Key Length – You can choose “64-bit” to use WEP with 64-bit key length encryption or choose “128-bit” to use WEP with 128-bit key length encryption. The longer key length can provide better security but worse transmission throughput.

Key Format – You may select to use ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.

PassPhrase – A “PassPhrase” simplifies the WEP encryption process by automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the MFP Server.

Default Key – Select one of the four keys to encrypt your data. Only the key you select it in the “Default key” will take effect.

Key 1 – Key 4 – The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted within the wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below.

64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. For example: "0123456aef" or "Guest".

128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. For example: "01234567890123456789abcdef" or "administrator".

13.2 Console Mode

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.

13.2.1 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.

13.2.2 Setup MFP Server's IP Address

The MFP Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux 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).

13.2.2.1 DHCP

There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer to the manual of Unix/Linux 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.

13.2.2.2 BOOTP

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX/LINUX system that is accessible by the MFP Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address 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 following steps to add address entries,

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:

203.66.191.12

pserver

1. 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: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101),

IP address: 203.66.191.12

The entry for this MFP Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:

MF010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12: 

13.2.3 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

13.2.4 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host

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

1. 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/pserverd
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd 

1. 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/Linux host.
