AXIS 5900 Introduction 5
Introduction
The AXIS 5900 is a print server that can be used for either wireless or wired printing and
can be installed either over the wireless LAN or using an Ethernet interface. When
operating wirelessly, the AXIS 5900 print server communicates either in ad-hoc mode,
where the workstation/laptop communicates directly with the print server or infrastructure
mode, where there is an 802.11b access point acting as a bridge between the
workstation/laptop and the print server.
802.11b Operating Modes
ad hoc mode (default)
Workstations and laptop computers
communicate directly over the WLAN.
Infrastructure mode
Workstations and laptop computers
communicate over the WLAN and the LAN
through an access point.
Note:
802.11b Security
Unauthorized access to the WLAN can be prevented by using WEP which is a security
protocol for encrypting data transmitted over the WLAN. When WEP is enabled, the
workstation or laptop attempting to access the WLAN must use a WEP key to authenticate
its data transmissions.
In Macintosh environments, the
ad hoc mode
is referred to
as
computer to computer mode
and the
infrastructure
mode
is referred to as
Airport network
