption mode.The
pre-shared key is a keyword used
to generate the encryption key. It is
also referred to as a [network key]
or [password].
Alphanumeric characters are used
(8 to 63 characters).
This setting must be the same as
that of the other devices (access
point, etc.) you wish to connect to.
