 [Security for wireless LAN settings]
<

Network authentication>

Set the authentication to enhance network security. Select a method identical to that of 
the wireless LAN terminal to be connected with.
<

Encryption>

Set 

Encryption according to the setting you made for Network authentication, as 

follows.
When you have set 

Network authentication to Open or Shared, select WEP for 

Encryption.
When you have set 

Network authentication to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, select TKIP or 

AES for Encryption.
Note: 

Network authentication is factory-set to None. If you use the projector with this 
setting left unchanged, security may be compromised due to access by a third 
party within the projector’s coverage.

<

Key index>

When you have set 

Encryption to WEP, Key index must be set. By default, “1” 

is selected. Select a key index identical to that of the wireless LAN terminal to be 
connected with.
Note:  Since the range of key index varies by product type (1 to 4 or 0 to 3), make 

settings with attention.

<

Network key>

For use at an encryption level of 64-bit, specify a string of 5 arbitrary characters or a 
string of 10 characters in hexadecimal notation.
For use at the 18-bit level, specify a string of 13 arbitrary characters or a string of 6 
characters in hexadecimal notation.

When you have set Encryption to [TKIP]/[AES]:
Specify a string of 8 to 63 arbitrary characters or a string of 64 characters in 
hexadecimal notation. 
Note 1:  Alphabetic characters (A to F, a to f) used in hexadecimal notation are not 

case sensitive; the uppercase characters and their lowercase equivalents are 
handled to be identical.

Note :  The longer the strings of characters set for the Network key, the stronger the 

encryption becomes, and hence the harder it will be for a third party to decipher 
your communications. However, the setting of larger encryption may slow down 
communication speed.

Note 3:  To set a higher security level, specify a longer string of characters. For 

higher security, avoid using a word found in a dictionary and change the key 
sometimes.

<

Setting initialization>

This item resets the wireless LAN settings to their factory defaults.
