HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server manual WEP Personal

Table 4-3Wireless configuration parameters (continued)

Item	Description
WEP — Personal	(Requires a WEP key.) Each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption
	key (a shared password value) for network access and communications. Each device on
	the network must use the same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11
	wired equivalent privacy (WEP) keys for encrypted network communications. If you select
	WEP encryption, you must configure one or more WEP keys. Provide the following if you
	select WEP:
	●	Authentication — Select Open System authentication if your wireless network
		does not require authentication for network access. (Your network might use WEP
		encryption keys for data security.) Select Shared Key authentication if your network
		requires that each device be configured with the same WEP key for network access.
		Choose Auto to automatically select open or shared.
	●	WEP Key — The WEP key format is programmatically determined and validated
		using either alphanumeric ASCII (8-bit) characters or hexadecimal (4-bit) digits.
	●	Key Index — Specify the WEP key index position (1, 2, 3, 4) that the print server
		uses for encrypted communications.
