Example: IP Address: 192.168.127.123 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask Address: 192.168.127.0 T TCP/IP Suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. This protocol allows different terminals to communicate with each other. TKIP An encryption method employed by WPA/WPA2. Uses encryption and changes cryptographic keys automatically at fixed intervals. U USB Serial interface designed to enable you to "hot-swap" devices, i.e., by plugging and unplugging them without turning off the power. W WCN (Windows Connect Now) Users running Windows Vista can easily create network configuration settings and transmit them to the access point using the USB flash memory. WEP Transmission is encrypted using a WEP key you specified. WEP Key Shared security key used to encrypt and decrypt data sent over wireless networks. This printer supports key length of 64 bits or 128 bits, key format of ASCII code or Hexadecimal, and key number of 1 to 4. Wi-Fi International association that certifies interoperability of wireless LAN products based on the IEEE 802.11 specification. This machine is a Wi-Fi authorized product. Wireless LAN A network that, instead of being connected by physical wires, is connected by a wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi. WPA Security framework announced by the Wi-Fi Alliance in October 2002. Enables cryptographic keys to be changed automatically at fixed intervals, and access points to perform user authentication. Authentication WPA defines the following authentication methods: PSK that can be used without an authentication server, plus WPA-802.1x that do require an authentication server. This machine supports WPA-PSK. Passphrase This encrypted key is used to perform WPA-PSK authentication. The passphrase should be a string of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or a 64-digit hexadecimal value. WPA2
