Authentication and encryption for wireless users onlyD
Authentication methodD
The Brother machine supports the following methods:
„ Open system
Wireless devices are allowed to access  the network without any authentication.
„ Shared key
A secret pre-determined key is shared by all de vices that will access the wireless network. The 
Brother machine uses the WEP keys as the pre-determined key.
„ WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-FI
® Protected Access Pr e-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/W PA2-PSK), which enables 
the Brother wireless machine to  associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES 
for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
„ LEAP
Cisco
® LEAP (Light Extensible Au thentication Protocol) has been developed by Cisco 
Systems, Inc. and enables the Brother wireless  product to associate with access points using 
CKIP and CMIC encryptions. 
Encryption methodsD
Encryption is used to secure the data that is se nt over the wireless network. The Brother machine 
supports the following encryption methods:
„ WEP
By using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), the  data is transmitted and received with a secure 
key.
„ TKIP
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provid es per-packet key mixing a message integrity 
check and re-keying mechanism.
„ AES
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is Wi-Fi
® authorized strong encryption standard.
„ CKIP
The original Key Integr ity Protocol for LEAP by  Cisco Systems, Inc.
„ CMIC
CMIC (Cisco Message In tegrity Check) is the message integrity ch eck mechanism for LEAP 
by Cisco Systems, Inc.
