Security Precautions
Wireless LAN uses radio waves instead of LAN cables to send and receive data between a computer and a wireless
access point, making it possible to freely establish a LAN connection within a range of the radio waves. However,
radio waves can be received through obstacles, such as walls, when within the range. Therefore, if security settings
are not made, the following problems may occur. Unauthorized viewing of data An unauthorized third party can
intercept the radio waves and view e-mail messages and personal information, such as user ID and password or
your credit card information. Unauthorized access An unauthorized third party can access a personal or corporate
network and cause the following damage:
- Intercepting personal information and confidential information (information leak)
- Using a false identity to communicate and disclose information illegally (identity theft)
- Changing and transmitting intercepted data (tampering)
- Damaging data and systems by spreading a computer virus (destruction)
The wireless LAN card and wireless access point have security features to counter these problems. Using the
security settings of the wireless LAN equipment can help prevent these problems from occurring. The security
settings of the wireless LAN equipment are not configured at the time of purchase.
To reduce security problems, configure all security settings of the wireless LAN equipment according to the
manual before using the wireless LAN card and wireless access point. Please be aware that the security settings
do not provide complete security protection due to wireless LAN specifications. If you are unable to configure the
security settings yourself, please contact your local authorized dealer. The customer is responsible for configuring
the security settings and understanding the risks inherent in using the product without the security settings
configured.
