Select the key currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key. - WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must be set for the same type on the router and on the scanner, or the scanner will not be able to communicate on the network. - 802.1X-RADIUS If you are installing the scanner on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following: • Authentication type • Inner authentication type • 802.1X user name and password • Certificates - No security If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security information. Note: We do not recommend using an unsecured wireless network. Notes: - If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless utility of the computer network adapter, and then look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person. - To find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key or passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation that came with the access point, see the Embedded Web Server associated with the access point, or consult your system support person.
