•SSID (Service Set Identifier). In the SSID field, enter the name of your wireless network. This is the unique name shared by all devices in a wireless network. The SSID is case-sensitive and should have 32 characters or fewer.

•Channel No. If your network is set to ad-hoc mode, select your network’s channel setting from the Channel No. drop-down menu.

•Network Type. The Network Type setting shows a choice of two wireless modes. Select Infrastructure if you want the PrintServer to communicate using an access point or wireless router. Select Ad-Hoc if you want the PrintServer to communicate without using an access point or wireless router.

•WEP Encryption. If you want to enable WEP encryption for greater wireless security, click the Enable radio button. If you want to disable WEP encryption, keep the default, Disable. From the WEP Authentication drop-down menu, select your wireless network’s authentication type. The default is set to Open System, for which the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. You can also choose Shared Key, when the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. This setting should match the one on your network’s access point or wireless router.

In the WEP Keys section, select the level of WEP encryption, 64 bits or 128-bits. From the drop-down menu, select the Default Key used by your wireless network. This indicates which WEP key your network uses for WEP encryption. In the Key1 (hex) to Key4 (hex) fields, enter your network’s WEP keys. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
