Forward-looking technologies such as gigabit and fiber optic are gaining importance for network printing as well. When the powerful gigabit and fiber optic cables reach directly up to the printer, network printing benefits from much faster data transmission and more available bandwidth for voluminous print jobs. Fiber optic networks offer eavesdropping-secure data transmission on top of this. Security is also very important for wireless networks. As a matter of course, the new SEH WLAN print server utilizes the latest WLAN encryption standards WPA/WPA2.
Network Printing in Fiber Optic and Gigabit Networks The SEH print servers PS129 and PS1129 connect Kyocera output devices directly to the fiber network. This has two major advantages: Print data are safely transmitted right up to the printer and media converters are no longer needed. Such converters often cause failures and downtime. Utilizing fiber optic print servers significantly reduces maintenance costs. In addition to this, the model PS1129 offers all the advantages of fast data transmission and bi-directional communication in gigabit networks.
Up-to-date WLAN-Standards for Kyocera Output Devices PS159 is a new SEH WLAN print server for Kyocera output devices. It utilizes the currently safest WLAN encryption standards WPA and WPA2 (Personal und Enterprise Mode) and is also compatible with the older standard WEP. WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is mandatory for FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information Processing Standard), a standard that describes US Federal government requirements for IT products implementing cryptography. WPA2 is increasingly gaining importance for the financial community and the insurance industry. There are many fields of application for WLANs, e.g. fast and cost-effective extensions of cabled networks, networked operations in buildings where structural integrity is essential, mobile networks in meeting or training rooms, and temporary networks at special events.
Users can quickly and easily install, configure, and manage the three new interface cards PS129, PS1129, and PS159. All models are IPv6-enabled and come with the latest ThinPrint .print client including ThinPrint SSL encryption support. As with all SEH high end print servers the support of all common operating systems and protocols as well as service and support is included.
