If you want to use WPA-PSK, you have to select “WPA-shared key”. The wireless security setting should be the same with other wireless devices in the same network.

WEP Security Mode:

You can select “64 bit” or “128 bit” length and “WEP(HEX)” or “WEP(ASCII)” format for the encryption key. Longer key length can provide stronger security but worth communication performance.

Enter four key values by following the rules below and select one key as the default key. PassPhrase A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by automatically

generating the WEP encryption keys for the print server. This setting is only valid when the security mode is in “WEP(HEX)”.

Key 1 to Key 4 If the key length is 64-bit, enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII values

as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or “Guest“.

If the key length is 128-bit, enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcd ef“ or “administrator“.

WPA-shared key Security Mode:

When “WPA-shared key”, also named “WPA-PSK” requires users to select the advanced encryption methods, i.e. TKIP and enter a set of shared key.

WP A Algorithms TKIP - TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key

every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security

AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for security in a wireless network.

Shared Key Enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for the authentication

11. UNIX System Network

11.1 Introduction

The MFP Server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol. The LPD protocol originated with Unix release is based on the BSD version of Unix and supported under most versions of Unix.

This chapter explains how to configure the MFP Server for TCP/IP operation, and how to modify configuration files on your Unix system to allow printing to the MFP Server. The configuration examples in this manual follow the syntax for BSD based Unix systems. Please refer to the related system documentation for the correct syntax of your systems.

To configure the MFP Server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:

1. Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support.

2. Set up MFP Server’s IP address.

3. Verify MFP Server’s IP Address.

4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.

5. Print a test page.

In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.

11.2 Enable MFP Server ’s TCP/IP Support

The default configuration of the MFP Server is with TCP/IP support enabled. Anyway, you can configure the MFP Server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program.

11.3 Setup MFP Server ’s IP Address

The MFP Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the netwo rk. You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one of the following

methods:

1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

The MFP Server will use the last two methods to obtain its IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

11.3.1 DHCP

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer to the manual of Unix for the way to use different DHCP Server. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the MFP Server.

11.3.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX system that is accessible by the MFP Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP addre ss of the MFP Server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the MFP Server. If you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system documentation.

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the f ollowing steps to add address entries,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address. Yo u can add

this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.12 pserver

2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following:

hostname:\ :ht=1:\ :ha=MFP_Server_ethernet_address:\ :ip=MFP_Server_ip_address:

Lines should be indented with tabs.

Where hostname is the device name of a MFP Server, the ht=1 tag specifies the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the Ethernet address of a MFP Server, which is the Node ID located on the MFP Server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the MFP Server.

For example, a MFP Server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 00304F010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 00304F010101), IP address: 203.66.191.12 The entry for this MFP Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

MF010101:\ :ht=1:\ :ha=00304F010101:\ :ip=203.66.191.12:

11.4 Verify MFP Server’s IP Address

To verify your MFP Server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using a PING command:

ping ip-address

11.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

The procedure you use to configure your Unix host(s) to allow printing to your network remote MFP Server varies between different varieties of Unix. The procedure below can be used for Unix variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of Unix, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:

1. The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server host.

2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the MFP

Server.

3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the

name of the printer port on the MFP Server.

You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root). To configure your Unix host for printing,

1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address. You can add

this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:

203.66.191.186 pserver

2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are

normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserv erd chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd

3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following:

printer-name:\ :lp=:\ :rm=203.66.191.186:\ :rp=lpt1:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\ :mx#0:

Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).

The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the MFP Server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.

The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step. The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer. The values

should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the printer port. The MFP Server should now be available for printing from your Unix host.

12. MFP Server Installation in MAC OS

LPR Printing (Line Printer Remote technology) allows Macintosh computers to connect to MFPs or printers via TCP/IP. LPR Printing can be set up on any Macintosh with version 9.x above.
