Wireless Settings for client PCs
The FPS-1PW and FPS-1UW incorporate Wireless Stations for IEEE 802.11b devices. This
section is only relevant to users of the FPS-1PW and FPS-1UW.
To print to the FPS-1PW and FPS-1UW, Wireless stations must ensure that the fo llowing
Wireless Settings are correct.
Ad-hoc Mode
Infrastructure Mode
SSID
Must match the other Wireless stations,
(FPS-1PW or FPS-1UW) unless the
SSID is
null
or "any".
If its SSID is
null
or "any", a Wireless
station can join any Ad-hoc group.
Must match the Access Point.
Channel
Should match the other Wireless
stations (FPS-1PW or FPS-1UW).
However, when joining an existing ad-
hoc group, a Wireless station must use
the Channel in use, rather than its own
Channel.
Access Point sets the Channel
used.
Wireless stations
automatically locate the
correct channel.
WEP Settings
Must match the other Wireless stations.
(FPS-1PW or FPS-1UW)
Must match the Access Point.
To change these settings on your PC, use the software provided with your Wireless card.
If your PC's wireless settings are not correct, you will not be able to print to the FPS-1PW or
FPS-1UW via a Wireless connection.
