encryption
The server uses an optional 40- or 128-bit
encryption key. While the computer and
access point are associated, data
transmissions can be encrypted using this
key. Only users with the correct key can
decrypt the data.
When encryption is in use, the access
point issues an encrypted challenge
packet to any device attempting to
associate with it. The device must use its
key to encrypt the correct response in
order to authenticate its transmissions and
gain network access.
SSID
SSID is a naming convention that
provides basic access control to the
network. Each wireless network is
assigned an SSID. This information is
required for any wireless computer to
associate with another computer or any
access point on the wireless network.
passphrase
A passphrase is a string of characters or
words that are used by a WEP algorithm
to generate the WEP key.
Note
Implementation of WEP algorithms
may vary from one vendor to another.
signal range
The range in which devices can
communicate with the print server
depends upon the environment in which
the print server is installed. Typical
usage in an office is up to a maximum of
100 feet (30 meters).
Note
Performance speed of the wireless
transmission reduces as the distance
between devices increases.
