Notes on Security when Using Wireless LAN
(Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy))
The advantage of using a wireless LAN over a LAN cable is that, because information
is exchanged using radio signals, you can easily connect to the network if you are
within range of the radio signals. A disadvantage of this is that within a certain
range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, so that if
security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the
following may occur.
• Communicated data can be intercepted
A third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions without
authorization, and they could obtain personal information from these
transmissions such as IDs, passwords, or credit card numbers, or they could
intercept the contents of personal e-mail messages.
• Unauthorized access to the network
A third party could access an individual or intra-company network
without permission and carry out any of the following activities.
- 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 (falsi cation)
- Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes
(damage)

concerning the security of the wireless LAN product and by using the product
are decreased, because the wireless LAN card and the access point have security
measures to deal with these problems. We recommend that you use this
product after making security settings using your own judgment and assuming
full responsibility, and with your full understanding of problems that may occur
if you do not make any security settings.
Epson shall not be responsible for any leakage of data or information during data
communication over wireless LAN.
