The Monarch 7411 Print Server lets you communicate with the
Monarch 9825 printer on a wired Ethernet 802.3 network, or on an
802.11b or 802.11g wireless network. 802.11b/g refers to 802.11b and
802.11g in this manual.
Information in this document supercedes information in previous versions.
release information.
O v e r v i e w
You can use the print server in Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure
(access point) wireless mode. The print server operates at speeds of up to
11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b and 54 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11g wireless
compatible networks.
The wireless print server includes a dual-mode built-in wired Ethernet
(802.3) connection so the print server automatically switches between
wireless and wired Ethernet mode within the same subnet address. When
switching between wired and wireless mode on different subnets, turn off the
printer and then turn it back on to reinitialize the print server.

S y s t e m R e q u i r e m e n t s
To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an
802.11b/g wireless network. The wireless network consists of either of the
following:
♦ An 802.11b/g wireless enabled PC printing straight to the printer (Ad-Hoc
or Peer-to-Peer Mode).
♦ An 802.11b/g wireless access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet
enabled computers to print to the print server (Infrastructure Mode).
To configure and print, you need the following:
1. The MAC address from the label of the print server (for example:
004017023F96).
2. The following information from your wireless network administrator:
♦ Wireless Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc)
♦ The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network.
♦ If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are
not connected to a server that automatically assigns your IP address, you
need to set the printer in Static mode and assign a unique IP Address for
the wireless print server (for example: 192.168.1.14) and a subnet mask.
A router (default gateway) address is optional.

C o n f i g u r i n g t h e P r i n t S e r v e r
To configure the print server for a 802.11b/g wireless network, you must set
the wireless mode (Ad-Hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel (Ad-Hoc mode
only), data rate and security. All nodes of a wireless network need to have
the same settings in order to communicate with each other.
B e f o r e Y o u B e g i n
Properly configure your computer for communication on a wireless network
before you continue. If you are connecting to the device through an access
point, your computer should be in infrastructure mode and associated with
the access point. If you are connecting directly to the device without an
access point, you should be in Ad-Hoc mode.
Note: If your wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 Ad-Hoc, you
must select it if you need to use the printer in Ad-Hoc mode. If it
does not include this option, select Ad-Hoc Computer-to-Computer,
or whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate on a wireless
network without an access point.
If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or other
advanced security, such as WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), on your wireless
network, temporarily disable the security on your PC in order to configure
the print server. If you are using an access point with security enabled and it
does not allow non-secure clients to communicate with other non-secure
clients, temporarily change the wireless mode of your computer to Ad-Hoc
(802.11) mode.
Note: If no computers on your network can be set to Ad-Hoc mode,
temporarily disable security on your access point. When you are
done configuring the print server, you can re-enable security on your
computer and change the wireless mode back if necessary. You can
also use a wired connection to configure the print server.

♦ If you are using TCP/IP, note your computer’s IP address. The print
server needs to be on the same IP segment as the other nodes on your
network in order to communicate.
♦ You should have a good signal between your computer and the access
point.
I n s t a l l i n g t h e S o f t w a r e
The following operating systems are supported:
Microsoft Windows NT 4, 2000, and XP.
Follow these steps to install the Monarch® NetManager software and
configure the print server. You can also download the utility from our Web
site.
1. Insert the CD-ROM (included with your printer) into your PC.
2. Click on the Software folder, click Network Utilities, NetManager folder,
then click on Setup.exe.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the utility. When
NetManager starts for the first time, you will see the NetManager
Welcome screen.
You are prompted to enter a View name. Then you can either select the
protocol and filter settings, or “Automatically create a view with default
settings.”
4. Click Finish to begin searching for print servers. NetManager gets the
information from the print server(s) and lists the server name, IP address,
and hardware (Ethernet) address. It might take a minute or two for the
printer server to show up, especially if you have a large wireless network.
The default name of the print server is PXRxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the
last 6 digits of the Ethernet address (for example, PXR08B2C7).
Note: If you do not see the print server in the list, hold down the test
button on the back of the print server for more than 5 seconds to
reset it to factory defaults and try the search again. If you still do not
see it, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”
5. When you see the print server you need to configure in the list, highlight
it and click the Configuration tool.
2-2 Ethernet Operating Instructions
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Note: If the wireless signal is less than 50% on the Wireless Status
screen, printing performance could be affected. To improve the
signal strength, try moving the print server closer to the computer or
access point and away from other radio devices such as Bluetooth®
wireless devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4 gigahertz cordless
phones.
6. Configure your print server to the settings you need. Many of the fields
are automatically configured to match the network being used, so you
may not need to change the Wireless Mode, RF Channel, SSID, and Data
Rate settings unless you need to change the print server to a different
wireless network.
♦ If your network uses WEP encryption or other advanced security, you
need to enable the security and enter the appropriate key(s). Contact
your system administrator to determine what information you need.
♦ If you are using TCP/IP and you do not have a DHCP server (see note
below), you need to manually assign a valid IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway and then set the boot method to static.
7. When you are done configuring, click OK. You are prompted to save
changes and reset the print server. Click OK. The print server resets with
your new configuration. This may take several minutes.
Note: If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server may have
acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is
necessary. This might work well if your DHCP server allows the print
server to keep this address permanently, but in most cases, you
should use a static address outside the range reserved for DHCP
(Refer to your DHCP server documentation for details). This is
because when you configure your printer port, it goes to a static IP
address.

