HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server Signal Strength, Network Connection Type, Access Point / Bssid

Table 8-4802.11 Wireless settings (continued)

Message	Description
Signal Strength (1–5)	Strength of the radio signal received by the print server:
	Level 1(Poor)
	Levels 2 and 3 (Marginal)
	Level 4 (Good)
	Level 5 (Excellent)
	No Signal: Level 0 (No radio signal detected on any channel)
	<blank>: No radio signal detected while the print server is scanning.
	Not Applicable: Signal strength is not applicable when the print server is in ad hoc
	mode.
Network Connection Type	Specifies the type of network connection: Wireless or Wired.
Access Point / BSSID	Basic service set identifier (BSSID) is a 6-byte number that distinguishes one wireless
	LAN (WLAN) from another, even if they have the same network name (SSID).
	Infrastructure Mode: The MAC address or name of the access point to which the
	HP Jetdirect wireless print server is connected.
	Ad Hoc Mode: A random number or name generated by the initiator of the ad hoc
	network.
Channel	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
	can be different than the user-configured channel, which is only used for broadcasts if
	the specified network/SSID is not found.
	Channel number values 1 through14 might display. The allowed channels are country/
	region-dependent.
Authentication Type	Level of encryption configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.
	No Security (Open System): Positive validation of a device's identification is not
	required for network access unless the network requires EAP authentication. An
	authentication failure can indicate that an EAP authentication server has rejected
	network access.
	WEP: Each device on the network is configured with a shared secret WEP key which is
	required to gain access to the network. Authentication failures for the HP Jetdirect print
	server can 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: For enhanced security, Wi-Fi protected access using a pre-shared key is
	configured. The pre-shared key is generated by the print server through a user-specified
	network passphrase configured on the print server.
User Name	User identity.
CA Server ID	ID of the CA server.
SSL Certificate	Indicates whether the SSL certificate is Installed or Not Installed.
SSL Version	Version of the installed SSL protocol.
SSL Issuer	Entity issuing the CA certificate.
