Configuring the Dell Internal Wireless Adapter
Before installing the printer’s driver on your computer, you must configure
the appropriate network parameters of the printer.
NOTE: The following network information may be needed to configure the Dell
Internal Wireless Adapter on the printer.
• Network Name, also known as SSID (Service Set ID)
• Network authentication and encryption type
• Security Key(s) or Password
For more information, contact your wireless network administrator or see the
provided pdf network documentation.
The Dell 2335dn, Dell 2355dn, and Dell 5330 supports two standard wireless
operation modes, Infrastructure (recommended) & Ad hoc.
• Infrastructure mode (recommended): In Infrastructure mode, wireless
devices or workstations communicate with each other through an access
point (AP). In Infrastructure, wireless works after existing LAN cable
connection to the printer is unplug. (i.e. un-plug LAN cable when using
access point)
• Ad hoc (peer-to-peer) mode: Ad hoc mode is also referred to as Peer-to-
Peer mode. In Ad hoc mode, printer communicates directly with other
devices, without using an access point (AP). If wireless operation mode is
ad-hoc, user can use the printer to print & share files both wireless as well
as wired communication.
There are three ways the Dell Internal Wireless Adapter can be configured.
Either;
• Method 1: Using the printer's Operator Panel (recommended for simple network
security such as WEP). See page 10 for instructions.
• Method 2 (Dell 2355dn only): Using the printer's Operator Panel
(recommended for simple network such as Connection via PBC). See
page 10 for instructions.
Or,
• Method 3: Assigning the printer an IP address, using the IP address to
access the printer and using the printer's Embedded Web Server. See
page 15 for instructions.
