2Connect to the printer via the serial cable and a communications program (such as HyperTerminal). Ensure your communications software matches the baud rate displayed in the configuration label generated in Step 1. For help connecting the printer to a PC, see “Serial Cable Communications” earlier in this guide.
3Reset the printer to the factory network defaults by typing the following two commands in the serial communication program window:
!U1 DO “device.restore_defaults” “wlan”
!U1 DO “device.restore_defaults” “ip”
4Set the eSSID of the printer to match your wireless network by issuing the following command:
! U1 SETVAR “wlan.essid” “my essid”
where “my essid” is the eSSID of your wireless network. Please note the values must be enclosed in double quotes. If you do not know what the eSSID of your network is, please contact your network administrator for assistance.
5Set the printer’s operating mode to ad hoc by issuing the following command:
! U1 SETVAR “wlan.operating_mode” “ad hoc”
6Set the encryption mode of the printer to off via the following command:
! U1 SETVAR “wlan.encryption_mode” “off”
7If a unit in your ad hoc network is acting as a DHCP server, issue the following command to enable DHCP supported on the printer:
! U1 SETVAR “ip.dhcp.enable” “on”
If your network does not use DHCP, you need to issue the following commands to disable DHCP and provide the proper IP settings:
!U1 SETVAR “ip.dhcp.enable” “off”
!U1 SETVAR “ip.netmask” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
!U1 SETVAR “ip.addr” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
