HP Jetdirect Print Servers - Administrator Guide

ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 118
Static (WEP) Select Static (WEP) if your wireless network uses WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) keys for basic access control and data
privacy. Under the control of your network administrator, each
wireless device on the network must be configured with the
same key.
Encrypt transmit data using: Select the current active key.
The HP Jetdirect print server can store up to four WEP keys using
four key positions (Key 1, 2, 3, 4). But there can be only a single
active key for a given network (or SSID) at a time. Key 1 is the
default active key.
Note: When you enter WEP keys, be sure to enter them in the
key positions (or fields) that match other wireless devices on
your network. For example, if other devices on your wireless
network are using a WEP key in the Key 2 position as the active
key, then you must also enter this WEP key in the Key 2 field
on the Jetdirect print server and select Key 2 as the active key.
The different key positions will have different encryption and
decryption results.
The HP Jetdirect wireless print server supports WEP keys for
40/64-bit and 104/128-bit encryption. To enter one or more WEP
keys:
Input keys in: Select whether you’ll use alphanumeric characters
or hexadecimal digits to specify WEP keys.
Select Alphanumeric to enter your WEP keys using
alphanumeric ASCII (8-bit) characters. Alphanumeric characters
are limited to 0 through 9, a through z, A through Z. (Note:
Alphanumeric characters are case-sensitive.Entering lower- or
uppercase characters, 'a - z' or 'A - Z', will result in different WEP
key values.)
Select Hexadecimal to enter hexadecimal (4-bit) digits.
Hexadecimal digits may be 0 through 9, a through f, A through F.
(Note: Hexadecimal digits are not case-sensitive.Entering lower-
or uppercase values, 'a - f' or 'A - F', will result in the same WEP
key value.)
All keys entered must be of the same length, either for 40/64-bit
or 104/128-bit encryption. In each Key field, enter your 5
alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (40 bits) for
“64-bit” encryption, or 13 alphanumeric characters or 26
hexadecimal digits (104 bits) for “128-bit” encryption. (Note: In
both cases, 24 "Initialization Vector" bits are automatically added.)
