Table 4.3 Item 802.11B Configuration Parameters (2 of 7) Description Network Name Specifies the name of the wireless network to which the HP Jetdirect print server will connect. The Network Name is also called the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and identifies the ESS (Extended Service Set) that is normally associated with larger Infrastructure Mode networks. An empty (or "blank") SSID field is accepted, for example, on networks that rely on signal strength, encryption and authentication methods to control network access. The factory-default SSID configured on the HP Jetdirect print server is "hpsetup". To initially communicate with the print server, your wireless computer's SSID must also be "hpsetup". (Note: the SSID characters are case-sensitive. Be sure to use the appropriate lower- or uppercase characters.) Open System (No authentication) Select this authentication method if your wireless network does not require device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network may still use encryption keys for data privacy. Shared Key (Requires a WEP key) Select this authentication method if each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption key (that is, a shared "password" value) for network access and communications. Each device on the network must use the same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys for encrypted network communications. If you select Shared Key authentication, you must configure WEP keys. EAP/802.1x (Infrastructure mode only) Select 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for advanced authentication. EAP/802.1x is used with an authentication server, such as a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138) server, for wireless network access. If EAP/802.1x authentication is selected, you will need to configure additional parameters. Some parameters will depend on the EAP/802.1x protocols that you enable for use on your network.
