Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures

One of the advantages of using a wireless LAN is that it is possible to
communicate easily if you are within the range of the electromagnetic
waves, because with a wireless LAN data is exchanged through
electromagnetic waves.
On the other hand, since electromagnetic waves extend through
obstacles such as walls, the content of the communication can be
intercepted, and the network can be breached without using any
special tools if security is not set.
To prevent these problems, the projector is provided with the following
security functions.
• Data encryption
Encode and transmit data. Even if data is intercepted, it cannot be
deciphered. Whenever you establish a connection in "Quick
Connection Mode" you should always encrypt your data.
• Connection limitation (Authentication)
A users name and a password are registered in advance, which
means that only the registered wireless port can connect to the
network and prevents unauthorized third parties from connecting to
the network. The projector supports this setting when using a
wireless LAN in "Advanced Connection Mode" to establish a
connection. sUser's Guide
