  • Page 16: Notes On Security

    EX-150AH User's Manual 1. Introduction 1-3-2. Notes on Security Because a wireless LAN uses electromagnetic signals instead of a LAN cable to establish communication with network devices, it has the advantage of allowing devices to connect to the network easily. However, a disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, and if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.
