The Brother machine supports the following methods:

„

Open system

Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.

„

Shared key

A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The
Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.

„

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables
the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES
for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).

„

LEAP

Cisco LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems,
Inc. and enables the Brother wireless product to associate with access points using CKIP
encryptions.

„

EAP-FAST

EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel)
has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and password for
authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.

The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:

• EAP-FAST/NONE

MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provisioning, and the method of EAP-FAST corresponding to
second phase authentication method.

• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2

Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses MS-CHAPv2 for inner method.

• EAP-FAST/GTC

Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses GTC for inner method.