M i c r o s o f t W i n d o w s N e t w o r k C o n f i g u r a t i o n
The print server includes the easy-to-use NetManager software for printing
from Windows computers over an 802.11b/g wireless link. This software
creates a network port on the Windows system, which acts like a normal
parallel port. As a result, it works transparently with any standard Windows
printer driver and application program. Because this software uses the
industry-standard TCP/IP protocol, it can be used with IP routers and other
IP-based equipment.
A d d i t i o n a l W i n d o w s C o n f i g u r a t i o n M e t h o d s
The print server is also compatible with other methods of printing from
Windows. These include the Standard TCP/IP port option in Windows
2000/XP, and the lpr port option in Windows NT that are built into the
operating system.
U N I X N e t w o r k C o n f i g u r a t i o n
The print server appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a
unique IP address running the line printer daemon (LPD) protocol. As a
result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote-lpr command
can spool jobs to the print server without the need for any special software
on the host computer.
Note: Before configuring a UNIX print queue, the print server must have a
valid IP address.

Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment Corporation
Digital UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not
Solaris), SCO UNIX; and many others. Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM AIX users
should skip to the appropriate sections later in this manual.
♦ Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer
configuration utility, because it does not work with Paxar print servers.
Instead, Linux users should follow the configuration steps listed in this
section.
♦ SCO UNIX users should use the rlpconf command to create a printer and
automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you will still need to edit the
/etc/hosts file). Enter the print server's service name (MONxxxxxx_P1) as
the name of the printer (refer to the print server self-test for the exact
name of this service), and enter the name of the print server that you
assigned in the /etc/hosts file as the remote host name; note that
because this name must be unique for each printer, we recommend using
the MONxxxxxx_P1 service instead of the normal BINARY_P1 service.
1. Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33
monprinter
2. Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is:
MonarchPrinter:\
:lp=:\
:rm=MON:\
:rp=BINARY_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/MonarchPrinter:
"MonarchPrinter" is the queuename.
"MON" matches the name in the hosts file.
"BINARY_P1" is the print server's service name.
Note: Use TEXT_P1 instead of BINARY_P1 for text files."sd" is the spool
directory.
Management Methods 3-3

3. Create the spool directory: The lpd spool directory is usually located in
the /usr/spool directory. To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir
command; for example:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/MonarchPrinter
4. Print using the standard lpr command:
lpr –PMonarchPrinter filename
5. For AT&T based UNIX systems, such as SCO, use the standard lp
command:
lp –dMonarchPrinter filename
Sun Solaris Configuration
To use a print server with Sun Solaris, first use the Host Manager in the
Admintool utility to add the print server IP address and name to the
/etc/hosts file.
1. Click None - Use /etc files on host
2. Click Apply.
3. Click Edit and then Add Host.
4. Enter the print server name as the Host Name (this name is anything you
want, but should not have an "_" character in it).
5. Enter the IP address and Ethernet address of the print server (the
Ethernet address has the format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff)
6. Click Add and then close the Host Manager windows.

