In the Ad- Hoc mode, yo u ca n le t the print se r ver
automa tically associate with other wire less sta tion o r
manually assig n the SS ID of yo ur wireless network . Yo u
can let the p rint ser ver a utoma tically select the c ha nne l
tha t is the sa me with the peer or ma nually assig n a c ha nne l.
If yo u select to le t the print ser ve r sca n for a n acti ve
wireless s tation, the fo llo wing wi ndow will pop up .
The list is the sca nned acti ve wire less s tations . Selec t a
wireless s tation in the list a nd click “ Ne xt”. If yo u ca nnot
find the wire less s tation that yo u want the pri nt ser ver to
communicate with, click “Scan” to le t the pri nt se r ver sca n
again.
Both “ Infrastr uc ture” a nd “Ad- Hoc” mode ha ve to go
throug h the followi ng proced ure :
52
This print ser ve r s uppor ts WEP a nd WPA-PSK security
mode. If yo u wa nt to use WEP enc r yption to protec t yo ur
wireless network , yo u ha ve to se lect “WEP(ASCII)” or
“WEP(HEX)”. If yo u want to use WPA-PSK, yo u ha ve to
select “WPA-shared ke y”. The wire less sec urity setti ng
sho uld be the same with other wire less de vices in the sa me
network.
WEP Security Mode :
53
You ca n se lect “64 bit” or “128 bit” le ngth a nd
“He xadecimal” or “ASCII” format fo r the e ncr yptio n ke y.
Longer ke y le ngth can pro vide stronge r sec urity but worth
communicatio n per forma nce.
Enter fo ur ke y va lues b y following the r ules below a nd
select o ne ke y as the defa ult ke y.
y PassPhrase – A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by
automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the print server.
This setting is only valid when the security mode is in “WEP(HEX)”.
y Key 1 to Key 4 – If the key length is 64-bit, enter 10-digit Hex values
or 5-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys. For example:
“0123456aef“ or “Guest“.
If the key length is 128-bit, enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII
values as the encryption keys. For example:
“01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator“.
WPA-shared ke y Sec urity Mode:
54
Whe n “WPA-shared ke y”, also named “WPA-PSK” req uires
users to se lect the ad va nced e ncr yp tion methods, i.e. TK IP
and e nte r a se t o f s hared ke y.
y TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal
key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the
standard WEP security.
y Shared Key – Enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for the
authentication within the network.
55
You ca n se lect to let the pri nt ser ver automa tically obtain
IP setti ngs with DHCP clie nt or manua lly assign the IP
settings .
If yo u ma nually assign the IP settings , yo u ha ve to e nte r IP
address, s ub net mask a nd defa ult gatewa y address.
Whe n yo u finis h co nfiguri ng the IP se ttings , c lick “ Ne xt” to
