wireless network setup

Note: In this configuration, it is recommended that you route the Internet connection directly through the access point using an Ethernet cable.

optimize your wireless network

For the best wireless coverage, consider where you place the access point, where you place the adapters, and how you adjust the antennas. Some recommendations are:

•Position the access point in line of sight to the wireless adapters, and in a central location within the area to be used for wireless communications. Try to position the access point in a place that is higher than networked computers and equipment.

•Position the access point away from other radio equipment operating at a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz (GHz), such as microwave ovens and cordless telephones.

•Keep your wireless equipment away from large metallic objects, such as computer cases, display monitors, and appliances, as well as other electromagnetic devices, such as televisions, radios, cordless telephones, and microwave ovens that might interfere with wireless transmissions.

•Position your wireless equipment so that large masonry structures, such as fireplaces, are not obstructing the radio path. Building construction, such as metal framing, ultraviolet-resistant window film, metallic paint, concrete or masonry walls, or multiple floors and walls reduce radio signal strength.

The instructions following under this heading address a first-time wireless installation.

Note: If you previously set up your HP PSC for direct connect (using a USB cable) and no longer want to use this connection type, uninstall the HP PSC 2500 Series software before proceeding. Disconnect the USB cable from your computer and the HP PSC. Use the instructions included in this section to connect your HP PSC to the network and reinstall the software. (The HP PSC 2500 Series will support both USB and network connections simultaneously.)

All of the devices on a wireless network must have similar wireless settings. This lets them talk to each other. When you first add your HP PSC to a wireless network, it cannot talk to the devices on the network. The HP PSC’s wireless network adapter must be configured to the same network name (SSID), wireless channel, and wireless security (WEP or WPA) key (if used) as the rest of the devices on the network.
