Wireless Configuration

The Wireless Print Server is a Wireless station, NOT access point. Like all other Wireless
stations, they have 2 modes:

Ad Hoc mode (Default)- no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate directly
with each other.

Infrastructure - all Wireless stations connect to the Access Point. This allows connection
to both other Wireless stations and the wired LAN.

The Wireless Print Server does NOT allow both a LAN connection
and "Infrastructure" mode.
In "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN cable will disable the
Wireless interface.
To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, "Ad-hoc" mode
must be used.

Required configuration

Ad-hoc Mode (Default)

Infrastructure Mode

SSID

Default : ANY

In Ad Hoc mode, the Wireless Print
Server will join any group with the
same SSID.

If there's no Ad Hoc group available in
the environment, the Wireless Print
Server will create a group using the
SSID value as configured.

Must match the Access Point.

Channel

Default : 11

In Ad Hoc mode, the Print Server will
scan all Channels to look for
compatible groups it can join. If there
is no existing Hoc group available, the
Wireless Print Server will create the
group using its own Channel number.

Access Point sets the Channel
used.

Wireless stations
automatically locate the
correct channel.
