Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless Multiport Print Server User Manual

Wireless Function

Here, the wireless capabilities of the Print Server can be enabled or disabled manually (by clicking in the appropriate circle). Since the Print Server cannot operate both wirelessly and through an Ethernet network simultaneously, when the Print Server is first powered up, it automatically detects whether it is con- nected to an Ethernet network. If so, it will run in wired mode, with the wire- less mode disabled. If no Ethernet network is detected, the Print Server enables wireless mode and disables wired mode. Activating “Auto” (the default selection) allows the Print Server to automatically enable or disable wireless mode.
