8 Configuration Overview
SECURITY FEATURES__________________
Open (no security)
This can be used, but is not recommended.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy, assuring wireless network security
equivalent to a wired network.
Set the same WEP key (64 or 128 bits) for all printers, computers
and access points on the wireless network.
WPA
WiFi Protected Access security, using TKIP encryption. This
security uses a pre-shared key set for all printers, computers and
access points in the wireless network. The key is periodically
changed.
EAP (Using Certificates)
Extensible Authentication Protocol security. In wireless
communications using EAP, connection to the wireless network is
requested through an access point, which in turn transmits the
certificate assigned to the computer and printer to an
authentication server such as RADIUS.
• EAP-TLS is used for authentication.
• Client and/or CA certificates must be imported into the
printer.
• Certificates must be obtained separately by the network
administrator before setting the printer for EAP.
Client Certificates
• This is the printer’s own certificate.
• The client must have a private key which corresponds to a
public key contained in the certificate.
• Required file format for imported certificates = [PKCS#12].
• Suitable file extensions include *.p12 and *.pfx.
CA Certificates
• The printer is not involved in the CA certificate chain.
