Samsung ML-1630W manual Using a wireless network, Configuring basic network settings

6After the installation is finished, a window appears asking you to print a test page and to register yourself as a user of Samsung machines in order to receive information from Samsung. If you so desire, select the corresponding checkbox(es) and click Finish.

Note

If your machine does not work properly after the installation, try to reinstall the printer driver. See Software section.

Using a wireless network

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.

Configuring basic network settings

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

Note

Prior to wireless network settings, you should set IP address for the machine first. See "Using SetIP program" on page 3.2.

1Enter your machine’s IP address as the URL in a browser and click Go to access the web site of your machine.

2Click Network Settings and Wireless.

3Select Wizard in Wireless Settings.

Note

If you want to set wireless network directly, select Custom.

4Click Next.

5Select 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.

6Click 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.

7Wizard Setup Confirmation window appears, please check your wireless setup. If the setup is right, click Apply.

8Click OK.

Note

If Operation Mode of Network Name(SSID) is Infrastructure, you must disconnect the network cable to activate wireless network after completing the network setting.
