Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings 2-3
4. Click START to begin searching for print servers. WP-Admin gets the
information from the print server(s) and lists the Server Name and
Ethernet Address (which should correspond with the label on the back of
the print server). It might take a minute or two for the print server to
show up, especially if you have a large wireless network. The default
name of the print server is XCD_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six
digits of the Ethernet (MAC) address (for example, XCD_08B2C7).
NOTE: If you do not see the print server in the list, hold down the button for
more than 5 seconds to reset it to factory defaults and try the search
again. If you still do not see it, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
5. When you see the print server you want to configure in the list, highlight
it and click Configure. If you are using DHCP, wait until the print server
gets an IP Address from the DHCP server and is updated on the search
screen before configuring (the IP address changes from the default
10.1.85.1 to a new value).
NOTE: If the wireless signal is less than 50% on the search screen, printing
performance could be affected. To improve the signal strength, try
moving the print server closer to the computer or access point and
away from other radio devices such as Bluetooth wireless devices,
microwave ovens, or 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones.
6. You will be prompted for the configuration password (the default
password is access), type in the password and click OK to continue.
The Wireless Server Configuration screen comes up.
NOTE: If you are having trouble configuring a print server, click Cancel to
get back to the Search screen, click Clear to clear the list of print
servers, and start again from step 4 above.
7. The settings of the print server you selected in the Wireless Server
Search screen will be displayed. Many of the fields are automatically
configured to match the network being used, so you probably do NOT
need to change the Wireless Mode, RF Channel, SSID, and Data Rate
settings unless you want to want to change the print server to a different
wireless network.