7. Use the Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under Open Windows as
follows:
Select Edit
Select Add
Select Add Access to Remote Printer
At the PrinterName prompt, type any name for the print queue
At the Printer Server prompt, type:
name\!servicename
(for example, MonarchPrinter\!BINARY_P1), where:
name matches the print server name as entered in the host’s table.
servicename is the print service name. For binary graphics files use
the service BINARY_P1; for text files use the service TEXT_P1.
8. Set the Print Server OS to BSD (this is the default setting).
9. Select Add.
10. To print, use the standard lp command; for example:
lp –dMonarchPrinter filename
Notes:
♦ We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than
NIS or other name services.
♦ Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier
releases, may cause problems printing very long print jobs. The
workaround is to configure the print server as an HP JetDirect card using
the HP JetAdmin for UNIX software.
♦ Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the
lpadmin command.

There are two main decisions to be made when choosing wireless security:
encryption method and authentication protocol. The encryption method
determines the algorithm used to encrypt the message. The authentication
type specifies how users are identified and verified on a network. Is the
device seeking connection what (and who) it claims to be?
Select an Encryption Method from the following table:
Encryption Method
Type
Algorithm Size
(bits)
Description
WEP
RC4
64/128
This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP Key that
must match other nodes’ encryption keys
in order to communicate. The user can
only define 10 hex characters (40 bits) for
64 bit WEP or 26 characters (104 bits) for
128 bit WEP.
WPA
RC4
AES
64/128
128
Improves on WEP by using TKIP*
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), which
dynamically changes the encryption key
and MIC (Message Integrity Code), which
replaces CRC.
WPA2
Improves on WPA by replacing RC4 with
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for
encryption. The user can only define 26
characters (104 bits) for 128 bit WPA2.
*
Dynamic WEP cannot be selected directly, so select 128 for the
encryption mode and select an authentication mode from one of the
following: LEAP, PEAP, EAP-FAST, TLS, or TTLS.

Verify that the printer is operating properly:
1. Is the printer online and does it have supplies?
2. If the printer is working correctly, test the connection between the printer
and the print server by pushing the test button on the back of the printer
for less than five seconds.
3. If the test page does not print, try resetting the print server to factory
defaults by holding the test button for more than five seconds.
G e n e r a l T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g I n f o r m a t i o n
Use the following information if your print server is not operating properly.
1. Verify that the printer is turned on.
2. If you are switching between wired and wireless mode on different
subnets, turn off the printer and then turn it back on to reinitialize the
print server.
3. Verify that the print server is functioning.
When the printer is turned on, the print server runs through a set of
power-up diagnostics for a few seconds.

4. Print a test label. See Chapter 1, “Getting Started” for more information.
Press the print server test button for about a second and a label should
print.
Use 6-inch long supply. If you are using supply that is shorter than 6
inches long, temporarily change your supply type to “continuous” to
print the entire test label. After printing the test label, change your
supply type to your previous setting.
If a label does not print, check the printer's display to see if it shows
a receiving status. If so, press Escape to exit receiving mode. Once
you see “Online Ready” on the display, print a test label again. If
this does not print or the printer does not display “Online Ready,” the
unit is locked up. Turn off the printer, wait fifteen seconds and then
turn it back on.
If the printer displays “Online Ready,” but is not printing, verify that
the parallel port settings did not change. The Parallel Port setting
should be “Internal” and the Mode setting should be “IEEE1284”.
(From the Main Menu, select Setup, Port Settings, Parallel Comm.,
Port and Mode.)
5-2 Ethernet Operating Instructions
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
5. On the test label, verify your IP and WiFi settings. If using an Ethernet
cable, the “Wired/Wireless:” value should be “WIRED”. If using RF, the
setting should be “WIRELESS”.
Check the “Actual SSID” and the “WiFi Sig Qual”. Is the actual SSID
correct? Is the signal quality greater than zero? If the signal quality
is 0, you lost connection with the access point. If it is very low, you
may be experiencing interference or are very close to being out of
range or an access point. A value of 100 is the best you can have
for signal quality. You can probably operate at a minimum of 60, but
the number of retries is likely to increase.
6. Telnet to the printer.
Note: If the print server has been reset, you may need to re-enable Telnet.
Once you have verified connectivity, Telnet to the printer. This gives
you access to console operation of the printer. Press Enter (on your
host) to get the “#” prompt and enter “access” as the password.
Press Enter to by-pass the user name. Once here, you have verified
operation to the print server.
7. Ping the printer.
If you can ping the printer, it is at least "seen" on the network. If you
cannot ping the printer, then ping every device in the path to the printer -
access points, routers, etc. If you can ping every device but the printer,
the printer needs to be turned off and back on. If some device in the
path to the printer cannot be pinged, that device needs attention.
ping <ip address> (i.e. ping 192.0.0.192)
8. Verify connection to the data port by starting a Telnet session to the
printer using port 9100 (i.e. Telnet aa.bb.cc.dd 9100). If this fails, some
other device has the session in use. Either terminate the other
connection or turn off the printer and then turn it back on.
Troubleshooting 5-3
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If the connection succeeds, press Ctrl-E on your keyboard. This
sends an ENQ request. The printer responds with three characters.
Depending upon the Telnet being used, you may not see the first
character, as it is a hex 05 value. The other two characters are
ASCII characters.
You see
A@
which means the printer is online and waiting. Alternatively, you can
type
{J,2}
The printer responds with {J,0,0,””,””}.
Note: The J must be capital.
If you do not get any response, the printer may have an open
session to some other connection. Either terminate the other
connection or turn off the printer and turn it back on.
9. Perform a factory reset on the print server.
If the printer is not initializing correctly (verified by printing a test label
from print server), perform a factory reset. Press the print server button
while turned on and hold for about 10 seconds. The unit reinitializes
with the factory-set defaults and then reboots. Verify with a test label to
see if the unit is now correctly set.
If the print server is pre-configured by us for the customer, the default
values should represent the customer’s defaults.

