● Encryption mode
Setting for encrypting the flow of data during wireless communication.
Following settings are available:
None (Open System): No encryption. Setting will be unavailable and throughput will be improved. However, there is the risk of infor-
mation leakage.
40blt WEP: Encryption is performed using 40-blt encryption key.
128blt: Encryption is performed using 104-blt + 24-blt (1V) keys. Although throughput will decline compared to Open
System, security of data will be improved.
● Access point (wireless LAN)
Relay point for infrastructure communication. It can also serve as the relay point for cable LAN or wireless LAN.
● ASF (Advanced Streaming Format)
Data streaming format developed by Microsoft Corporation (U.S.) for transmission of video and audio.
