SSID (Service Set Identifier) Static IP address Subnet mask Subnet Switch TCP/IP TKIP Unicast packet WEP key WEP A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) attached to the header of packets sent over a wireless LAN. An SSID provides basic access control to a wireless network. It can also be used to logically segment a wireless subgroup of users and devices. An SSID prevents access by any client device that does not have the SSID. By default, an access point broadcasts its SSID in its beacon. An SSID is also referred to as a Network Name because it is a name that identifies a wireless network. An IP address that is manually assigned to a device on a network. A static IP address remains fixed until changed manually. Alternative methods for assigning IP addresses are DHCP and AutoIP. A number that identifies the IP addresses that belong to a subnet. A small network that acts as part of a large network. It is recommended that the printer and the computers that use the printer all be on the same subnet. A network device that manages network traffic in order to minimize collisions and maximize speed. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the network communication protocol used on the Internet. The printer's built-in networking feature supports LANs that use TCP/IP. See WPA. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). A packet sent from one device on a network to another device on the network. A WEP key, or encryption key, is a sequence of alphanumeric characters or hexadecimal digits. After creating a WEP key, you must remember it or store it in a secure location. You may not be able to retrieve the WEP key if you lose it. A WEP key is either 64 or 128 bits long. The first 24 bits of the key are provided automatically. When creating the WEP key, the person creating the key provides the remaining bits (40 bits in the case of a 64-bit key, or 104 bits in the case of a 128-bit key). Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. WEP encodes the data sent across the network making the data unintelligible to unauthorized users. Only devices that share the same WEP settings as the printer will be able to communicate with the printer. WEP depends on encryption keys that are static and provides less security than WPA (TKIP).
