WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
When using wireless communication, WEP is used to
encrypt data to prevent it from being analyzed by another
party. To enable WEP, you must configure a wireless
passkey called a WEP key.
The AIBO
®
Entertainment Robot ERS-7 supports both the
WEP64 (40 bit) and the WEP128 (104 bit) encryption
systems.
If using WEP64, use 5 alphanumeric characters, or “0x”
followed by 10 hexadecimal characters.
If using WEP128, use 13 alphanumeric characters, or “0x”
followed by 26 hexadecimal characters.
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)
Wi-Fi Alliance, the wireless LAN industry organization,
prescribed this standard specification to ensure connectivity.
Products that comply with this specification are allowed to
use the “Wi-Fi (certified)” logo.
The wireless LAN module installed in the AIBO robot
ERS-7 is certified by Wi-Fi, and supports connections with
other Wi-Fi certified 2.4 GHz wireless LAN products (IEEE
802.11b compliant).
Wireless channel
Under IEEE 802.11b, the 2.4 GHz band is divided into 14
channels. Assigning different channels to different networks
in proximity to one another avoids channel interference.
The AIBO robot ERS-7 can use wireless channels 1-11.
To configure the wireless channel under Infrastructure mode,
set the channel value on the access point. The new setting
will be automatically reflected in all of the network devices.
