Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings 2-1
CONFIGURING THE 802.11B
AND IP SETTINGS
Configuring the Print Server
There are three basic steps required to configure print server:
1. Configuring the 802.11b settings for wireless usage. To operate on an
802.11b network, you must set the wireless (ad-hoc or infrastructure),
SSID, channel, data rate and WEP encryption. All nodes of a wireless
network need to have the same settings in order to communicate with
each other.
2. Configuring the IP address settings. You need to set the IP address,
subnet mask, and router address if you are using TCP/IP, NetBIOS IP,
or if you want to use the Web Browser management utility.
3. Configuring the print server for operation with the network operating
systems. Configure the print server to print using one or more network
operating systems (for example, Windows NT/2000, NetWare, etc.).
Before You Begin
Make sure that you have properly configured your computer for
communication on a wireless network. If you are connecting to the device
through an access point, make sure your computer is in infrastructure mode
and it is associated with the access point. If you are connecting directly to
the device without an access point, you should be in ad-hoc mode. See the
documentation for your wireless adapter for instructions.
NOTE: If your wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 Ad-hoc, you
must select it if you want to use the printer in ad-hoc mode. If it
doesn’t include this option, select Ad-hoc Computer-to-Computer, or
whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate on a wireless
network without an access point.
