R
• Router
A relay device to connect to another network.
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
