PSK

Authentication mode of WPA used in SOHO environments.

(Pre-Shared Key)

The key value (or pass-phrase) is used for network

 

authentication only (not data encryption). It does not use a

 

RADIUS server like the other modes, but uses a shared key

 

to provide the initial authentication with the access point or

 

host.

RADIUS (Remote

This is an authentication server, such as the Cisco® ACS,

Authentication Dial-

Microsoft® IAS, etc.

In Server)

 

RARP or

One of the available boot methods. The device sends an

Reverse Address

RARP request and the RARP server responds with an IP

Resolution Protocol

address. The device knows its MAC address and the

 

server responds with the IP address for it.

Relative

The file or directory location on the user’s system relative

Pathname

to the user’s current location on the system (what directory

 

the user is currently in). For example, mpcl

 

toolbox\9855.phu

Router

Any device that forwards data along networks. Routers are

 

located at gateways.

Shared

The access point sends an unencrypted challenge text

Authentication

string to any device attempting to communicate with it. The

 

device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge

 

text and sends it back to the access point. If the challenge

 

text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows the

 

requesting device to authenticate. Both the unencrypted

 

challenge and the encrypted challenge can be monitored;

 

however, this leaves the access point open to attack.

 

Because of this weakness, shared key authentication can

 

be less secure than open authentication.

Signal Strength

A percentage (1 to 100) of the connection between the

 

device and access point. If the signal strength is 0, there

 

is no connection with the access point; 30 or less indicates

 

you may be experiencing interference or close to being out

 

of access point range, and below 50, printing performance

 

could be affected. To improve the signal strength, try

 

moving the printer closer to the access point and away

 

from other radio devices such as Bluetooth® wireless

 

devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4-GHz cordless phones.

Speed or

Sets the maximum rate of communication between the

Transmit Rate

devices on the network. It is also called transmit rate. The

 

speeds are in megabits per second (Mbps) and include: 1,

 

2, 5.5, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54.
