Getting started

Understanding your network type

Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the

machine at a time.

Wireless network name and network password

Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,

a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are

created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information

before proceeding with the machine installation.

Infrastructure mode

This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs
(Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.

Ad hoc mode

This mode does not use an access point. The wireless
computer and wireless machine communicate directly.
