Podcasts and your

About the Wireless LAN function
You can connect the gigabeat® to your wireless LAN access point to
access the Internet and download podcast content.
A “Podcast” is an audio distribution service using the RSS (Really
Simple Syndication) technology. You can access desired podcast
sites (network radio programs, blogs, etc.) and download content.
❖ Connection specifications
Applicable standard: IEEE 802.11 b/g
Encryption methods: WEP, TKIP, AES
Access method: Infrastructure
Notes on security when Wireless LAN products are used
A wireless LAN allows the user to exchange information between a
computer or other device and a wireless LAN access point using
radio waves, instead of using a LAN cable. Accordingly, the user
can access the LAN any time and anywhere within the service area.
However, radio waves transmit through structures (walls, etc.) and
reach all locations within the specified service area, which gives
rise to the following risks if security measures are not taken:
87
Page 89
88
Podcasts and your gigabeat®
Setting up a Wireless LAN connection
❖ Communication data gets stolen
An unauthorized individual may intentionally intercept radio
waves and steal communication data, such as the following:
❖ ID, password, credit card number and other personal
information
❖ E-mail contents
❖ Illegal accesses
An unauthorized individual may access a private or company
network without authorization and carry out the following acts:
❖ Retrieve personal information or confidential information
(divulgement of information)
❖ Pretend to be someone else and communicate or distribute
illegal information (spoofing)
❖ Intercept and modify communication data and send
modified information (alteration)
❖ Send computer viruses to damage data and systems
(sabotage)
Wireless LAN cards and wireless LAN access points normally
incorporate security features to address these problems. By using
each wireless LAN product after properly setting its security
function, you can reduce the risks of the above problems occurring.
TOSHIBA recommends that the user fully understand the
consequences of not setting the security function properly, and use
each product after setting its security function at the user’s own
discretion and responsibility.
Setting up a Wireless LAN connection
The following settings are necessary to connect the gigabeat® to
your access point or wireless LAN router (access point with router
function).
