Home > Glossary Active Directory® Authentication Active Directory® Authentication restricts the use of the Brother machine. You cannot use your machine until you log on to the machine using a user ID and password. Ad-Hoc Mode The mode of operation in a wireless network, in which all devices (machines and computers) are connected without an access point/router. AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the Wi-Fi®-authorized strong encryption standard. APIPA If you do not assign an IP address manually or automatically (using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. ARP Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) performs mapping of an IP address to a MAC address in a TCP/IP network. Authentication 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. Authentication 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. • Open system Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication. • Shared key A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network. The Brother wireless machine uses the WEP key as the pre-determined key. • WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access® Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal). Authentication Methods for an Enterprise Wireless Network An enterprise wireless network is a large network, for example using your machine in a business enterprise wireless network, with IEEE 802.1x support. If you configure your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, you can use the following authentication methods. • LEAP • EAP-FAST 371
