Adjust firewall settings of the computer
If you are using the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall or a personal firewall function provided
by virus scanning software, it may be necessary to adjust the security level setting. For details, see
below.
Note
Computer Firewall Functions
When using Windows XP’s “Internet Connection Firewall”
Enabling the Windows XP “Internet Connection Firewall” may prevent you from being able to
access your computer through wireless communication. (This function is inactive under Windows
XP default settings.) Because of this function, you may not be able to connect to your network
when you change your Wireless LAN Converter and/or Access Point settings. If this happens,
deactivate the “Internet Connection Firewall” function, connect to the network, and then
reactivate the function. For details, refer to Windows XP Help.
Note
Network security is an important issue. You are urged to consider carefully how best to protect your computer.
When using a personal firewall function provided by virus
scanning or network security software
Virus scanning and network security software sometimes includes a function called a “personal
firewall” that is designed to prevent illegal access by outside entities. Depending on the software,
the security level of this function may be initially set to a high level. If this high security level
setting is left in effect, it may be impossible for an outside entity to access your computer. This
can cause problems such as not being able to connect to the network when changing the Wireless
LAN Converter or Access Point’s settings. In this event, lower the security level in order to
permit the network connection. For details, refer to the manuals provided with your software.
Notes
Pay special attention to security issues.
For questions regarding firewall functions, please contact your firewall software manufacturer.

Notes
Always use two screws or nails and make sure that the unit is securely set on the wall.
Select a location that will hold the weight of the unit when mounting it on the wall. If the location cannot hold the weight
of the unit, it may drop and cause an accident.
When mounting the Wireless Unit on walls made of plasterboard or other fragile material, make sure that the material is
strong enough to support the unit’s weight and use special screw fasteners or other fixtures that are designed for use with
that material. If the unit is fastened with ordinary screws, there is a danger that it may fall.
