Home > Glossary DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that is used to configure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP Network. To use DHCP, contact your network administrator. DNS Client The Brother print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client feature. This feature allows the print server to communicate with other devices using its DNS name. DNS Server The Domain Name System (DNS) is a technology to manage the names of web sites and internet domains. A DNS server allows your computer to find its IP address automatically. Driver Deployment Wizard Brother's Installation CD-ROM includes the Windows® printer driver and Brother network port driver (LPR and NetBIOS). If an administrator installs the printer driver and port driver using this application, the administrator can save the file to the file server or send the file by email to users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the printer driver, port driver, IP address, etc. automatically copied to their computer. Encryption Most wireless networks use some kind of security settings. These security settings define the authentication (how the device identifies itself to the network) and encryption (how the data is encrypted as it is sent on the network). If you do not correctly specify these options when you are configuring your Brother wireless machine, it will not be able to connect to the wireless network. Therefore, care must be taken when configuring these options. Encryption Methods for a Personal Wireless Network A personal wireless network is a small network (such as a home wireless network) without IEEE 802.1x support. • None No encryption method is used. • WEP When using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) the data is transmitted and received with a secured key. • TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and rekeying mechanism. • AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection using a symmetric-key encryption. • IEEE 802.11n does not support either WEP or TKIP as an encryption method. • To connect to your wireless network using IEEE 802.11n, we recommend selecting AES. 374
