◦Input key in: Select the format for the WEP key.

◦WEP Key: The WEP key format is programmatically determined and validated by using either alphanumeric ASCII (8-bit) characters or hexadecimal (4-bit) digits.

◦Index: Select the WEP key index position (1, 2, 3, or 4) the print server uses for encrypted communications from the list.

●WEP-Enterprise: Select this option if the network uses WEP with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security uses a central authentication server, such as Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), to authenticate users on the network. If you select this option, specify the following settings to configure the authentication:

◦Enabled protocols: Select one or more of the following server-based authentication protocols:

LEAP: Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. A proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems that uses passwords for mutual authentication. During mutual authentication, the client and server authenticate each other.

PEAP (configure certificate using EWS first): Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. A mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server authentication and uses passwords for client authentication.

EAP-TLS (configure certificate using EWS first): EAP using Transport Level Security. A mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server authentication and uses passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated in TLS.

◦Encryption strength: Select the minimum encryption strength to use during communications with the authentication server. For each encryption strength, ciphers are specified to identify the weakest cipher allowed.

3.WiFi Protected Access (WPA):

●WPA Version: Select the WPA version.

●Encryption: Select the encryption method.

●WPA-Personal: Enter the security key that is used to generate the preshared key for authentication on the network. The security key must be entered in one of the following formats:

◦A passphrase that is 8 to 63 characters and consists of 0 through 9, a through z, A through Z, and numerous special characters that include the following:

! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) _ + = − { } [ ] \ / “ < > ? “ ‘ ˜

◦A security key that is 64 hexadecimal characters (0 through 9, and A through F).

●WPA-Enterprise: Select this option if the network uses WPA with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security uses a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. Specify the following settings:

◦Enabled protocols: Select one or more of the following server-based authentication protocols:

LEAP: Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. A proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems that uses passwords for mutual authentication. During mutual authentication, the client and server authenticate each other.
