Wireless NIC Configuration Using

The Control Panel

NOTE: The Access Point must be configured according to the manufacturer's installation guide.

To configure Wireless NIC card, 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.

NOTE: It is not necessary to configure the Ethernet IP address if only WLAN NIC is installed.

IP Address Configuration

You can set the wireless NIC IP and other parameters from the front panel. Refer to the NETWORK SETUP menu in the User’s Manual for more information.

CAUTION When the printer is first powered on, the message “E-NET INIT” displays on the control panel. To prevent a loss of NIC configuration information, do not change the NIC settings while this message displays. When the initialization is complete, “E-NET READY” displays, and you can safely change the NIC settings from the control panel.
