Wireless Settings Screen
The Wireless Settings screen
shows the SSID of the selected
wireless device the DVC-1100
will attach to and allows setting
the DVC-1100 for WEP encryp-
tion. The DVC-1100 has WEP
encryption disabled by default.
Encryption will make your wire-
less network more secure, but
may slow down the network due
to the increased traffic caused by
the encryption.

SSID
The SSID name selected on the Wireless Site Survey screen appears here.
It can be entered/edited using the on-screen keyboard. This may be neces-
sary if a SSID does not appear in the Wireless Site Survey screen because
SSID broadcast feature is disabled on the wireless router or access point.
Auth Type
Press the down arrow on the remote to select the authentication type (Auth
Type). Select one of the authentication types by pressing Enter. The authenti-
cation type must match the type used by the wireless network if encryption is
enabled.
Open System: Communicates the key across the network.
Shared Key: Allows communication only with devices with identical en-
cryption settings.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an industry standard encryption
technology used by 802.11b wireless devices. See “WEP” in the
Glossary for more details.
