A C D F I K L M O P R S T U W A Access Point A wireless transceiver or base station that receives information from wireless clients/the machine and rebroadcasts it. Required in an infrastructure network. Ad-hoc Client computer and machine setting where wireless communication occurs on a peer-topeer basis, i.e., all clients in with the same SSID/network name communicate directly with each other. No access point is required. This machine does not support ad-hoc communication. Admin Password Administration password to restrict access to network users. It must be entered to access the printer and change printer settings. AES An encryption method that is mandated by WPA2 but is optional for WPA. Strong cryptographic algorithm adopted within U.S. government organizations for information processing. ANY-rejection Feature of an access point to hide itself from and/or reject connection with clients whose SSID /network name is set to "ANY". Authentication Method The method that an access point uses to authenticate a printer before it communicates with a printer through a wireless LAN. For WPA/WPA2, authentication method is PSK. The method can be selected from Auto, Open System, or Shared Key. The same settings must be specified between the access point and the machine. Auto The printer automatically changes its authentication method to match the access point. Open System In this authentication method, the communication partner is authenticated without using WEP key even if "Use WEP" is selected.
