configure the wireless function.
Auto
– “Auto” is the default setting of the MFP Server. At this mode, the MFP
Server will automatically decide to enable or disable the wireless function.
When the MFP Server starts up, it will auto-detect if the LAN port is connected
to an active network by an Ethernet cable. If this is the case, the MFP Server
will run in Ethernet mode. If the MFP Server is not connected to an active
network by Ethernet cable, the MFP Server will run in wireless LAN mode.

Users can plug the Ethernet cable to the MFP Server at the first, after
configuring the MFP Server features and wireless settings; they can unplug
the Ethernet cable to enable the wireless connection. It makes the
configuration much easier without creating the wireless connection in
advance.

Note: After you have set the wireless function, please remove the Ethernet
cable and then re-plug the power jack of the MFP Server to activate the
wireless connection.

Disable
– Disable the wireless function, the MFP Server’s wireless LAN will
be always disabled and Ethernet will be always enabled.

are in different country, please make sure that you have set the available
channels according to your location.
