5.5.3 security

The Security Settings options let you increase the security level of the

projector server. By default, the device doesn’t enable wireless security

so that wireless clients don’t need to know the password for the wireless

network before they connect.

Encryption: Select one of four options from the drop-down menu.

NOTE:Eachoftheseoptionsisexplainedbrieybelow,withseparate

subsections that follow with detailed explanations of the features.

wireless network to connect to it and download client software.

 •WEP — Though some people could use certain utility software to

discover the password used by Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

encryption, it can still provide a certain level of security. And since

most wireless clients support WEP (particularly old IEEE 802.11b

wireless clients), it provides better compatibility.

 •WPA pre-shared key — Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides

better protection strength against malicious attackers, and most

up-to-date wireless clients support WPA.
