Appendix B
Authentication methodsOpen system
Wireless devices are allowed to 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 wireless printer uses a WEP key as the pre-determined key.
WPA-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless printer to associate with access points using TKIP or AES for WPA-PSK.
WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless printer to associate with access points using AES for WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother | |
wireless printer to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK, or AES for WPA-PSK and | |
WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal). | B |

Encryption methodsNone
No encryption method is used.
WEP
When 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 rekeying mechanism.
AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi®authorized strong encryption standard.
