Wireless Interface
Connection Mode: Select one of the two connection modes.
• Infrastructure (default) – Connects to a wireless AP or router in a WLAN.
• Ad-Hoc – Connects directly to wireless clients in a peer-to-peer mode.
Note: For Ad-Hoc mode, all clients including the Print Server must use the same SSID
and channel number to establish proper connection. In addition, if WEP is enabled, all
clients and Print Server must use the identical WEP key and key number.
• SSID: Assign the SSID in this box. You can manually input the name or select
one from the drop-down menu. To search for any available wireless AP within the
network, click the Site Survey button.
• Wireless Channel: Select the channel from the drop-down menu. The default
channel is 11.

menu. The default setting is Fully Automatic.
WEP Encryption
This field allows you to configure the settings of data encryption. Please remember that
the WEP key must be set before the data encryption is enforced.
• WEP Encryption: This option allows you to select Disable, 64 bits, and 128
bits for the encryption setting.
• WEP Key Format: You can decide the network key to be encoded by ASCII (all
letters and numbers) or HEX (0-9, A-F).
• 64-bit (10 Hex/5 ASCII characters), 128-bit (26 Hex/13 ASCII characters).
Then, enter the key(s) for the network in the Key box (1~4). The WEP encryption must
be the same for all wireless devices on your network.
