f Security Menu

Sub Menu Security Type of security
Function Select the security type from the items that are displayed. sEasyMP Operation Guide When setting up security, follow the instructions from the administrator of the network system you are about to access.
When connecting and communicating in wireless LAN mode, you can select one of the following encryption and authentication methods. WEP Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key) This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match. WPA This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are several kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses "TKIPg". TKIP uses PSK to automatically update the encryption key at regular fixed intervals, which makes it harder to break compared to WEP which uses a constant encryption key. WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server. EAP EAP is a protocol used for communication between clients and authentication severs. These are several protocols, such as EAP-TLS which uses electronic certification for user authentification, LEAP which uses user ID and password, and EAP-TTLS.
