Table 4.3 802.11 Configuration Parameters (3 of 4)
Item | Description |
|
|
Static (WEP) | Select Static (WEP) if your wireless network uses WEP (Wired |
| Equivalent Privacy) keys for basic access control and data |
| privacy. Under the control of your network administrator, each |
| wireless device on the network must be configured with the |
| same key. |
| Encrypt transmit data using: Select the current active key. |
| The HP Jetdirect print server can store up to four WEP keys using |
| four key positions (Key 1, 2, 3, 4). But there can be only a single |
| active key for a given network (or SSID) at a time. Key 1 is the |
| default active key. |
| Note: When you enter WEP keys, be sure to enter them in the |
| key positions (or fields) that match other wireless devices on |
| your network. For example, if other devices on your wireless |
| network are using a WEP key in the Key 2 position as the active |
| key, then you must also enter this WEP key in the Key 2 field |
| on the Jetdirect print server and select Key 2 as the active key. |
| The different key positions will have different encryption and |
| decryption results. |
| The HP Jetdirect wireless print server supports WEP keys for |
| |
| keys: |
| Input keys in: Select whether you’ll use alphanumeric characters |
| or hexadecimal digits to specify WEP keys. |
| Select Alphanumeric to enter your WEP keys using |
| alphanumeric ASCII |
| are limited to 0 through 9, a through z, A through Z. (Note: |
| Alphanumeric characters are |
| uppercase characters, 'a - z' or 'A - Z', will result in different WEP |
| key values.) |
| Select Hexadecimal to enter hexadecimal |
| Hexadecimal digits may be 0 through 9, a through f, A through F. |
| (Note: Hexadecimal digits are not |
| or uppercase values, 'a - f' or 'A - F', will result in the same WEP |
| key value.) |
| All keys entered must be of the same length, either for |
| or |
| alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (40 bits) for |
| |
| hexadecimal digits (104 bits) for |
| both cases, 24 "Initialization Vector" bits are automatically added.) |
