In the Select Network Name screen, do one of the following: - Enter a new SSID entry. If you choose to enter the wireless Network Name (SSID), also select the Communication Mode (Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure). - Select an existing network name from the list.

The above-mentioned encryption methods must be entered through the embedded Web server. For more information, see wireless network setup on page 141. In dynamic encryption, each device has a different key and all keys change frequently. Dynamic encryption is much harder for an intruder to circumvent, since the keys are likely to change before the intruder can reverse engineer them. 208 hp psc 2500 series
