PSK

(Pre-Shared Key)

Authentication mode of WPA used in SOHO environments. 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

Microsoft® IAS, etc.

Dial-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

address. The device knows its MAC address and the server

Protocol

responds with the IP address for it.

Relative

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

Pathname

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 string to

Authentication

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 devices

Transmit Rate

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.

SSID or

A unique identifier that must match for all nodes on a

Service Set

subnetwork to communicate with each other. It consists of up

Identifier

to 32 characters (any printable character, including spaces). If

 

using the space character, it must be enclosed in quotation

 

marks. It is case-sensitive.
