Security type
Security is used to validate the identification of each device or computer that is attempting to access a network. The security type used on a network is determined during network design and depends on the network security requirements. Consequently, security methods are closely associated with encryption options that are also used on the network.
HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support the following security types:
●No security. No encryption or authentication is used. Open system. Your wireless network does not require device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network might use WEP encryption keys for data privacy.
