S
• Signal Strength
The strength of the signal received by the printer from the access point is indicated with a value from 0 to 100%.
• SSID
Unique label for wireless LAN. It is often represented such as a network name or an access point name.
SSID distinguishes one wireless LAN from another to prevent interference.
The printer and all clients on a wireless LAN must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The
SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up of alphanumeric characters. The SSID may also be referred to
by its network name.
• Stealth
In the stealth mode, an access point hides itself by not broadcasting its SSID. The client must specify the SSID set to
the access point to detect it.
• Subnet Mask
IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. Subnet Mask used to calculate the
Subnet Mask address from the IP address. A Subnet Mask is usually assigned by an access point or a DHCP server
of the router automatically.
Example:
IP Address: 192.168.127.123
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Subnet Mask Address: 192.168.127.0
