Table 4.3 Item 802.11 Configuration Parameters (2 of 4) Description Open System (No authentication) Select this authentication method if your wireless network does not require device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network may still use WEP encryption keys for data privacy. Shared Key (Requires a WEP key) Select this authentication method if each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption key (that is, a shared "password" value) for network access and communications. Each device on the network must use the same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys for encrypted network communications. If you select Shared Key authentication, you must configure one or more WEP keys. WPA-PSK Select Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) for advanced authentication. WPA-PSK is typically for small networks where authentication servers are not used. If WPA-PSK authentication is selected, you will need to enter a network pass-phrase that is used to generate the pre-shared key for your network. In addition, you will need to select dynamic encryption. Pass-phrase Enter a network pass-phrase that will be used to generate the pre-shared key for WPA-PSK authentication on your network. A pass-phrase must be from 8 to 63 ASCII characters in the hexadecimal range 21 through 7E (characters 0-9, a-z, A-Z and numerous special characters including Disabled (No encryption) Select Disabled if your wireless network does not use encryption keys for network access or communications. Dynamic (WPA-PSK authentication only) When configured for WPA-PSK authentication, the print server must use dynamic WPA encryption protocols. ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 113
