5 Manual configuration

The MarkNet N8050 internal wireless print server is shipped with default settings that let you configure it in Ad-Hoc mode by accessing the embedded Web page of the print server.

Because this configuration method does not use the Wireless Setup Utility or a direct USB connection to the computer, several of the wireless settings on both the computer and the network will need to be accessed. As a result, extensive knowledge of wireless network and computer settings will be needed to complete the configuration process.

Note: To configure the wireless print server by this method, the computer that is used to facilitate the configuration process must have a wireless network card.

Before configuring the wireless print server, make sure your printer has been set up correctly

The internal wireless print server option card has been installed correctly in the printer.

The toner or print cartridges are installed correctly.

Paper has been loaded into the printer.

The printer is turned on and ready to be installed.

For help setting up your printer, see your printer documentation.
