Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is a wireless network topology where all wireless communications go through an
access point. Infrastructure mode is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), and is sometimes referred to as
enterprise mode. On Apple networks, infrastructure mode is called Airport network mode. When set in
this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs from wireless network computers through an
access point.
Security type
Security is used to validate the identification of each device or computer that is attempting to access a
network. The security type used on a network is determined during network design and depends on the
network security requirements. Consequently, security methods are closely associated with encryption
options that are also used on the network.
HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support the following security types:
●
No security
. No encryption or authentication is used. Open system. Your wireless network does
not require device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network might
use WEP encryption keys for data privacy.
●
WEP-Personal
. Each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption key (a shared
password value) for network access and communication. Each device on the network must use the
same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11 WEP keys for encrypted network
communications.
●
WEP-Enterprise
. The network uses WEP with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security
utilizes a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. The
HP Jetdirect print server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP, PEAP, and
EAP-TLS.
●
WPA/WPA2–Personal
. Your network uses Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with a pre-shared
key that is typically generated by a pass-phrase. WPA encryption is normally used for wireless
communication and offers improved security.
●
WPA/WPA2–Enterprise
. Your network uses WPA with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type
of security utilizes a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the
network. The HP Jetdirect print server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP,
PEAP, and EAP-TLS.
For more information about these authentication protocols, see the

Service Set Identifiers (SSID)
An SSID is a logical name assigned to a wireless LAN. It is typically used to provide LAN access
control. For example, if the SSID for a wireless network is mycompany, then each wireless device on
the network must be configured with this SSID.
In infrastructure mode, the access point requires wireless devices to be configured with the appropriate
SSID before network access is allowed.
