Checking The Type Of Access Point - Canon WFT-E8A Instruction Manual

Checking the Type of Access Point

To connect using an access point, check if the access point supports
*
WPS that allows easy connection between Wi-Fi devices.
If you do not know if the access point you use is WPS-compatible, refer
to the access point instruction manual or other documentation.
* Wi-Fi Protected Setup
When WPS is supported

The following two connection methods are available. Connection
can be established easier with WPS (PBC mode).
• Connecting via WPS (PBC mode): Perform the operations
described on page 28.
• Connecting via WPS (PIN mode): Perform the operations
described on page 29.
When WPS is not supported

• Connecting to a detected network manually: Perform the
operations described on page 31.
Access Point Encryption
The transmitter supports the following options for [Authentication] and
[Encryption settings]. Therefore, when connecting to a detected
network manually, the encryption used by the access point must be one
of the following.
[Authentication]: Open system, Shared key, or WPA/WPA2-PSK

[Encryption settings]: WEP, TKIP, or AES

If stealth functions of the access point are active, connection may

be disabled. Deactivate stealth functions.
When connecting to a network that has a network administrator, ask the

administrator about the detailed setting procedures.
If the network you use filters by MAC address, register the MAC address of
the transmitter at the access point. The MAC address can be checked on
the [Function settings] screen (p.114).
