You want to use a password on your AirPort network.

Because AirPort uses passwords that do not follow the standard for WEP
encryption, you need to change your network password to a hexadecimal
value. Follow these steps:

1. Create a computer-to-computer network without password protection on

the Macintosh that you use to configure the print server.

2. Follow the steps beginning on page 14 to install WP-Admin and establish

a connection to the print server.

3. Make the following selections on the Wireless Server Configuration

screen:

■

Select

64BIT

in the WEP key box.

■

In the 64Bit Key 1 box, enter a hexadecimal value consisting of 10
digits, or a combination of digits and letters. Digits can be from 0 to
9, and letters must be between A and F. For example:

62B91F2A98

.

■

If you have an AirPort Base Station, enter a name for your network in
the SSID box. Then change the Wireless Mode to

Infrastructure

.

4. Make any other changes you want to the Wireless Server Configuration

screen and click

OK

. When you see the Wireless Server Search window,

click

QUIT

.

5. If you want to use the printer in computer-to-computer (ad hoc) mode,

go to step 6.

If you have an AirPort Base Station, do the following:

■

For Network Name, configure the base station to use the name that
you entered in the SSID box on the Wireless Server Configuration
screen.

■

For Network Password, select the hexadecimal value that you entered
in the 64Bit Key 1 box, preceded by the number zero (0) and
lowercase letter x. For example:

0x62B91F2A98

. Then go to step 7.
