You can configure the following items:
SSID: When you select 'Search List', the wireless network
card on your printer searches for wireless networks in the
area and displays the results on a list. Select one from the
list. You cannot change ‘Operation Mode’ and ‘Channel’. If you
select ‘Custom’ from the list, you can configure the wireless
settings according to your needs and enter a name of up to
32 letters for your ‘Custom’ setting. ‘SSID’ is case sensitive,
so you need to change it carefully. Using the Scroll buttons,
find the alphabet you want and press the Enter button (
) .
When the cursor moves to the next input field, enter the next
letters the same as you entered the first letter. After you
entered the last letter of the name, press the Enter button
(
) once again to save the ID. The way to enter the key
number for the encryption key is the same as entering
letters.
Operation Mode: ‘Ad-hoc’ mode allows the wireless devices
to communicate directly with each other. This is the default
operating mode for the print server.
If your network uses an Access Point, you must reconfigure
the operation mode to ‘InfraStructure’. ‘InfraStructure’ mode
allows both wireless and cabled computers to send files to the
printer through an Access Point.
If you select ‘Auto’, the print server selects the operation mode
automatically according to the network cable’s connection
each time it boots up. If a network cable is detected, the print
server enters ‘Ad-hoc’ mode; if not, it enters ‘InfraStructure’
mode.
Channel: This option is available in the ‘Ad-hoc’ mode only.
In most cases, you will not need to change this setting. The
print server will scan all available channels for the specified
network and will adapt its channel to the one detected.
Default setting is 10.
Authentication: ‘Open System’ or ‘Shared Key’. The
Samsung print server is not configured for network
authentication (Open System). If required by your network,
the proper authentication method must be configured on the
print server.
Encryption: No data Encryption, 64 bits, or 128 bits. Default
setting is No data Encryption. If your network uses WEP
encryption keys, you must configure the encryption keys. You
can configure up to four keys. The active key must match the
value and active key position (for example, Key 1) configured
on other wireless devices.
- Using Key: Select the key to use in your network.
