Channel

Specifies the radio frequency channel that the print server
sensed and configured for communication on the network.
Because it was automatically sensed from the network, this
channel may differ from the user-configured channel (which
is only used for broadcasts if the specified network/SSID is
not found).

Channel number values 1 through14 may be displayed. The
allowed channels are country/region dependent.

Authentication Type

Identifies the authentication method configured on the
Jetdirect print server. It must match the method used on the
network to which the print server will connect.

Open System: Positive validation of a device’s identification
is not required for network access. Virtually any device is
allowed network access. There are no failure conditions for
this authentication method.

Shared Key: Each device on the network must be
configured with a shared secret WEP key to gain access to
the network. Authentication failures for the Jetdirect print
server may arise if the installed key is faulty, or the wrong
key is active (when multiple keys are configured and stored
on the print server).

EAP: (Infrastructure mode only) IEEE 802.1x Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) uses network authentication
servers for client access. HP Jetdirect EAP support includes
LEAP, PEAP, EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, and EAP-TTLS
authentication protocols. An authentication failure indicates
that the EAP authentication server has rejected the print
server’s authentication requests.

Encryption Type

Specifies the level of encryption configured on the Jetdirect
print server.

64-bit WEP: A user-specified static 40/64-bit WEP
encryption key has been configuredusing 5 alphanumeric
ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits.

128-bit WEP: A user-specified static 104/128-bit WEP
encryption key has been configured using 13 alphanumeric
ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits.

Dynamic (WEP/TKIP): Dynamic encryption is being used
with WEP, TKIP, or both.

None: Encryption keys have not been configured.
