Notes on Security when Using Wireless LAN
(Impor tant information on cust omer rights (maintaining privacy))
The advantage of u sing a wireless LAN o ver a LAN cable is tha t, because info rmation
is exchanged using radio signals , you can easily connect to the network if you are
within range of the radio signals. A disadvan tage of this is that within a certain
range, the electromagnetic signals can pass thr ough barriers such as walls, so that if
security countermeasures are not implemented in some w ay , problems such as the
following may oc cur .
•Communicat ed data can be intercept ed
A third party may be able to receive wireless tr ansmissions without
authorization, and they could obtain personal information from these
transmissions such as IDs, passwor ds, or credit car d numbers, or they could
intercept the c ontents of personal e-mail messages.
•Unauthorized access t o the network
A third party could access an individual or intra-company network
without permission and carr y out any of the f ollowing activities.
- Retrieve personal data or other secret information (inf ormation leakage)
- Pose as another user and send inappr opriate data (impersonation)
- Overwr ite the cont ents of interc epted data and resend it (falsication)
- Introduce a computer virus which could cause da ta loss or system crashes
(damage)
Initially, the possibility that such pr oblems could occur through settings
concerning the security of the wireless LAN product and by using the product
are decreased, because the wir eless LAN card and the access point ha ve security
measures to deal with these problems . W e recommend that you use this
product after making securit y settings using your own judg ment and assuming
full responsibility , and with your full understanding of problems that ma y occur
if you do not make any security settings.
Epson shall not be responsible for an y leakage of data or information during data
communication over wir eless LAN.
