Wireless print server authentication
HP Jetdirect wired/wireless print servers support several wireless authentication methods, which include the following:
| ●
|
| WEP Authentication is based on a secret, common wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key that must be configured on each wireless device. A device that does not have the proper WEP key cannot use the network. Static WEP encryption protocols are used for network communications.
|
|
| ●
|
| WPA/WPA2–Personal Uses wi-fi protected access (WPA) standards through a pre-shared key. A user-specified passphrase must be entered to generate the pre-shared key. Dynamic WPA encryption protocols are used for network communications to provide enhanced security.
|
|
| ●
|
| WPA/WPA2–Enterprise Requires 802.1X credentials to use the wireless network. A dedicated server verifies the identity of the user or device that is requesting network use. There are several available protocols.
