Encryption Methods for an Enterprise Wireless Network
An enterprise wireless network is a large network, for example using your machine in a business enterprise
wireless network, with IEEE 802.1x support. If you configure your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported
wireless network, you can use the following encryption methods.
• TKIP
• AES
• CKIP
The original key Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Gateway
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the
network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a
destination is located on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network
communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the
Gateway IP address, then contact your Network Administrator.
HTTP (Web Server)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to transmit the data between a web server and a web browser. The
Brother print server is equipped with a built-in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of
its configuration settings using a web browser.
HTTPS
HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS) is the version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that uses SSL/TLS so
that web content is transferred and displayed securely.
IEEE 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is a networking authentication standard used to connect to a wired or wireless LAN. It restricts
connections which are not authentic and only users authenticated by a central authority are allowed to be
connected.

Infrastructure Mode

The mode of operation in a wireless network, in which all devices (machines and computers) are connected via
an access point/router.
IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An
IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
