PEAP
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is a version of EAP method developed by Cisco Systems,
®
Inc., Microsoft
Corporation and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/
Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel between a client and an authentication server, for sending a user ID and
password. PEAP provides mutual authentication between the server and the client.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
•
PEAP/MS-CHAPv2
•
PEAP/GTC
Peer-to-Peer
Peer-to-Peer is a type of printing in a peer-to-peer environment. In a peer-to-peer environment, each computer
sends and receives data directly to and from each device. There is no central server controlling access or
machine sharing.
Photo resolution (Mono only)
A resolution setting that uses varying shades of grey for the best representation of photographs.
Protocols
Protocols are the standardised sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain
access to network-connected resources. The print server used on your Brother machine supports the
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol.
Public Key Cryptosystem
A Public Key Cryptosystem is a modern branch of cryptography in which the algorithms employ a pair of keys (a
public key and a private key) and use a different component of the pair for different steps of the algorithm.
Pulse
This feature is not available in some countries.
A form of rotary dialling on a telephone line.
RARP
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) finds the logical address for a machine that knows only its physical
address.
To use RARP, contact your network administrator.
Real Time Transmission
When memory is full, you can send faxes in real time.