1. Your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point should be
configured to match your print server.
2. The print server should be in range of the printer (90 meters or 300 feet)
and your PC and away from metal objects and other devices with radio
signals (Bluetooth®, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and microwaves).
3. If you are connecting through an access point, use infrastructure mode.
If you are connecting to the print server without an access point, use Ad-
Hoc (802.11) mode.
4. If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or other advanced
security on your wireless network, temporarily disable the security on
your PC in order to configure the print server. If you are using an access
point with security enabled and it does not allow non-secure clients to
communicate with other non-secure clients, temporarily change the
wireless mode of your computer to Ad-Hoc (802.11) mode.
Note: If no computers on your network can be set to Ad-Hoc mode,
temporarily disable the security on your access point. When you are
done configuring the print server, you can re-enable the security on
your computer and change the wireless mode back if necessary. You
can also use a wired connection to configure the print server.
5. If you need to use encryption or password protect your wireless network,
and your wireless adapter or access point normally uses a password or
passphrase instead of WEP, it should allow you to enter 0x followed by a
ten digit (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP) or twenty-six digit (for 128-bit WEP)
key in hexadecimal format (0-9 or A-F).
6. If you are experiencing slow performance or are having intermittent
problems connecting, change the RF channel of your wireless network
(Ad-Hoc mode only). This can be done in the NetManager Wireless
Configuration screen. Change it to at least 3 channels lower or higher
than any other wireless networks within range.

♦ If you are using TCP/IP, your computer and the print server should be on
the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from
the host. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the
same logical network as your host computers.
♦ If your print server is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP address,
the print server’s IP address can change. Either configure your DHCP
server to give the print server a permanent lease or configure the print
server to be on a static address that does not conflict with any other
address.

