E
Authentication and encryption for wireless users onlyE
Authentication methodE
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 devices 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 Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-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 Authentication Pr otocol) has been developed by Cisco Systems, 
Inc. and enables the Brother wireless product to associate with access points using CKIP 
encryptions. 
„ EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secured Tunnel) 
has been developed by Cisco Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and password for 
authentication, and symmetric key algorithms to achieve a tunneled authentication process.
The Brother machine supports the following inner authentications:
• EAP-FAST/NONE MS-CHAPv2 is used for Provis ioning, and the method of EAP-FAST corresponding to 
second phase authentication method.
• EAP-FAST/MS-CHAPv2 Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4  that uses MS-CHAPv2 for inner method.
• EAP-FAST/GTC Method of EAP-FAST corresponding to CCXv4 that uses GTC for inner method.
 
						

							
232
Encryption methodsE
Encryption is used to secure the data that is sent 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) provides 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 Integrity Protocol for LEAP by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Network keyE
There are some rules for each security method:
„ Open system/Shared key with WEP
This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or hexadecimal format.
• 64 (40) bit ASCII: Uses 5 text characters. e.g.“WSLAN” (this is case sensitive).
• 64 (40) bit hexadecimal: Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234aba”.
• 128 (104) bit ASCII:
Uses 13 text characters. e.g.“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive).
• 128 (104) bit hexadecimal: Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”.
„ WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and TKIP or AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 
characters.
„ LEAP
Uses User ID and Password.
• User ID: less than 64 characters in length.
• Password: less than 32 characters in length.
„ EAP-FAST
Uses User ID and Password.
• User ID: less than 64 characters in length.
• Password: less than 32 characters in length.
