Notes

• The LocationFree Base Station transmits on the 2.4 GHz wireless channel. If other devices in the vicinity emit electrical waves, such as a wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The materials used in the construction of a building’s walls and floors may also affect the signal strength.

• When using NetAV, the Base Station, router, and connected devices at home also need to be left on when you are away from home so that you can connect to them via the Internet.

• Use of the NetAV function for purposes other than personal enjoyment is prohibited.

• You can use this Base Station as a Wireless Access Point.

About Wireless Security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To decrease this danger, the LocationFree Base Station supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your intended purpose and network environment.

Wireless LAN security function of the LocationFree Base Station

•WEP

WEP is the wireless LAN security technology specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption to communications. There are two types of encryption key length; 64-bit key and 128-bit key. The 128-bit encryption key assures a higher security level. A decryption technique exists, however, so using the same encryption key for an extended period of time is not recommended.

• WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption

WPA is a security technology developed to correct for the deficiencies of WEP. The LocationFree Base Station utilizes WPA together with TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption assures the highest security level among the technologies supported by the LocationFree Base Station.

Security settings of the LocationFree Base Station

The security for wireless LAN communication is set to WEP as the factory default. To increase the security level, switch to WPA-PSK. Note, however, that the communication stability may differ depending on which technology you use, WEP or WPA-PSK.

Notes

• When choosing encryption keys and pre-shared keys, you should avoid words and phrases that are easy for other people to guess.

• For better security, you should change your encryption key or pre-shared key periodically.

z Tips

• You will need the SSID, and the encryption key or pre-shared key, when you connect your computer to the Base Station via a wireless connection. Make a note of the information you enter here.

• The information set here is only used in normal mode. In setup mode, the initial settings shown on the side of the Base Station are used (1 pages 11 and 14).

• Configuring the wireless settings on a computer connected to the Base Station via a wired LAN is recommended to ensure security.

Also you can use the Base Station as a Wireless Access Point. If you use the Base Station as a Wireless Access Point, you can connect to the Internet via the Base Station from a device equipped with a wireless LAN function.

z Tip

To use the Base Station as a wireless access point for computers, the computers must be equipped with integrated wireless LAN functions or wireless LAN cards that conform to the IEEE802.11b/g standards.

Notes

• Not all wireless LAN devices can be guaranteed to connect to the Base Station.

• You can also connect a maximum of 16 wireless LAN devices by using the Base Station as an access point. In some cases, however, the number of connecting devices may cause the communication speed to decrease. For example, you may not be able to send or receive video smoothly if other wireless LAN devices connect and communicate with the Base Station.

Setting Up Your Computer

To use a wireless LAN from a computer, you need a computer with a built-in wireless LAN function or a wireless LAN card that conforms to the IEEE802.11b/g standard. Next, you must configure the Windows environment settings, Internet connection settings, and wireless connection settings on your computer to match the wireless LAN settings of the Base Station, so that the computer can communicate with the Base Station (1 page 14). For more information, refer to the user’s manual of your computer and the operating instructions that came with your wireless LAN card.
