Setting up over the

WLAN

Before you begin, configure the WLAN settings on your workstation /

laptop as described below (refer to the user documentation of your WLAN

network interface for instructions):

Select

ad hoc mode.

Set the

SSID to AXIS followed by the last 6 digits of the serial number

which is found on the underside label of the Axis Network Print Server
(example: AXIS181636). The SSID is case sensitive and must be entered
exactly as stated, i.e. in upper-case letters.

Set the

WLAN channel to 11 (channel 14 in Japan).

Disable

the WEP parameter.

Proceed with the following:

To establish communication with the network, an IP address must be
assigned to your Axis Network Print Server. See

“Assigning an IP

Address to the Print Server”

on page 16.

Once the connection has been established, proceed with creating a
certificate. See

Configuring the Axis Network Print Server for Wireless

Printing

, on page 23.

Next, activate https in the print server for secure Web services, such as
WEP. See

Configuring the Axis Network Print Server for Wireless

Printing

, on page 23.

Set the

WLAN Network Mode and enter the SSID, WLAN channel and

WEP keys according to your network. See

“Configuring the Axis

Network Print Server for Wireless Printing”

on page 23.

The Axis Network Print Server must be restarted for the WLAN settings
to take effect. Disconnect and reconnect the Axis Network Print Server
Power Adapter to restart the AXIS 5900.

Note:

Once the print server’s connection to the network has been
established and verified, you can reset the workstation / laptop to
its original settings i.e. the network mode, SSID, WLAN channel
and WEP keys.
