How to set a WEP/WPA/WPA2 key
z
When using WEP
The key length, key format, the key to use (out of 1 to 4), and the
authentication method must match among the access point, the machine,
and the computer.
For access points that use auto-generated WEP keys, use the hexadecimal
key format for the machine.
For information on how to confirm the WEP key, refer to your access point’s
instruction manuals or contact its manufacturer.
Example:
Using 64 bit key length, when the string “canon” is entered, an access
point generates the following codes.
Key 1: C9 42 28 B8 AE
Key 2: 87 C0 FB 05 6B
Key 3: 9A 15 FB F6 F3
Key 4: 62 56 67 58 44
In order to communicate with such an access point, you must configure the
machine to use the key generated by the access point by entering it in
hexadecimal format.
Normally, select
Auto
for
Authentication
. Otherwise, select
Open System
or
Shared Key
according to the setting of the access point.
When entering a
WEP key
in
Network Key
or
Network Password
on the
Access Points
screen, the key number is set to 1 and the
Authentication
is
set to
Auto
. The key length and format are based upon value of the entered
key.
Note
When using AirPort, confirm the settings in
Wireless Security
on the AirPort
Admin Utility.
z
If
40 bit WEP
is set, select
64bit
in Key Length.
z
Select
1
in
Key ID
. Otherwise the computer will not be able to communicate
with the machine over wireless LAN.
z
When using WPA or WPA2
The authentication method, passphrase, and dynamic encryption type must
match among the access point, the machine, and the computer.
Enter the passphrase configured on the access point (a sequence of
between 8 and 63 alphanumeric characters, or a 64-character hexadecimal
number). For information on how to confirm the passphrase, refer to your
access point’s instruction manuals or contact its manufacturer. Select either
TKIP (Basic Encryption)
or
AES (Secure Encryption)
for the dynamic
encryption method.
Note
This machine supports WPA-PSK (WPA-Personal) and WPA2-PSK (WPA2-
Personal). WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are not supported.
