Wireless
Configuration
Wireless Mode
The Print Server is a Wireless station, NOT an access point. Like other
Wireless stations, they have 2 modes:
■
Ad-Hoc - no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate
directly with each other. Each Wireless station should be set to use the
same Channel, although some Wireless stations will scan all channels
to find compatible ad-hoc groups they can join
■
Infrastructure (Default) - all Wireless stations connect to the Access
Point. This allows connection to both other Wireless stations and the
wired LAN.
To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, the Wireless mode must be
set to "Ad-hoc". In "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN cable will
disable the Wireless interface.
