Notes • The setting of the HTTP port number is common to the setting in the Network tab. • With Ad hoc mode, you cannot select Use WEP key automatically generated of WEP, or WPA or WPA2 on Security. • When you set Security to WPA or WPA2 and change Infrastructure mode to Ad hoc mode, Security setting is automatically changed to None.
The length of a WEP key is 40 or 104 bit. A 104-bit WEP key has a higher security level than a 40-bit key. You can type the WEP key either in hexadecimal numbers (0 to 9 and A to F) or ASCII characters (alphanumeric). In hexadecimal, type 10 characters for a 40-bit key, or 26 characters for a 104-bit key. In ASCII, type 5 characters for a 40-bit key, or 13 characters for a 104-bit key. When Type is set to Infrastructure mode, the WEP key should be the same as that of the access point.
Network address Enter the network address of the target on which to perform QoS. Subnet Enter the subnet mask values of the target on which to perform QoS. Select On to configure the QoS setting for IPv6. Rule Used to register, edit and delete QoS. The subnet mask value represents the number of bits from the left side of the network address. No. Select the number to use when registering on the QoS table. When you select a registered number, the registered QoS information is displayed.
Down Decreases the priority of the rule. Select a rule from the QoS table to lower its priority and click Down. QoS table Displays the list of registered QoS information. If multiple conditions match, the rule with the smallest number has priority. Tip The standard port number is 25. If TLS is enabled, the standard port number for SMTPs is 465. Use TLS To use the encryption function by TLS, set to On. Note The model on sale in China does not support the TLS function.
POP server name It is necessary when POP before SMTP is selected for Authentication. Type the POP (receiving mail) server name, using up to 64 characters. Or type the IP address of the POP server. This setting is necessary when the SMTP server that sends e-mails performs authentication using the POP user account. POP port number Enter a port number from 110 to 65535. The standard port number is 110. If TLS is enabled, the standard port number for POP3s is 995.
