	wireless network settings
field		description
Wireless Status		Status of the wireless network:
		• Disabled: the wireless 802.11b network is disabled when the
		wired 802.3 network is active. This is the default setting.
		• Initializing: the wireless network is initializing.
		• Scanning: the HP PSC is scanning for a network name (SSID) on all
		channels.
		• Ready: the HP PSC has established an association with a wireless
		network. If the network uses authentication, the HP PSC has
		successfully authenticated.
		• Error: a network error has occurred that prevents the HP PSC from
		associating or authenticating with the wireless access point. (This
		applies to infrastructure mode only.)
		Additional explanations might include one of the following:
		• No signal detected: the HP PSC could not detect a wireless signal;
		no access point was found. The HP PSC will try to recover without
		user intervention.
		• Scanning for SSID: the HP PSC is scanning for an SSID (network
		name) on all channels. The problem could be that an incorrect
		network name was entered or that the access point is down. The
		HP PSC will keep trying to find the network.
		• Authentication in progress: the network is trying to authenticate the
		HP PSC.
		• Authentication failed: authentication failed because of an incorrect
		user name or password, or because the authentication type was
		not recognized or accepted by the access point. Check the
		Authentication Type parameter to see whether link-level
		authentication or server-based authentication failed.
		• Encryption required: encryption is required on this network, but is
		not enabled on the HP PSC.
Communication		An IEEE 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations
Mode		communicate with each other:
		• Infrastructure: the HP PSC communicates with other network
		devices through a wireless access point, such as a wireless router
		or base station.
		• Ad-hoc: the HP PSC communicates directly with each device on the
		network. No wireless access point is used. This is also called a
		peer-to-peer network. On Macintosh networks, ad-hoc mode is
		called computer-to-computer mode.
Network Name		Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that
(SSID)		differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN) from another. The
		SSID is also referred to as the Network Name—the name of the network
		to which the HP PSC is connected.