any directories or subdirectories. For example,
c:\program files\monarch software\mpcl
toolbox\9855.phu
Access Point
An interface between a wireless network and a wired
network. Access points can be used with Ethernet or
other communications to enable roaming throughout a
facility.
Ad-Hoc
Network/Mode
A wireless network composed of devices that contain a
network interface card and no access point.
Ad-Hoc mode is also called peer-to-peer (point-to-point)
communications or BSS network. As long as the devices
are in range and are on the same channel and SSID, they
connect and communicate. Use this mode if a wireless
infrastructure does not exist or where services are not
required.
Authentication
Method
Identifies users on a network, based on a username and
password. There are two types: open and shared.
Authentication protocols include LEAP, PEAP, TLS, TTLS,
EAP-FAST, and PSK.
Auto Method
One of the available boot methods. Auto tries DHCP,
BOOTP, and RARP, then sets to the last IP address used
if the IP address is not automatically set using any of the
previous methods.
BOOTP or
Bootstrap Protocol
One of the available boot methods. It is a protocol used
by devices that know their MAC address, but do not know
their IP address. The device broadcasts its hardware
address and the BOOTP server responds with the IP
address for it. The network administrator must enter the
MAC address in the BOOTP Config file to obtain the IP
address from the server.
Boot Method
Boot Tries
The wireless print server uses this method to obtain an IP
address. Can be set to Auto, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or
Static.
The number of times the device tries to get an IP address
from the server when using the BOOTP and DHCP
methods.
BSS or
Basic Service Set
A set of 802.11b/g devices operating as a fully connected
wireless network.
BSSID
See MAC Address.
Glossary G-1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Channel or
RF Channel
You can select which channel your network devices use to
communicate. All devices must be on the same channel to
communicate in Ad-Hoc mode. Other radio devices such
as Bluetooth® wireless devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4-
GHz cordless phones may operate/interfere if they are on
the same channel as your network.
DHCP or
One of the available boot methods. It is a protocol that
issues IP addresses automatically within a specified range
to devices (such as printers) when they are first turned on.
The device keeps the IP address for a defined period of
time set by your System Administrator; however, a device
could have a different IP address every time it connects to
the network.
Dynamic Host
Configuration
Protocol
EAP (Extensible
Authentication
Protocol)
Defines how to pass authentication information between
the device and authentication server. The authentication
is handled by the EAP type: FAST, TLS, TTLS, etc.
FAST (Flexible
Authentication via
Secure Tunneling)
Cisco Systems® developed this authentication protocol. It
does not use certificates to authenticate, but a PAC
(Protected Access Credential), which is managed
dynamically by the server. The PAC is distributed one at
a time to the client manually or automatically.
Gateway
Allows connections (communications) between different
subnets on a network.
Infrastructure
Mode
Requires an access point to communicate with other
devices on the network. In infrastructure mode, wireless
devices can communicate with each other or with a wired
network.
IP Address
An Internet Protocol identifier for a device on a network.
It consists of four 3-digit numeric fields, separated by
periods. Each number can be zero to 255. An IP address
has two components, the network address and the host
address. Most company networks have ranges for their IP
addresses.
LAN or
Local Area
Network
A computer network that connects personal computers,
workstations, servers, and printers. This allows each user
on the network the ability to share devices, such as
printers, and communicate with each other via email, etc.
LANs can be connected to each other by telephone lines
or radio waves. See WLAN.
LEAP (Lightweight
Extensible
Authentication
Protocol)
Cisco Systems® introduced this authentication protocol
and provides mutual authentication with unique WEP keys
for each user. New keys are issued based on a time limit.
Changing the WEP key time limits provides additional
security.
G-2 Ethernet Operating Instructions
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
LPD/LPR
A printer protocol that uses TCP/IP to establish
connections between printers on a network. Also known
as Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Remote.
MAC Address or
Media Access
Control
A hardware address (6-byte) that uniquely identifies each
node of a network. The MAC address is set during
manufacturing and does not change. Also, two Network
Interface Cards (NIC) will not have the same value.
MSCHAPv2
(Challenge
Handshake
Authentication
Protocol)
The Microsoft® version of CHAP. It is a three-way
handshake protocol that is more secure than PAP. It
provides mutual authentication between devices.
NIC or
Network Interface
Card
An adapter (board or card) that can be inserted into a
device, so the device can be connected to a network. The
NIC converts data from the device into the form transmitted
or received from the network
Node
A processing location on a network. The location can be a
workstation, computer, or printer. Each Node has a unique
MAC address.
Open
Authentication
This allows any device to authenticate and then attempt to
communicate with the access point. Any wireless device
can authenticate with the access point, but if WEP is used,
the device can communicate only if its WEP keys match the
access point's. There is no challenge that occurs, you
either have the correct key or not when you communicate
with the access point. By eliminating the challenge
process, it actually makes this more secure than shared
key authentication.
PAP (Password
Authentication
Protocol)
A simple authentication protocol used with PPP (Point-to-
Point Protocol). It is a plain text password system, which
is not very secure.
Pathname
The location of a particular file or directory that includes
the full path to the needed filename or directory. This is a
combination of path and filename.
PEAP (Protected
Extensible
Authentication
Protocol)
Authenticates clients into a network using only server-side
certificates, which makes implementing and administering a
wireless LAN easier.
Ping
A way to determine if a device is accessible. It sends a
packet to the specified address and waits for a reply.
This is the way two devices transmit data between each
other, including error checking, data compression, and how
messages start and end.
Protocol
Glossary G-3

