Page 129: Encryption
8.4.2.2 Encryption This print server supports WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2- PSK security mode. If you want to use WEP encryption to protect your wireless network, you have to select “WEP”. If you want to use WPA-PSK, you have to select “WPA-PSK”. If you want to use WPA2-PSK, you have to select ‘’WPA2- PSK’’.
Page 130 Key Format – You may select to use ASCII Characters  (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key. PassPhrase – A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption  process by automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the print server.
Page 131 WPA-PSK Security Mode: “WPA-PSK” requires users to select one of the advanced encryption methods, i.e. TKIP or AES and enter a set of shared key. TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the  temporal key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security.
Page 132 network. If “Hex” is selected, please enter 64 digits of Hex code which should be “0-9” and “A-F”. Pre-Shared Key – The “Pre-Shared Key” is different from the  key format selection. Please see above description. WPA2-PSK Security Mode: “WPA2-PSK” requires users to enter shared key with AES algorithms only.
Page 133 Pre-shared Key Format – Select “Passphrase” or “Hex” key  format. If “Passphrase” is selected, please enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for the authentication within the network. If “Hex” is selected, please enter 64 digits of Hex code which should be “0-9”...
