Parameter	Description
Authentication	Type of authentication in use:
type	• None: No authentication in use.
	• Open System (ad hoc and infrastructure): No authentication
	• Shared Key: WEP key is required.
	• WPA-PSK(infrastructure only): WPA with Pre-Shared Key.
	• Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.
	Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device before granting access
	to the network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access
	network resources. This security method is common on wireless networks.
	A network using Open System authentication does not screen network users
	based on their identities. Any wireless user can have access from the network.
	However, such a network might use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
	encryption to provide a first level of security against casual eavesdroppers.
	A network using Shared Key authentication provides increased security by
	requiring users or devices to identify themselves with a static key (a
	hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or device on the network
	shares the same key. WEP encryption is used along with shared key
	authentication, using the same key for both authentication and encryption.
	A network using server-based (WPA-PSK) authentication provides
	significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless access
	points and wireless routers. The access point or router verifies the identity of
	a user or device requesting access to the network before granting that access.
	Several different authentication protocols might be used on an authentication
	server.
Encryption	The type of encryption in use on the network:
	• None: No encryption is in use.
	• 64-bit WEP: A 5-character or 10-hex-digit WEP key is in use.
	• 128-bit WEP: A 13-character or 26-hex-digit WEP key is in use.
	• WPA-AES: Advanced Encryption Standard encryption is in use. This is
	an encryption algorithm for securing sensitive but unclassified material
	by US Government agencies.
	• WPA-TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, an advanced encryption
	protocol, is in use.
	• Automatic: AES or TKIP is in use.
	• Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.
	WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it
	is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. This security
	method is common on wireless networks.
Access Point HW	The hardware address of the wireless router or access point on the network
Address	to which the HP All-in-One is connected:
	• (MAC address): The unique MAC (Media Access Control) hardware
	address of the access point.
	• Not applicable: This parameter does not apply to this network type.
Total Packets	The number of packets transmitted by the HP All-in-One without error since
transmitted	it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-in-One is turned
	off. When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it is
	broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination address as well
	as the data.