PSK
Authentication mode of WPA used in SOHO environments.
The key value (or pass-phrase) is used for network
authentication only (not data encryption). It does not use a
RADIUS server like the other modes, but uses a shared key
to provide the initial authentication with the access point or
host.
(Pre-Shared Key)
RADIUS (Remote
Authentication Dial-
In Server)
This is an authentication server, such as the Cisco® ACS,
Microsoft® IAS, etc.
RARP or
Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol
One of the available boot methods. The device sends an
RARP request and the RARP server responds with an IP
address. The device knows its MAC address and the
server responds with the IP address for it.
Relative
Pathname
The file or directory location on the user’s system relative
to the user’s current location on the system (what directory
the user is currently in). For example, mpcl
toolbox\9855.phu
Router
Any device that forwards data along networks. Routers are
located at gateways.
Shared
Authentication
The access point sends an unencrypted challenge text
string to any device attempting to communicate with it. The
device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge
text and sends it back to the access point. If the challenge
text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows the
requesting device to authenticate. Both the unencrypted
challenge and the encrypted challenge can be monitored;
however, this leaves the access point open to attack.
Because of this weakness, shared key authentication can
be less secure than open authentication.
Signal Strength
A percentage (1 to 100) of the connection between the
device and access point. If the signal strength is 0, there
is no connection with the access point; 30 or less indicates
you may be experiencing interference or close to being out
of access point range, and below 50, printing performance
could be affected. To improve the signal strength, try
moving the printer closer to the access point and away
from other radio devices such as Bluetooth® wireless
devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4-GHz cordless phones.
Sets the maximum rate of communication between the
devices on the network. It is also called transmit rate. The
speeds are in megabits per second (Mbps) and include: 1,
2, 5.5, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54.

SSID or
Service Set
Identifier
A unique identifier that must match for all nodes on a
subnetwork to communicate with each other. It consists of
up to 32 characters (any printable character, including
spaces). If using the space character, it must be enclosed
in quotation marks. It is case-sensitive.
Static
Method
One of the available boot methods. Use static if your
network uses fixed configuration. The IP address remains
the same every time the device connects to the network.
Subnet
A portion of a network that shares a common address
component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are all devices
with the same prefix. For example, all devices that start
with 192.192.192 are part of the same subnet. Dividing a
network into subnets is useful for both security and
performance reasons.
Subnet Mask
A mask is used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to. Companies often have ranges of IP addresses
that can be described by one or more masks. For example,
a mask of 255.255.255.0 allows variation in the last
position only, because the first three positions are fixed.
Telnet
A Terminal Emulation program for TCP/IP networks that
runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on
the network. You enter commands through the Telnet
program and they run as if you were entering them directly
on the server console.
TCP/IP
A way that two devices can transmit data between each
other. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet
Protocol) is generally the standard for transmitting data
over a network.
TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol)
Changes the encryption keys regularly and has time limits
before new keys are created. Changing the key
periodically provides additional security.
TLS (Transport
Layer Security)
A cryptographic protocol that uses client-side and server-
side certificates to authenticate users on the Web. It can
dynamically create user-based and session-based keys.
TTLS (Tunneled
Transport Layer
Security)
Provides certificate-based, server-side, mutual
authentication of the client and network through an
encrypted channel (or tunnel). It can dynamically create
user-based and session-based keys.
Transmit Rate
See Speed.

WEP or
Wired Equivalent
Privacy
A security protocol for wireless local area networks. WEP
was designed to provide the same level of security as that
of a wired network, which is inherently more secure than a
wireless network because wired networks are easily
protected against unauthorized access. Wireless networks
use radio waves to communicate and can be vulnerable to
unauthorized users.
WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio waves
so that it is protected as it is transmitted. However, it has
been found that WEP is not as secure as once believed.
Note: If one part of a wireless network has WEP enabled,
they all must have it enabled with the same key or
they cannot communicate.
128 Bit / 64 Bit
WEP Key
This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP key that must match other
Nodes’ encryption keys in order to communicate: 10 hex
characters for 64 bit (40 user-specified characters), or 26
hex characters for 128 bit (104 user-specified characters).
You must use the same key values for devices to
communicate with each other.
WLAN or Wireless
Local Area Network
A LAN that uses high-frequency radio waves to
communicate between nodes, rather than telephone wires,
etc.
WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access)
A network security protocol that uses improved
authentication and temporal keys. It was created to
address the weaknesses of WEP encryption.
WPA2
(or IEEE 802.11i)
A network security protocol with stronger encryption than
WPA. It was created to address the weaknesses of WEP
encryption.
