Lexmark 7600 Series - Manual (Page 59)

Using a WPS-capable router
If your router supports WPS, you can add the printer to your wireless network using the method supported by your
router. Refer to your router documentation for instructions.
Using Windows Vista
For information on using Windows Vista to set up the printer using WPS, refer to the documentation that came with
the operating system.
Note: Lexmark recommends that you use the installation software on the CD that shipped with the printer to
configure it for wireless access.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my WEP key or WPA passphrase?
To find the WEP key or WPA passphrase for the wireless network, view the security settings on the access point or
wireless router. Most access points have a built-in Web server that can be accessed using a Web browser. If you do
not know how to access the built-in Web server, or if you do not have administrator access to the wireless access
point on your network, contact your system support person.
What is an SSID?
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know
the SSID of the wireless network or they will not be able to communicate with each other. Usually, the wireless network
broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for
security reasons.
If the SSID of your wireless network is not broadcast, it cannot be detected automatically and will not show up in the
list of available wireless networks. You must enter the network information manually in this situation.
An SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Where do I find my SSID?
You can find the SSID for the wireless network by viewing the settings on the access point or wireless router. Most
access points have a built-in Web server that can be accessed using a Web browser.
Many network adapters provide a software application that allows you to view the wireless settings of your computer,
including your SSID. Check your computer to see if a program was installed with your network adapter.
If you are unable to locate your SSID using either of these methods, contact your system support person.
What is a network?
A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers
connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be wired,
wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices.
Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other.
