enter WPA encryption data
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides standards-based, interoperable security
to strongly increase the level of data protection and access control for a wireless
LAN. To improve data encryption, WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP). To strengthen user authentication, WPA implements 802.1x and the
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
If WPA is in use on your network, you are either using 802.1x (server-based) or
PSK (Pre-Shared Key) authentication. Enter the authentication and encryption
information in the HP PSC embedded Web server prior to software installation.
Note: You must have a wired connection to access the embedded Web
server and configure your wireless settings prior to installation. For more
information, see connect your hp psc to a wireless network or computer on
page 147.
