Table 3-1 Factory default wireless settings
Parameter Settings Comments
Communications Mode Ad Hoc If your network uses a wireless router,
access point, or Apple base station,
reconfigure the Communications Mode
of the HP Jetdirect print server to
Infrastructure.
Channel 11 (Ad Hoc mode only) Specifies the
broadcast channel if the print server fails
to connect to a network. In most cases,
you will not need to change this setting.
The print server scans all available
channels for the specified network and
adapts its channel to the one detected.
Network Name (SSID) hpsetup Change the SSID on the print server to
match your network. The SSID is case
sensitive.
Authentication Open System The HP Jetdirect print server is not
configured for network authentication. If
required by your network, the proper
authentication method must be
configured on the HP Jetdirect print
server.
Encryption (WEP) [Disabled] If your network uses WEP encryption
keys, configure the encryption keys on
the print server. You can configure up to
four WEP keys. The active key must
match the value and active key position
(for example, Key 1) configured on other
wireless devices.
Optional wireless connection setup methods
To use Telnet or the HP embedded Web server, first reconfigure your wireless computer to communicate
using the HP Jetdirect factory-default settings, and then create an IP path to the default IP address
(check the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the IP address assigned on the print server). To create
an IP path, use one of the following methods:
●
If supported, use a “route add” command from your system prompt (see your system help or
documentation).
●
Temporarily reconfigure your computer’s IP address to match the default IP network of the
HP Jetdirect print server. For example, if the print server IP address is 169.254.111.111, you could
use 169.254.111.112 for your computer. Before modifying your computer’s settings, you should
record your current settings, or if possible, create a new profile for your temporary settings.
