Disabling Wireless Data Encryption
Print, fax and scanned files travelling in the air can be protected if you enable
wireless data encryption. If you disable this encryption, the only benefit is wireless
data will travel faster between your computers and your Print Server. If you wish to
disable data encryption, click the
Disable
button.
WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard
and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data
travelling between your Printer Server and the connected wireless router or access
point.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of
characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of
encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption
requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string
in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard
Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format
is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is
converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you
can change keys easily.
Do as follows to set up WEP encryption:
1. Click
WEP Encryption
.
2. For the encryption key length, select
64bits
or
128bits
in the
Length
field.
3. For the encryption key string, select the format by clicking
ASCII
or
HEX
in the
