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.
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.
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 your 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 5-digit ASCII
character as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or “Guest“.
128-bit WEP: input 26-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-shared key Security Mode:
When “WPA-shared key”, also named “WPA-PSK” requires users to select
the advanced encryption methods, i.e. TKIP and enter a set of
shared key.
WPA Algorithms – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key
every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP
security.
