Description

 

 

 

Channel

 

Specifies the radio frequency channel that the print server

 

 

sensed and configured for communication on the network.

 

 

Because it was automatically sensed from the network, this

 

 

channel may differ from the user-configured channel (which

 

 

is only used for broadcasts if the specified network/SSID is

 

 

not found).

 

 

Channel number values 1 through14 may be displayed. The

 

 

allowed channels are country/region-dependent.

 

 

Authentication Type

Identifies the authentication method configured on the

 

 

Jetdirect print server. It must match the method used on the

 

 

network to which the print server will connect.

 

 

Open System: Positive validation of a device’s identification

 

 

is not required for network access unless the network

 

 

requires EAP authentication. An authentication failure may

 

 

indicate that an EAP authentication server has rejected

 

 

network access.

 

 

Shared Key: Each device on the network must be configured

 

 

with a shared secret WEP key to gain access to the network.

 

 

Authentication failures for the Jetdirect print server may

 

 

arise if the installed key is faulty, or the wrong key is active

 

 

(when multiple keys are configured and stored on the print

 

 

server).

 

 

WPA-PSK: For enhanced security, Wi-Fi Protected Access

 

 

using a Pre-shared key is configured, typically when the use

 

 

of an authentication server is not supported. The

 

 

Pre-shared key is generated by the print server through a

 

 

user-specified network pass-phrase configured on the print

 

 

server.

 

 

Encryption Type

Specifies the level of encryption configured on the Jetdirect

 

 

print server.

 

 

64-bit WEP: A user-specified static 40/64-bit WEP

 

 

encryption key has been configured using 5 alphanumeric

 

 

ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits.

 

 

128-bit WEP: A user-specified static 104/128-bit WEP

 

 

encryption key has been configured using 13 alphanumeric

 

 

ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits.

 

 

Dynamic: WPA dynamic encryption protocols are being

 

 

used.

 

 

None: Encryption keys have not been configured.
