WLAN Security
Make sure that no unauthorized user logs on to the Wireless LAN
and that no one has access to the Internet or network resources.
Your print server offers several security mechanisms.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method according
to IEEE 802.11 on the basis of the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP
offers mechanisms for data encryption and authentication. WEP
uses a key to encrypt the entire communication. As for encrypted
access points, the same WEP key must be used for the access point
and the print server.
Some access points convert WEP keys that are entered as ASCII text
into arbitrary hexadecimal values. In this case, the WEP keys for the
access point and the print server do not match. It is therefore rec-
ommended to use hexadecimal WEP keys.
WEP is outdated and not secure. We recommend to use WPA/WPA2.
WPA/WPA2
In contrast to WEP, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) offers enhanced
mechanisms for exchanging keys. The exchange key is only used at
the beginning of a session. Afterwards a session key is used. The key
