is unique. When you connect to the Internet over WLAN, the connection 
is based on this information. If the field is dimmed and cannot be edited, 
the scanned SSID contains characters entered in an unknown character 
set, and not UTF-8 as the device expects.
Network is hidden
 — You must select this option if the name of your 
WLAN network is hidden. When this option is selected, your device 
actively searches for the hidden WLAN network when you establish an 
Internet connection.
Network mode
 — Select the 
Infrastructure
 or 
Ad hoc
 mode. The 
infrastructure mode is used with the Internet connections.
Security method
 — Select 
None
 (no security), 
WEP
 (medium security), 
WPA pre-shared key
 (high security), or 
WPA with EAP
 (high security).
Important: Always enable one of the available encryption 
methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN 
connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of unauthorized 
access to your data.
Tip: The device supports wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with 
key lengths of 40 or 104 bits (equal to 64 and 128 bits 
depending on the WLAN access point manufacturer).
For example, in the access point, select ASCII 40/64 bits and 
enter 5 characters. In the device, select correspondingly 40 bits 
and enter the same 5 characters.
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of wireless LAN. 
Check with your local authorities for more information.
