You want to use a password on your AirPort network.
Because AirPort uses passwords that do not follow the standard for WEP
encryption, you need to change your network password to a hexadecimal
value. Follow these steps:
1. Create a computer-to-computer network without password protection on
the Macintosh that you use to configure the print server.
2. Follow the steps beginning on page 14 to install WP-Admin and establish
a connection to the print server.
3. Make the following selections on the Wireless Server Configuration
screen:
■ Select
64BIT
in the WEP key box.
■ In the 64Bit Key 1 box, enter a hexadecimal value consisting of 10
digits, or a combination of digits and letters. Digits can be from 0 to
9, and letters must be between A and F. For example:
62B91F2A98
.
■ If you have an AirPort Base Station, enter a name for your network in
the SSID box. Then change the Wireless Mode to
Infrastructure
.
4. Make any other changes you want to the Wireless Server Configuration
screen and click
OK
. When you see the Wireless Server Search window,
click
QUIT
.
5. If you want to use the printer in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode,
go to step 6.
If you have an AirPort Base Station, do the following:
■ For Network Name, configure the base station to use the name that
you entered in the SSID box on the Wireless Server Configuration
screen.
■ For Network Password, select the hexadecimal value that you entered
in the 64Bit Key 1 box, preceded by the number zero (0) and
lowercase letter x. For example:
0x62B91F2A98
. Then go to step 7.
