Wireless network setup_ 29
• Operation Mode: Select Infrastructure.
• Authentication: Select an authentication type.
Open System: Authentication is not used, and encryption
may or may not be used, depending on the need for data
security.
Shared Key: Authentication is used. A device that has a
proper WEP key can access the network.
WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal: Select this option to
authenticate the print server based on WPA Pre-Shared
Key. This uses a shared secret key (generally called Pre-
Shared Key pass phrase) which is manually configured on
the access point and each of its clients.
• Encryption: Select the encryption (None, WEP64,
WEP128, TKIP, AES, TKIP AES).
• Network Key: Enter the encryption network key value.
• Confirm Network Key: Confirm the encryption network
key value.
• WEP Key Index: If you are using WEP Encryption, select
the appropriate WEP Key Index.
The wireless network security window appears when the
access point has security setting.
The wireless network security window appears. The window
may differ according to its security mode, WEP, or WPA.
• In case of WEP
Select Open System or Shared Key for the authentication
and enter WEP security key. Click on Next.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol
preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged
on a wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP
encryption key.
• In case of WPA
Enter the WPA shared key and click on Next.
WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key
that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA also
uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption.
8. The window shows the wireless network settings and check if the
settings are right. Click on Next.
• For the DHCP method
If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if DHCP is
shown in the window. However, if it shows Static, click on
Change TCP/IP to change the assignment method to DHCP.
• For the Static method
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if Static is
shown in the window. However, if it shows DHCP, click on
Change TCP/IP to enter the IP address and other network
configuration values for the machine. Before entering the IP
address for the machine, you must know the computer’s network
configuration information. If the computer is set to DHCP, you
must contact the network administrator to get the static IP
address.
For example:
If computer’s network information is as shown below:
- IP address: 169.254.133.42
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
- Gateway: 169.254.133.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as below:
- IP address: 169.254.133. 43
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet
mask.)
- Gateway: 169.254.133.1
