CONFIGURING WIRELESS NETWORK FROM
SYNCTHRU WEB SERVICE
You must configure the appropriate network parameters to use your printer
in a wireless network. You can use
SyncThru™ Web Service
, an embedded
web site of your printer. This section gives you basic information on
802.11b/g network parameters which can be configured from the
SyncThru™ Web Service
.
You can configure basic wireless settings, such as
SSID
,
Operation Mode
and
WPA Shared Key
. You can retrieve basic settings by selecting a
wireless network.
If you do not know about your wireless environment, please ask the network
administrator.
1. Enter your machine’s IP address as the URL in a browser and click Go
to access the web site of your machine.
2. Click
Network Settings
and
Wireless
.
3. Select
Wizard
in
Wireless Settings
.
4. Click
Next
.
5. Select
Network Name(SSID)
in
SSID Setup
.
•
SSID
:
SSID
(Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a wireless
network. Access points and wireless devices attempting to connect
to a specific wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is
case-sensitive.
•
Operation Mode
: Operation Mode refers to the type of wireless
connections.
-
Ad-hoc
: allows wireless devices to communicate directly with each
other in a peer-to-peer environment.
-
Infrastructure
: allows wireless devices to communicate with each
other through an access point.

If wireless security setting window appears, enter the registered
password and click

•
Operation Mode
is
Infrastructure
:
-
None
: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s
identity and data encryption are not required for your network. Open
system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
-
Static WEP
: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static
WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption,
decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication.
-
WPA Personal
: You can select WPA-PSK to authenticate the print
server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared secret
key (generally called Pre Shared Key passphrase) that is manually
configured on the access point and each of its clients. This is
suitable for users who want to use WPA but do not have a RADIUS
server installed on their network.
