Configuring wireless network from syncthru web service

You must configure the appropriate network parameters to use your printer in a wireless network. You can use SyncThru™ Web Service, an embedded web site of your printer. This section gives you basic information on 802.11b/g network parameters which can be configured from the SyncThru™ Web Service.

You can configure basic wireless settings, such as SSID, Operation Mode and WPA Shared Key. You can retrieve basic settings by selecting a wireless network.

If you do not know about your wireless environment, please ask the network administrator.

Wizard mode

1.Prior to wireless network settings, you should set IP address for the machine first. See "Using the SetIP program" on page 27.

2.Enter your machine’s IP address as the URL in a browser and click Go to access the web site of your machine.

3.Click Network Settings and Wireless.

4.Select Wizard in Wireless Settings.

5.Click Next.

6.Select Network Name(SSID) in SSID Setup.

•SSID: SSID(Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access points and wireless devices attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.

•Operation Mode: Operation Mode refers to the type of wireless connections.

-Ad-hoc: allows wireless devices to communicate directly with each other in a peer-to-peer environment.

-Infrastructure: allows wireless devices to communicate with each other through an access point.

7.Click Next.

If wireless security setting window appears, enter the registered password and click Next.

•Operation Mode is Infrastructure:

-None: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s identity and data encryption are not required for your network. Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.

-Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication.

-WPA Personal: You can select WPA-PSK to authenticate the print server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared secret key (generally called Pre Shared Key passphrase) that is manually configured on the access point and each of its clients. This is suitable for users who want to use WPA but do not have a RADIUS server installed on their network.

•Operation Mode is Ad-hoc:

-None: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s identity and data encryption are not required for your network. Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.

-Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication.
