Wireless network terms and concepts

Authentication and Encryption methods for a personal wireless network 3

Personal wireless network is a small network, for example using your machine in a wireless network at home,

without IEEE 802.1x support.

If you want to use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Authentication and

Encryption methods for an enterprise wireless network on page 13.

Authentication methods 3

 Open system

Wireless devices are allowed to access the network without any authentication.

 Shared key

A secret pre-determined key is shared by all devices that will access the wireless network.

The Brother wireless machine uses the WEP key as the pre-determined key.

 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother

wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and

WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).

Encryption methods 3

 None

No encryption method is used.

 WEP

By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the data is transmitted and received with a secure key.

 TKIP

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing a message integrity check and

rekeying mechanism.

 AES

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the Wi-Fi

authorized strong encryption standard.
