3.Enable AMSDU Aggregation: Select this option to enable Aggregated Mac Service Data Unit (A-MSDU), which increases the maximum size of the frame transmission from 2,304 bytes to 7,935 bytes. This option applies only to the 802.11n wireless mode.

NOTE: You can use the Enable AMSDU Aggregation and Enable AMPDU Aggregation options separately or together.

4.Enable AMPDU Aggregation: Select this option to enable Aggregated Mac Protocol Data Unit (A-MPDU), which allows a maximum size of the frame transmission of 64 KB. This option applies only to the 802.11n wireless mode.

5.Enable Block ACKs: Select this option to enable block acknowledgements (ACKs), which allow each of the aggregated data frames to be individually acknowledged or retransmitted if an error occurs. This option applies only to the 802.11n wireless mode.

In the Communications section, specify the following options:

1.Network name (SSID): Enter the Service Set Identifier (SSID) to which the HP Jetdirect print server connects. The SSID identifies the extended service set (ESS) that is normally associated with larger networks in Infrastructure mode. The SSID is case sensitive.

The print server lists the detected SSIDs. An empty (or blank) Network name (SSID) field is acceptable for networks that rely on the 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, the SSID for the wireless device must also be hpsetup.

2.Infrastructure (access point): Select this option to allow wireless devices on the network to communicate by using an access point. To connect to the network, the settings on the wireless device must match the wireless connection settings for the access point. Select this option if the wireless devices must be in Infrastructure mode.

3.Ad-hoc(peer-to-peer): Select this option to allow wireless devices on the network to communicate directly with each other. Other terms used for Ad hoc mode include Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) and Computer-to-Computer mode. Ad hoc mode is the factory default configured on the HP Jetdirect print server.

Channel: Select the radio frequency the print server uses to broadcast its availability if it fails to associate with the specified ad hoc network on any channel. The factory default is channel 11

(2462 MHz). Channel 10 (2457 MHz) is also available. To initially communicate with the print server, the wireless device must be configured for Ad hoc mode.

In the Authentication and Encryption section, specify the following options:

1.No authentication or encryption: Select this option if device authentication or security is not required to access the wireless network.

NOTE: The network might continue to use WEP encryption keys for data privacy.

2.WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy):

●Authentication: Indicates the authentication mode for the specified WEP settings.

●WEP-Personal: Select this option if the devices on the wireless network use a shared encryption key (or a shared password value) for network access and communication. Each device on the network must use the same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11 WEP keys for encrypted network communications. If you select this option, specify the following settings to configure the WEP key:
