Authentication Type:
•
Open System: This is the default value, which is most commonly used.
Shared Key: When chosen, Shared Key is the print server's only means of
•
authentication. First the Access Point sends an un-encrypted challenge
text string to any device attempting to communicate with it. The device
requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to
the Access Point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the Access
Point allows the requesting device to authenticate.
WPA-PSK: When WPA-PSK is selected, a Pre-shared Key must be entered
•
for authentication and encryption.
WPA2-PSK: When WPA2-PSK is selected, a Pre-shared Key must be
•
entered for authentication and encryption.
Encryption:
•
None (Open System): No encryption is used.
•
WEP-64bit (Open System or Shared Key): For 64-bit (sometimes called
40-bit) WEP encryption, enter the key which contains 5 alphanumeric
characters or 10 hexadecimal digits. For example: AbZ12 (alphanumeric
format) or ABCDEF1234 (hexadecimal format).
•
WEP-128bit (Open System or Shared Key): For 128-bit WEP encryption,
enter the key which contains 13 alphanumeric characters or 26
hexadecimal digits. Note: Depending on the number of characters you
enter, a number of zeros (0) will be added after your entry to reach 26
digits.
WEP Key: Enter your WEP key.
Pre-shared Key (Passphrase): The same Pre-shared Key (or Passphrase) as
defined in the Access Point must be entered. The characters are case-sensitive.
A strong PSK passphrase that uses a mixture of letters, numbers, and non-
alphanumeric characters is recommended.
WPA-PSK(TKIP): TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the certified
•
encryption algorithm for use with WPA and can be used with older devices.
WPA-PSK(CCMP): CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining
•
Message Authentication Code Protocol) is another type of encryption, and
is stronger than TKIP and requires that the router supports IPSec, long keys
and AES.
WPA2-PSK(TKIP): Also called 802.11i, it uses the concept of a Robust
•
Security Network and uses TKIP and CCMP (Counter Mode CBC MAC
Protocol), which provides for a stronger, scalable solution.
