Type of security

When the supplied wireless LAN unit is installed and being used in Manual Mode, it is strongly recommended that you set security. Select one of the
following security 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/WPA2

This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA encryption methods, this
projector uses "TKIPg". TKIP uses PSK (Pre-Shared Key) 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 multiple protocols, such as EAP-TLS which uses electronic
certification for user authentication, LEAP which uses user ID and password, and EAP-TTLS.
