ADAPTER,

manufacturer's installation guide.

WIRELESS

To configure Wireless Ethernet Interface, configure the ethernet

and wireless IP addresses so they can be seen on the network.

 

This includes several network-related settings (e.g., an IP address

 

within TCP/IP environments) configured through the built-in

 

command shell, npsh, or from the control panel.

 

IP Address Configuration

 

You can set the wireless Ethernet Interface IP settings from the

 

printer control panel.

CAUTION

When the printer is first powered on, the message

 

“ETHERNET INITIALIZING” displays on the control panel. To

 

prevent a loss of Ethernet Interface configuration information,

 

do not change the Ethernet Interface settings while this

 

message displays. When the initialization is complete,

 

“ETHERNET IS READY” displays, and you can safely change

 

the Ethernet Interface settings from the control panel.

 

You need to set both the ethernet and wireless network IP

 

addresses according to the TCP/IP environment that the printer is

 

connected to. There are four parameters accessed from the printer

 

control panel that are IP address related. These parameters are

 

located in the "ETHERNET ADDRESS" menu and the "WIRELESS

 

ADDRESS" menu:

 

IP Address

 

This is the host for IP addresses that have four segments. They are

 

displayed as SEG1, SEG2, SEG3, and SEG4 which can be set to

 

any value in the range of 0 to 255.
