SSID (Service Set Identifier)
A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) attached to the header of packets
sent over a wireless LAN. An SSID provides basic access control to a
wireless network. It can also be used to logically segment a wireless
subgroup of users and devices. An SSID prevents access by any client
device that does not have the SSID. By default, an access point broadcasts
its SSID in its beacon. An SSID is also referred to as a Network Name
because it is a name that identifies a wireless network.
Static IP address
An IP address that is manually assigned to a device on a network. A static IP
address remains fixed until changed manually. Alternative methods for
assigning IP addresses are DHCP and AutoIP.
Subnet mask
A number that identifies the IP addresses that belong to a subnet.
Subnet
A small network that acts as part of a large network. It is recommended that
the printer and the computers that use the printer all be on the same subnet.
Switch
A network device that manages network traffic in order to minimize collisions
and maximize speed.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the network
communication protocol used on the Internet. The printer's built-in
networking feature supports LANs that use TCP/IP.
TKIP
See WPA. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
Unicast packet
A packet sent from one device on a network to another device on the network.
WEP key
A WEP key, or encryption key, is a sequence of alphanumeric characters or
hexadecimal digits. After creating a WEP key, you must remember it or store
it in a secure location. You may not be able to retrieve the WEP key if you
lose it. A WEP key is either 64 or 128 bits long. The first 24 bits of the key
are provided automatically. When creating the WEP key, the person creating
the key provides the remaining bits (40 bits in the case of a 64-bit key, or
104 bits in the case of a 128-bit key).
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent
over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. WEP
encodes the data sent across the network making the data unintelligible to
unauthorized users. Only devices that share the same WEP settings as the
printer will be able to communicate with the printer. WEP depends on
encryption keys that are static and provides less security than WPA (TKIP).
