When changes are made on the print server’s wireless channel and ESS-ID it
must correspond to the PC/Notebook channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless
communication.
Note 2:
The print server’s ad-hoc mode supports two modes (802.11 ad-hoc mode
and proprietary ad-hoc mode). You can position the DIP switch on the print
server to the mode you want to operate. Which option of the ad-hoc mode is
required depends on the operation of your print server. It depends on which
ad-hoc mode is supported by your wireless card driver on the PC/Notebook.
Some driver supports both modes, however, some driver support only one of
the modes. The names of each ad-hoc mode may not be consistent between
each wireless card vendor therefore you may need to try each of the ad-hoc
mode (80.211 mode and proprietary mode) and select the mode that can
communicate with each other.
