Auto – “Auto” is the default setting of the printer server. At this mode, the printer
server will automatically decide to enable or disable the wireless function. When
the printer server starts up, it will auto-detect if the LAN port is connected to an
active network by an Ethernet cable. If this is the case, the printer server will run
in Ethernet mode. If the printer server is not connected to an active network by
Ethernet cable, the printer server will run in wireless LAN mode.
Users can plug the Ethernet cable to the printer server at the first, after
configuring the printer server features and wireless settings; they can unplug
the Ethernet cable to enable the wireless connection. It makes the configuration
much easier without creating the wireless connection in advance.

Enable – Enable wireless function only, the printer server’s wireless LAN will be
always enabled and Ethernet will be always disabled.

Disable – Disable the wireless function, the printer server’s wireless LAN will be
always disabled and Ethernet will be always enabled.

PassPhrase – A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by
automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the printer server. This
setting is only valid when the security mode is in “WEP(HEX)”.


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“.


Auto – “Auto” is the default setting of the printer server. At this mode, the printer
server will automatically decide to enable or disable the wireless function. When
the printer server starts up, it will auto-detect if the LAN port is connected to an
102
active network by an Ethernet cable. If this is the case, the printer server will run
in Ethernet mode. If the printer server is not connected to an active network by
Ethernet cable, the printer server will run in wireless LAN mode.
Users can plug the Ethernet cable to the printer server at the first, after
configuring the printer server features and wireless settings; they can unplug
the Ethernet cable to enable the wireless connection. It makes the configuration
much easier without creating the wireless connection in advance.

Enable – Enable wireless function only, the printer server’s wireless LAN will be
always enabled and Ethernet will be always disabled.

Disable – Disable the wireless function, the printer server’s wireless LAN will be
always disabled and Ethernet will be always enabled.

W E P S e cu rit y M ode:

Key Length – You can choose “64-bit” to use WEP with 64-bit key length
encryption or choose “128-bit” to use WEP with 128-bit key length encryption.
The longer key length can provide better security but worse transmission
throughput.

Key Format – You may select to use ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format)
or Hexadecimal digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.

PassPhrase – A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by
automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the printer server.
105

Default Key – Select one of the four keys to encrypt your data. Only the key you
select it in the “Default key” will take effect.

Key 1 – Key 4 – The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted within the
wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below.
64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or
“Guest“.
128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or
10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. For example:
“01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator“.

106

TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every
10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP
security.

AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and
authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined
by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.

Pre-shared Key Format – Select “Passphrase” or “Hex” key format. If
“Passphrase” is selected, please enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the
key for the authentication within the network. If “Hex” is selected, please enter
64 digits of Hex code which should be “0-9” and “A-F”.

Pre-Shared Key – The “Pre-Shared Key” is different from the key format
selection. Please see above description.
