Authentication methods 3
The Brother machine supports the following methods:
Open system
Wireless devices are allowed access the network without any authentication.
Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network.
The Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi
®
Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother
wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK encryption (WPA-Personal).
Encryption methods 3
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent over the wireless network. The Brother machine supports
the following encryption methods:
None
No encryption method is used.
WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.
TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and re-
keying mechanism.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi
®
authorized strong encryption standard.
