Tip

A shielded interface cable (LAN cable), straight or crossover, is recommended.

Getting Started

Before performing the network settings

When your wireless LAN router (access point) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)compatible, you can easily set the network settings with the WPS button. If not, check the following information in advance, and record it in the space provided below.

• The network name (SSID*) that identifies your network**.

• If security is set on your wireless network, the security key (WEP key, WPA key)**.

* SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that

identifies a particular wireless network.

** You need to check the settings of your wireless

LAN router to get the information about SSID and security key. For details: – visit the following website:

For customers in Europe and Russia: http://support.sony-europe.com/

x No Security

Although you can easily make settings, anyone can intercept wireless communication or intrude into your wireless network, even without any sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of unauthorized access or interception of data.

x WEP

WEP applies security to communications to prevent outsiders from intercepting communications or intruding into your wireless network. WEP is a legacy security technology that enables older devices which do not support TKIP/AES to be connected.

x WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK

(TKIP)

TKIP is a security technology developed in response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP assures a higher security level than WEP.

x WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK

(AES)

AES is a security technology that uses an advanced security method distinct from WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security level than WEP or TKIP.

About wireless LAN security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To protect wireless communication, this system supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your network environment.
