Wireless Configuration

Models WPS-0100 & WPS-0100USB

The WPS-0100 and WPS-0100USB are Wireless stations, NOT access points. Like all other Wireless stations, they have 3 modes:

∙802.11 Ad Hoc mode - no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate directly with each other. This is the current standard.

∙Ad Hoc mode - no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate directly with each other. This is the older standard.

Of the two (2) Ad-hoc modes, "802.11 Ad Hoc" mode is recommended. If your Wireless LAN Card doesn't provide "802.11 Ad Hoc" mode, try "Ad Hoc" mode on the PC and "802.11 Ad Hoc" on the WPS-0100/7800. If this fails, select"Ad-hoc" mode on the LevelOne Printer Server.

∙Infrastructure (Default) - all Wireless stations connect to the Access Point. This allows connection to both other Wireless stations and the wired LAN.

The WPS-0100 and WPS-0100USB do NOT allow both a LAN connection and "Infrastructure" mode.

In "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN cable will disable the Wireless interface.

To use the LAN interface, "Ad-hoc" mode must be used.

unless the SSID is null or "any".

 

 

 

If its SSID is null or "any", a Wireless

 

 

 

station can join any Ad-hoc group.

 

 

 

But since the WPS-0100 and WPS-

 

 

 

0100USB are fixed devices (rather than

 

 

 

roaming), their SSID should not be

 

 

 

null or "any".

 

 

 

It's recommended to assign value to

 

 

 

SSID for WPS-0100 and WPS-

For a device like the WPS-0100 or

 

 

 

WPS-0100USB0 in a fixed location, it

 

 

 

is best to set them to the Channel

 

 

 

providing the least interference and

 

 

 

best performance.
