Once the connection has been established, proceed with creating a
certificate. See

Next, activate https in the print server for secure Web services, such as
WEP. See

•
The Axis Network Print Server must be restarted for the WLAN settings
to take effect. Disconnect and reconnect the Axis Network Print Server
Power Adapter to restart the AXIS 5900.
Note:
Once the print server’s connection to the network has been
established and verified, you can reset the workstation / laptop to
its original settings i.e. the network mode, SSID, WLAN channel
and WEP keys.
