S • Signal Strength The strength of the signal received by the printer from the wireless router is indicated with a value from 0 to 100%. • SSID Unique label for wireless LAN. It is often represented such as a network name or a wireless router name. SSID distinguishes one wireless LAN from another to prevent interference. The printer and all clients on a wireless LAN must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up of alphanumeric characters. The SSID may also be referred to by its network name. • Stealth In the stealth mode, a wireless router hides itself by not broadcasting its SSID. The client must specify the SSID set to the wireless router to detect it. • Subnet Mask IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. Subnet Mask used to calculate the Subnet Mask address from the IP address. A Subnet Mask is usually assigned by a wireless router or a DHCP server of the router automatically. Example: IP Address: 192.168.127.123 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask Address: 192.168.127.0 T • TCP/IP Suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet or the LAN. This protocol allows different terminals to communicate with each other. • TKIP An encryption protocol employed by WPA/WPA2. U • USB Serial interface designed to enable you to "hot-swap" devices, i.e., by plugging and unplugging them without turning off the power. W • WCN (Windows Connect Now) Users running Windows Vista or later can obtain the setting information directly via wireless network (WCN-NET). 355
