HP Jetdirect 2700w Einrichtungsanleitung Seite 39

HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support configuration of up to four static WEP keys, for either 40/64-bit or
104/128-bit encryption.
● Dynamic encryption: For advanced encryption methods, dynamic encryption protocols are used. For dynamic
encryption protocols, encryption keys are automatically changed at routine intervals making them difficult to
decipher.
Dynamic encryption protocols, such as dynamic WEP and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2), provide a more
secure wireless environment.
When configured for WPA/WPA2–Personal authentication, HP Jetdirect print servers use WPA encryption.
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is a wireless network topology where all wireless communications go through an access point.
Infrastructure mode is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), and is sometimes referred to as enterprise mode. On
Apple networks, infrastructure mode is called Airport network mode. When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print
server receives print jobs from wireless network computers through an access point.
Peer-to-peer mode
Peer-to-peer mode is a wireless network topology where wireless devices communicate with each other directly.
An access point is not used. On Apple networks, this method is called computer-to-computer mode.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use infrastructure mode if you plan to use six or more devices.
When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs directly from wireless computers.
Security type
Security is used to validate the identification of each device or computer that is attempting to access a network.
The security type used on a network is determined during network design and depends on the network security
requirements. Consequently, security methods are closely associated with encryption options that are also used
on the network.
HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support the following security types:
● No security: No encryption or authentication is used. Open system. Your wireless network does not require
device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network might use WEP encryption
keys for data privacy.
● WEP-Personal: Each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption key (a shared password value)
for network access and communication. Each device on the network must use the same key. The HP Jetdirect
print server supports IEEE 802. 1 1 WEP keys for encrypted network communications.
●
WEP-Enterprise: The network uses WEP with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security utilizes a central
authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. The HP Jetdirect print server
supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP, PEAP, and EAP-TLS.
● WPA/WPA2–Personal: Your network uses Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with a pre-shared key that is typically
generated by a pass-phrase. WPA encryption is normally used for wireless communication and offers
improved security.
● WPA/WPA2–Enterprise: Your network uses WPA with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security utilizes a
central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. The HP Jetdirect print
server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP, PEAP, and EAPTLS.
