Step 4 For Wired Setup, go to □ Step 11.
For Wireless Setup, continue with
□ Step 5.
Before the SDS can communicate on an
802.11b wireless network, the WLAN
settings must match the wireless
network. By default, the SDS is set to
Infrastructure network mode and its
SSID, which is its wireless Network
Name, is blank. This allows it to connect
to any available wireless network.
