Create and type an encryption password. The code you create must be
32 characters or less. The code is case-sensitive. Enter the same code
for all the peer PCs in the network.
For more information describing the encryption password, see What
are Wireless II adapter and operating system settings? on page 6.
If you are not concerned with security of your transmitted data, check
the
Disable Data Encryption box. This will slightly increase the
performance of any data transfer between PCs. Unchecking the box
will slightly decrease the performance, but will increase security. We
recommend leaving the box unchecked. Click
Next. The Finished
screen appears.
9 Click Finish. Your profile will be added to the existing Profile
Manager
tab of the AnyPoint Connection Manager.
If you want to activate the profile immediately, go to the AnyPoint
profile Manager tab, select the profile you created and click Activate. If
you want to connect later, refer to Activate a profile on page 40.
Important: Data Encryption is the method that the wireless
communications industry uses to ensure secure transmission of
your data. It is an 802.11b standard.
