Full-featured print servers support the following EAP/802.1X method: ● PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP is a mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for network server authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Layer Security). Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications. The network infrastructure device that connects the print server to the network (such as an HP Procurve switch) must also support the EAP/802.1X method used. In conjunction with the authentication server, the infrastructure device can control the degree of network access and services available to the print server client. To configure the print server for EAP/802.1X authentication, you must access the embedded Web server through your Web browser. For more information, see Chapter 4. Wireless Print Server Authentication HP Jetdirect ew2400 wired/wireless external print servers do not support server-based authentication. They are intended for small-office networks where authentication servers are not typically used. However, for security on wireless networks, some form of client authentication is highly desired. The HP Jetdirect ew2400 supports the following wireless authentication methods: ● Shared Key. Authentication is based on a secret, common Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key that must be configured on each wireless device. A device that does not have the proper WEP key cannot access the network. Static WEP encyrption protocols are used for network communications. ● WPA-PSK. Authentication is based on Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standards through a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). When selecting WPA-PSK authentication, a user-specified pass-phrase must be entered to generate the pre-shared key. With WPA-PSK authentication, dynamic WPA encryption protocols are used for network communications to provide enhanced security. ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 11
