Notes on Security when Using Wireless LAN

(Importantinformationoncustomer rights (maintainingprivacy)

The advantage of usinga wireless LAN over a LAN cable is that, because informationisexchanged usingradio signals, youcaneasily connectto the network if youare withinrange of

the radio signals. A disadvantage of this is thatwithina certainrange, the electromagnetic

signals canpass through barriers such as walls, so thatif security countermeasures are not

implemented insome way, problems such as the followingmay occur.

Communicationdata canbe intercepted

A third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions withoutauthorization, and they

could obtainpersonal informationfrom these transmissions such as IDs, passwords, or credit

card numbers, or they could interceptthe contents of personal e-mail messages.

Unauthorized access to the networkA third party could access anindividual or intra-company network withoutpermissionand

carry outany of the followingactivities.

Retrieve personal data or other secret information (information leakage)

Pose as another user and send inappropriate data (impersonation)

Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it (falsification)

Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes (damage)

Initially, the possibility thatsuch problems could occur through settings concerningthe

security of the wireless LAN productand by usingthe productare decreased, because the

wireless LAN card and the access pointhave security measures to deal with these problems.

We recommend thatyouuse this productafter makingsecurity settings usingour ownjudgementand assumingfull responsibility, and with your full understandingof problems

thatmay occur if youdo notmake any security settings.

Notes on Setting SSID (Service Set Identifier)

For protectionof security, note the followingprecautions whensettingthe SSID.

Change the SSID from the defaultsetting.

Do notsettexts by which the owner canbe identified as the SSID.

Notes on Setting Cryptographic Key

For protectionof security, note the followingprecautions whensettingthe cryptographic key.

Avoid usingwords ona dictionary as practicably as possible.

Combine meaningless alphanumeric characters and symbols.

Use texts consisted of atleast13 characters or more or of 20 characters or more if possible.
