6.4.2.2 Encryption
This MFP Server supports WEP and WPA-PSK security mode. If you want to
use WEP encryption to protect your wireless network, you have to select
“WEP”. If you want to use WPA-PSK, you have to select “WPA-PSK” (for an
infrastructure network or “WPA-None” (enables WPA security for an ad hoc
network). The wireless security setting should match other wireless devices in
the same network.
WEP Security Mode:
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 MFP Server.
