Ricoh AP2610N setup guide Infrastructure mode

❖infrastructure mode

This is the mode for transmitting via an access point. If an SSID *1 and WEP *2 are set in the access point, you must set the same values for the access point and IEEE 802.11b. By connecting the access point to Ethernet, you can trans- mit the current network environment. See p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b (Wireless LAN)”.

*1

*2

This is called a Service Set ID and is used in the connection between the wireless LAN client and the access point. Only a wireless LAN client and an access point that have the same SSID can transmit to each other. (The character strings to be set are in the range ASCII 0x20-0x7e and the SSID is case-sensitive to 32 bytes.)

This is used to protect coded wireless data transmission. To transmit between wireless LAN clients and the coded access point, you must set the same WEP key as the printer. (You can set only 10 hexadecimal characters.)
