Precautions on security when using wireless LAN products
●
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment
and an access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions.
On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available
everywhere within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are not
made.
• A malicious third-party may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail
and personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
• A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the
following types of behaviour.
Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing)
Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)
●
Since most wireless LAN adaptors or access points are equipped with security features to take care of these
problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the
appropriate security settings for the wireless LAN device.
●
Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after purchase. To decrease the possibility of
occurrence of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all security-
related settings according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.
Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security settings
by special means.
Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settings or other such.
If you cannot perform security settings for your wireless LAN by yourself, please contact the Panasonic Support
Center.
●
Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security settings,
and recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.
