 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).
 AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection by using a symmetric-key
encryption and is the Wi-Fi
®
authorized strong encryption standard.
 WPA2 with AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is eight or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63
characters.
 SSID
Each wireless network has its own unique network name that is referred to as the Service Set Identification
(SSID). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point. The wireless network
devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access point
and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as beacons) which have the
SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify and connect to
nearby wireless networks.
