Network Usage Modes
With the optional Cisco Wi-Fi card installed, the controller supports the
following usage modes:
Wired Ethernet LAN
To use the wired Ethernet LAN only, disable the optional Cisco Wi-Fi card.
Wireless LAN Using Cisco NIC
To use the wireless card only, disable the embedded Ethernet NIC. The
wireless card supports both Infrastructure and Ad Hoc network types.
Wired Ethernet LAN and Wireless LAN
You can use the embedded Ethernet NIC and the Cisco Wi-Fi NIC to
connect to the LAN. In this case, you can have all network protocols
enabled on both NICs simultaneously. The wireless NIC must be
configured for the Infrastructure network type.
Wired Ethernet LAN and Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networking
You can use the embedded Ethernet NIC to connect to the LAN while the
Cisco Wi-Fi NIC communicates with another client that is not on the
network. In this case, you can have all network protocols enabled on both
NICs simultaneously. The wireless NIC must be configured for the Ad Hoc
network type.
Wireless Configuration
To communicate, two wireless devices must have the same Service Set
Identifier (SSID). They must also use the same frequency or channel. You
can configure these and other settings at the copier control panel or
through Printer Utility.
Generally, you can change the wireless network settings without
rebooting the controller. This includes changing from one AP to another
by changing SSID. However, if the APs are connected to different
networks, a controller reboot is necessary.
