Data encryption

You are strongly recommended to set a Network

set, there is a danger that your data may be used by
unauthorized persons.

checkbox.

For ad hoc connection, remove the check mark
from the [Network Authentication (Shared
mode)] box.

For infrastructure mode, check the [Network

point has shared key authentication. If it is of
open system authentication, remove the check
mark from the box.

provided for me automatically] box.

between ASCII characters and hexadecimal char-
acters by the number of characters or digits
entered.

If you wish to use ASCII characters, enter the
network key in a string consisting of five or thir-
teen characters. The characters that can be used
for the Network key are: 0 - 9, A - Z, a - z, _

If you wish to use a hexadecimal number, enter
the network key in a string consisting of 10 or 26
characters. The characters that can be used for
the network key are: 0 - 9, A - F, a - f

For ad hoc connections, enter the same network
key for all computers connected to the network.
For infrastructure connection, enter the value to
match the access point. For information about
the access point, refer to the access point manual.

Type the same value in the [Confirm network
key] box.

from 1 to 4, but “1” is most typically used.

Click the [OK] button. You will return to the Wire-
less Network Properties window. Confirm that the
name you entered has been added to the [Preferred
Networks] box.
