Channels

There are several channels specified in the 802.11b/g standard for wireless communications. The number of available channels authorized for use may be restricted based on your location (generally regulatory domain). See Appendix for available channels at your location. When shipped from the factory, the Wireless Network Printer Card is configured for Ad-hoc mode using the automatic channel selection. In most cases, manual configuration of the channel is not required. If the print server discovers a wireless network that has the same SSID and operation mode when turned on, it will automatically adjust the channel to match that network.

IEEE 802.11 authentication

IEEE 802.11 authentication is a process of identifying an individual who is attempting to access a wireless LAN or an access point. The IEEE 802.11 standard defines two types of authentication services:

Open System: Authentication is not used, and encryption may or may not be used, depending on the need for data security.

Shared Key: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper WEP key can access the network. The Network Printer supports both authentication methods.

WEP encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network. Wireless LANs, which communicate over radio waves, do not have a physical structure that can be protected from unauthorized access and therefore are vulnerable to tampering. WEP is designed to provide a wireless LAN with a security level equal to that found on a wired network. WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on a wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.

Sometimes, 64-bit WEP is called 40-bit and 128-bit is called 104-bit. 40-bit and 64-bit encryption are really the same thing, as are 104-bit and 128-bit encryption, because an additional 24 initialization vector (IV) bits are automatically added to make a total of 64 bits and 128 bits. To encrypt data, the Wireless Network Printer uses four encryption keys. You must select a key and enter the key value. The key value must be the same as the other wireless devices or that of the access point of your wireless network. In 64-bit mode,
