In the Infrastr uc ture mode, yo u ha ve to let the p rint ser ver associate with a n access poi nt. You le t the pri nt ser ver scan for a n a vailable access poi nt automatically o r manually assig n the SS ID of the access poi nt you wa nt to use. If yo u select to le t the print ser ve r sca n for a n a vailable access point, the followi ng windo w will pop up. The list is the sca nned a vailable access poi nts . Selec t a n access point i n the list a nd c lick “ Next” .
In the Ad- Hoc mode, yo u ca n le t the print se r ver automa tically associate with other wire less sta tion o r manually assig n the SS ID of yo ur wireless network . Yo u can let the p rint ser ver a utoma tically select the c ha nne l tha t is the sa me with the peer or ma nually assig n a c ha nne l. If yo u select to le t the print ser ve r sca n for a n acti ve wireless s tation, the fo llo wing wi ndow will pop up . The list is the sca nned acti ve wire less s tations .
This print ser ve r s uppor ts WEP a nd WPA-PSK security mode. If yo u wa nt to use WEP enc r yption to protec t yo ur wireless network , yo u ha ve to se lect “WEP(ASCII)” or “WEP(HEX)”. If yo u want to use WPA-PSK, yo u ha ve to select “WPA-shared ke y”. The wire less sec urity setti ng sho uld be the same with other wire less de vices in the sa me network.
You ca n se lect “64 bit” or “128 bit” le ngth a nd “He xadecimal” or “ASCII” format fo r the e ncr yptio n ke y. Longer ke y le ngth can pro vide stronge r sec urity but worth communicatio n per forma nce. Enter fo ur ke y va lues b y following the r ules below a nd select o ne ke y as the defa ult ke y. y PassPhrase – A passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for the print server.
Whe n “WPA-shared ke y”, also named “WPA-PSK” req uires users to se lect the ad va nced e ncr yp tion methods, i.e. TK IP and e nte r a se t o f s hared ke y. y TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. y Shared Key – Enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for the authentication within the network.
You ca n se lect to let the pri nt ser ver automa tically obtain IP setti ngs with DHCP clie nt or manua lly assign the IP settings . If yo u ma nually assign the IP settings , yo u ha ve to e nte r IP address, s ub net mask a nd defa ult gatewa y address.
