Authentication
Active Directory
®
Authentication restricts the use of the Brother machine. You cannot use your machine until you
log on to the machine using a user ID and password.
Ad-Hoc Mode
The mode of operation in a wireless network, in which all devices (machines and computers) are connected
without an access point/router.
Address Book
Names and numbers you have stored for easy dialing.
Address Book List
A listing of names and numbers stored in the Address Book memory, in alphabetical order.
ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)
The document can be placed in the ADF and scanned one page at a time automatically.
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the Wi-Fi
®
-authorized strong encryption standard.
APIPA
If you do not assign an IP address manually or automatically (using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server), the
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
APOP
Authenticated Post Office Protocol (APOP) expands POP3 (the Internet receiving protocol) to include an
authentication method that encrypts the password when the client receives email.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) performs mapping of an IP address to a MAC address in a TCP/IP network.
Authentication
Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how
the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network).
If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless machine, it will not
be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore, care must be taken when configuring these options.
