Definitions of Terms Used in this Manual The following terms are used in this manual. ❏ Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) is a network that wirelessly communicates data.
This term is the same as the term "Infrastructure mode" that communicates data through a relay point (for example, an access point) when connecting printers and computers. ❏ Ethernet (Wired LAN) An Ethernet is a network that communicates data using an Ethernet cable. This is also known as a "Wired LAN", but in this manual we will use "Ethernet". ❏ Access Point This relays communication between Wi-Fi devices. We also use the term “access point” for a wireless router that has a relay function. Many wireless routers have a LAN port to allow wired LAN connections. These can also be used as a hub for wired LAN connections.

This term includes smart phones and tablets. ❏ Password This is an encryption key used in the security for the access point. A password may also be called a “WEP key”, a “WPA passphrase”, a “Pre-Shared Key”, and so on according to the access point or security system being used. We use “Password” in this manual. 6
