Configure your computer to communicate on a wireless network before you
continue.
♦
To connect a device using an access point, set your computer to
infrastructure mode.
♦
To connect directly to a device without an access point, set your
computer to Ad-Hoc Computer-to-Computer mode, or whatever mode your
adapter uses to communicate without an access point.
♦
To use Ad-Hoc mode, temporarily disable security on your access point.
After the print server is configured, re-enable security on the access
point.
♦
To use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or other advanced
security, such as WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), on your wireless
network, temporarily disable the security on your computer in order to
configure the print server. To allow non-secure clients to communicate
with each other, temporarily change the wireless mode of your host to Ad-
Hoc mode.
♦
To use TCP/IP, note your computer’s IP address. The print server needs
to be on the same IP segment as the other nodes on your network in
order to communicate.
♦
You need a good signal between your computer and the access point to
communicate.
