Network Card Setup - Wireless (Adhoc Mode)
To configure the wireless card in Adhoc mode, you must configure
your host computer to match the default settings of the printer. Your
wireless network type must be Adhoc. Refer to your operating
system’s or your wireless network card documentation for
information on how to configure your computer.
1. Power on the printer. Enter the printer’s menu and navigate to the Communications/NIC Adapter/Quick Setup
menu branch. Scroll down to the “WLAN RFNET 3 ADHOC” menu item and press the ENTER button. When
prompted press the YES KEY. The printer will now be set to the following settings:
Wireless Mode: Enabled
IP: 192.168.10.26
SSID: Blank; none
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.10.26
2. Make sure your host computer’s network IP settings are in the same range, (but not identical) to the printers IP
address. (e.g. 192.168.10.20). Also be sure that Subnet Mask is set to 255.255.255.0 and the Gateway is set to
0.0.0.0 or the host computer’s IP address, (in this case 192.168.10.20).
3. From Windows, you may now “View Wireless Networks”.
From the list of available wireless networks select the printer
that you wish to connect to and then click on the Connect
button.
If you do not see your printer listed be sure you have the
host computer configured for Adhoc wireless networks.
This process will vary depending on your wireless device
installed in your host computer and your operating system
version.
Once the previous steps have been successfully completed you may now use the IP Address to:
