web site of your printer. This section gives you basic information on
802.11b/g network parameters which can be configured from the
SyncThru™ Web Service
.
You can configure basic wireless settings, such as SSID, Operation Mode
and WPA Shared Key. You can retrieve basic settings by selecting a
wireless network.

to a specific wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is
case-sensitive.
•
Operation Mode
: Operation Mode refers to the type of wireless

None
: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s
identity and data encryption are not required for your network. Open
system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
-
Static WEP
: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static
WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption,
decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication.
-
WPA Personal
: You can select WPA-PSK to authenticate the print
server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared secret
key (generally called Pre Shared Key passphrase) that is manually
configured on the access point and each of its clients. This is
suitable for users who want to use WPA but do not have a RADIUS
server installed on their network.
