For basic encryption, static WEP keys are configured on each device on the wireless network. WEP keys are considered static because they remain the same unless manually reconfigured. For example, on a typical infrastructure mode network that uses static WEP encryption, a change to the WEP key on an access point will require a manual change to the WEP key on each wireless device. For advanced encryption methods, dynamic encryption protocols are used. For dynamic encryption protocols, encryption keys are automatically changed at routine intervals making them difficult to decipher. Dynamic encryption protocols, such as dynamic WEP and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), are typically used on highly-secure networks that use authentication servers for network access. Note Wireless performance is reduced when using encryption keys due to the additional processing time required. For HP Jetdirect print servers in their factory-default state, encryption of wireless communications is disabled. However, the print servers support static WEP and popular dynamic encryption protocols. Up to four static WEP keys, for either 40/64-bit or 104/128-bit encryption, can be configured and stored on the print server. 1-10 Introduction

1-10 Introduction
For basic encryption, static WEP keys are configured on each device on the wireless
network.
WEP keys are considered
static
because they remain the same unless manually
reconfigured. For example, on a typical
infrastructure
mode network that uses static WEP
encryption, a change to the WEP key on an access point will require a manual change to
the WEP key on each wireless device.
For advanced encryption methods, dynamic encryption protocols are used. For dynamic
encryption protocols, encryption keys are automatically changed at routine intervals
making them difficult to decipher. Dynamic encryption protocols, such as dynamic WEP
and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), are typically used on highly-secure networks
that use authentication servers for network access.
Note
Wireless performance is reduced when using encryption keys due to the
additional processing time required.
For HP Jetdirect print servers in their factory-default state, encryption of wireless
communications is disabled. However, the print servers support static WEP and popular
dynamic encryption protocols. Up to four static WEP keys, for either 40/64-bit or
104/128-bit encryption, can be configured and stored on the print server.
