HP Deskjet 6800 series printer User's Guide b BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is an Internet protocol that enables a device to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine. This enables the device to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. Broadcast packet: A packet sent from one device on a network to all devices on the network. c Channel: One of several pre-set frequencies at which 802.11b-enabled devices communicate in order to reduce interference. The number of channels available varies by country/region. d DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): A protocol used to automatically assign an IP address to each device on a network. e EAP: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a general protocol for authentication that also supports multiple authentication methods, such as token cards, one-time passwords, certificates, and public key authentication. WPA uses EAP. Encryption: A network security that encodes the data sent across a wireless network making the data unintelligible to eavesdroppers. The printer supports WEP, TKIP, and AES. Encryption keys: A sequence of characters or digits that a wireless device uses to encode data. Encryption keys can be static (as they are in WEP) or dynamic (as they are in WPA). Ethernet: A popular form of wired computer networking for Local Area Networks. Ethernet cable: There are two types of Ethernet cables. A straight-through cable is the most common and is used to connect devices on a network to a hub or router. A crossover cable is used to connect two devices that have Ethernet ports but that are not hubs or routers. Use a CAT-5 cable with an RJ-45 plug to connect the printer to an Ethernet network. f Firewall: A combination of hardware and software tools that protects a network from unwanted entry. 44
