Glossary Network terms and concepts 4 Network terms 4  WPA2-PSK Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access® Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK, or AES for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal). 4  AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection by using a symmetric-key encryption and is the Wi-Fi® authorized strong encryption standard.  WPA2 with AES Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is eight or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.  SSID Each wireless network has its own unique network name that is referred to as the Service Set Identification (SSID). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point. The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as beacons) which have the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify and connect to nearby wireless networks. 19
