HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Configuration Parameters 1

Table 4.3	802.11 Configuration Parameters (1 of 4)
Item		Description
Ad Hoc		“Ad Hoc” (or peer-to-peer) is a wireless communication topology
(peer-to-peer)		in which the wireless devices on a network communicate directly
		with each other. Access Points are not used. Other terms used for
		Ad Hoc mode include Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), and
		“computer-to-computer" mode.
		The factory-default mode configured on the HP Jetdirect print
		server is Ad Hoc. To initially communicate with the print server,
		your wireless computer must be set up for Ad Hoc mode.
Channel		(Ad Hoc mode only) The channel selection identifies the radio
		frequency that the print server will use to broadcast its availability
		if it fails to associate with the specified Ad Hoc network on any
		channel.
		By factory default, channel 11 (2462 MHz) will be used. However,
		channel 10 (2457 MHz) is also available.
Infrastructure		“Infrastructure” is a wireless communication topology in which
		communications to and from each wireless network device go
		through an Access Point. An Access Point is a device, like a
		gateway or Base Station, that receives and forwards wireless
		communications to other network devices. Typically, an Access
		Point connects wireless devices to a cabled network.
		Infrastructure mode is the preferred topology for large networks.
		Other terms used for Infrastructure mode include Basic Service
		Set (BSS), "star topology", and "enterprise mode".
Select Network		Specify or select the name of the wireless network to which the
Name (SSID)		HP Jetdirect print server will connect. The Network Name is also
		called the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and identifies the ESS
		(Extended Service Set) that is normally associated with larger
		Infrastructure Mode networks. The print server will list detected
		SSIDs.
		An empty (or “blank”) SSID field is accepted, for example, on
		networks that rely on signal strength, encryption and
		authentication methods to control network access.
		The factory-default SSID configured on the HP Jetdirect print
		server is “hpsetup”. To initially communicate with the print server,
		your wireless computer’s SSID must also be “hpsetup”. (Note: the
		SSID characters are case-sensitive. Be sure to use the
		appropriate lower- or uppercase characters.)
Refresh		Click this button to refresh the list of network names detected by
		the print server.
