‐ Key Length – You can choose “64-bit” to use WEP with 64-bit key length encryption or choose “128-bit” to
use WEP with 128-bit key length encryption. The longer key length can provide better security but worse
transmission throughput.
‐ 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.
‐ Default Key – Select one of the four keys to encrypt the data. Only the key you select it in the “Default
key” will take effect.
‐ Key 1 – Key 4 – The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted within the wireless network. Fill the
text box by following the rules below.
‐ 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as
the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef” or “administrator”.
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.
‐ AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital
information and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless
network.
‐ 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” and “A-F”.
‐ Pre-Shared Key – The ‘Pre-Shared Key” is different from the key format selection. Please see above
description.
