A device that has a proper WEP key can access the network. WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal: Select this option to authenticate the print server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared secret key (generally called Pre- Shared Key pass phrase) which is manually configured on the access point and each of its clients. • Encryption: Select the encryption (None, WEP64, WEP128, TKIP, AES, TKIP AES). • Network Key: Enter the encryption network key value. • Confirm Network Key: Confirm the encryption network key value. • WEP Key Index: If you are using WEP Encryption, select the appropriate WEP Key Index. The wireless network security window appears when the access point has security settings. The wireless network security window appears. The window may differ according to its security mode: WEP, or WPA. • WEP Select Open System or Shared Key for the authentication and enter the WEP security key. Click Next.
