Wireless
Mode
Ad-Hoc (sometimes referred to as Peer-to-Peer, Computer-
to-Computer, 802.11 Ad-Hoc, or IBSS compliant Ad-Hoc)
modes are used when your wireless enabled PC is printing
straight to the printer.
Infrastructure mode is used when you have an Access point
or base station as the hub of your wireless network.
Pseudo Ad-Hoc is only used for testing and some older
802.11b implementations of Ad-Hoc. Auto mode attempts
connection with each of the other methods in turn.
NOTE: If the options on your 802.11b enabled computer are
Ad-Hoc, 802.11b Ad-Hoc, and Infrastructure, use
the following to determine the settings of the print
server:

WEP Key Disabled. The other Options are 64Bit WEP Key Size and
128Bit WEP Key Size. Be careful -- if one part of the
wireless network has WEP enabled, they all must have it
enabled with the same key or they cannot communicate.
WEP Key
Index
This is which WEP key you want to use out of the 4 entered
in the 128 / 64 WEP Key field.
128 Bit / 64
Bit WEP Key
This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP key that must match other
nodes’ encryption keys in order to communicate: 10
characters for 64 bit, or 26 characters for 128 bit. The print
server uses a Hexadecimal value for WEP. All 802.11b
devices have a way of translating their WEP or Security
values to 10 (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP) or 26 (for 128-bit
WEP) digit HEX values. Ask the manufacturer of your
wireless product how this is done for your PC and/or Access
Point.
