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.
