Wireless print server support

In addition to adding device support for several new wireless devices (for a complete list of the printers and print servers that MVP supports, see Supported devices), MarkVision Professional

11.0provides the ability to setup and configure the Lexmark N8050 wireless print server for use on your network.

MarkVision Professional 11.0 includes a new WLAN task and a new WLAN device policy option to manage the wireless settings for supported print servers attached to the network. The WLAN task and device policy let an administrator enter or edit the wireless settings for a supported print server, and then transfer the settings to the supported devices.

The WLAN task and device policy can support wireless configurations for both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) modes, as well as WEP and WPA-PSK security modes.

In addition, for security modes that utilize CA certificates as part of an authentication mechanism, an additional task called Install CA Certificate is available to install CA Certificates on devices.

2Click New and select For Any Print Server, and then click Next.

3Under Print Server Policy, expand the WLAN nodes.

4Enter the SSID, BSS Type, Channel, and Wireless Security Mode for the device. For more information on your wireless settings, see your wireless network documentation.
