About Wireless LAN
Wi-Fi®
Wi-Fi Certification assures tested and proven interoperability by the
Wi-Fi Alliance, a group certifying interoperability among wireless
LAN devices.
IEEE 802.11b
This is one wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group
that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States. It uses
the 2.4 GHz band usable freely without a radio frequency license
(ISM band), enabling communications at a maximum speed of 11
Mbps.
The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for
the wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data
transfer rate.
IEEE 802.11g
This is another wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group
that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States, and is
compatible with IEEE 802.11b. It also uses the 2.4 GHz band, but
enables communications at a maximum speed of 54 Mbps.
The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for
the wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data
transfer rate.
Infrastructure Communications
“Infrastructure Communications” refers to networks using wireless
LAN access points.
This function can be used to connect to the Internet or a wired
LAN via a wireless LAN access point. Wireless LAN access points
include wireless broadband routers.
Network Names (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
When forming wireless LAN networks, groups are formed to
prevent interference, data theft, etc. This grouping is done by
“SSID” or “Security Set Identifiers”. For further security, a WEP
key is set and signal transfer is not possible unless the SSID and
WEP key match.
WEP Key (Network Key)
This is key information used for encrypting data when conducting
data transfer. On the AVR-4810CI, the same WEP key is used for
data encryption and decryption, so the same WEP key must be
set on both devices in order for communications to be established
between them.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
This is a standard drawn up by the Wi-Fi Alliance to ease the task of
setting up wireless LAN connections and configuring security.
There are two methods: push-button and PIN (Personal Identification
Number) code.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
This is a security standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In
addition to the conventional SSID (network name) and WEP
key (network key), it also uses a user identification function and
encrypting protocol for stronger security.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
This is a new version of the WPA established by the Wi-Fi Alliance,
compatible with more secure AES encryption.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared Key)
This is a simple authentication system for mutual authentication
when a preset character string matches on the wireless LAN
access point and client.
Passphrase
This refers to the code key used for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
authentication, a WPA authentication method.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
This is a network key used for WPA. The encryption algorithm is
RC4, the same as for WEP, but the security level is increased by
changing the network key used for encryption for each packet.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
This is a next generation standard encryption method replacing
the current DES and 3DES, and because of its high security it is
expected to be applied widely to wireless LANs in the future. It uses
the “Rijndael” algorithm developed by two Belgian cryptographers
to divide the data into blocks of fixed lengths and encrypt each
block. It supports data lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits and key
lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits as well, offering extremely high
encryption security.

This device uses WM-DRM software to play Secure Content (WM-
DRM Software). If the security of the WM-DRM Software in this device
has been compromised, owners of Secure Content (Secure Content
Owners) may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software’s
right to acquire new licenses to copy, display and/or play Secure
Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software’s ability to
play unprotected content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent
to your device whenever you download a license for Secure Content
from the Internet or from a PC. Microsoft may, in conjunction with
such license, also download revocation list onto your device on behalf
of Secure Content Owners.
