HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server manual WEP Enterprise

Table 4-3Wireless configuration parameters (continued)

Item	Description
WEP — Enterprise	Select WEP — Enterprise security if your network uses WEP with EAP/802.1x
	authentication. This type of security utilizes a central authentication server, such as
	RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. For WEP — Enterprise, the HP Jetdirect
	print server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP PEAP EAP-TLS.
	Provide the following if you select WEP — Enterprise:
	● Enabled Protocols: Select LEAP, PEAP, or EAP-TLS. LEAP (Lightweight Extensible
	Authentication Protocol) is a proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems that uses
	passwords for mutual authentication (the client and the server authenticate each
	other). PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a mutual authentication
	protocol that uses digital certificates for server authentication and passwords for
	client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are
	encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security). EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport
	Level Security) is a mutual authentication protocol based on digital certificates.
	● User Name: Enter an EAP/802.1X user name, which cannot exceed 128
	characters, for this device. The default user name is the default host name of the print
	server, NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the LAN hardware (MAC)
	address.
	● Password and Confirm Password: Enter an EAP/802.1X user password (up to
	128 characters) for this device and then confirm the password by entering it again.
	● Server ID: Specify the Server ID validation string identifying and validating the
	authentication server. This string is specified on the digital certificate issued by a
	trusted Certificate Authority (CA) for the authentication server. The entry can be a
	partial string unless you select Require Exact Match.
	● Encryption Strength: Specify the minimum encryption strength to use during
	communications with the authentication server. You can select Low, Medium, or High
	encryption strength. For each encryption strength, ciphers are specified to identify
	the weakest cipher allowed.
	● Jetdirect Certificate: A self-signed HP Jetdirect certificate is preinstalled and used
	to validate the identity of the HP Jetdirect device to clients and to network
	authentication servers. This allows the HP Embedded Web Server to use HTTPS and
	appear as a secure site when accessed by a Web browser. Click Configure to
	update the certificate or install a new one.
	● CA Certificate: To validate the authentication server's identity, a CA (or Root)
	certificate must be installed on the print server. This CA certificate must be issued by
	the Certificate Authority who signed the authentication server's certificate. Click
	Configure to configure or install a CA certificate.

WPA (WiFi Protected Access) Your network uses WPA. Choose WPA – Personal, which uses a pre-shared key typically generated by a passphrase. Or, select WPA – Enterprise which is commonly used in enterprise-level networks. A dedicated server verifies the identity of a user or device requesting access to the network before granting that access.

Select the WPA Version (Auto, WPA, or WPA-2), and then select the Encryption, using Auto, advanced encryption standard (AES), or temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP).
