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

 

40/64-bit and 104/128-bit encryption. To enter one or more WEP

 

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 (8-bit) characters. Alphanumeric characters

 

are limited to 0 through 9, a through z, A through Z. (Note:

 

Alphanumeric characters are case-sensitive.Entering lower- or

 

uppercase characters, 'a - z' or 'A - Z', will result in different WEP

 

key values.)

 

Select Hexadecimal to enter hexadecimal (4-bit) digits.

 

Hexadecimal digits may be 0 through 9, a through f, A through F.

 

(Note: Hexadecimal digits are not case-sensitive.Entering lower-

 

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 40/64-bit

 

or 104/128-bit encryption. In each Key field, enter your 5

 

alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (40 bits) for

 

“64-bit” encryption, or 13 alphanumeric characters or 26

 

hexadecimal digits (104 bits) for “128-bit” encryption. (Note: In

 

both cases, 24 "Initialization Vector" bits are automatically added.)
