It is recommended that you initially configure the print server via a wired connection. However, if you
choose to configure the wireless print server for the first time from a computer via an 802.11b or 802.11g
wireless connection, you will need to temporarily change the settings on your computer to match the
default settings of the print server as follows:
Wireless Mode: Ad-Hoc (sometimes referred to as Peer-to-Peer)
Channel: 11
SSID (or wireless network name): printer
You should now be able to configure your print server using either the ExtendView Utility or the Web
Browser Configuration as described in the previous sections.
NOTE: Be sure to set your PC back to its original wireless settings after you finish configuring the wireless print
server.
NOTE: It is not necessary to change your computer’s settings if you are configuring the print server’s settings via an
Ethernet connection. The 802.11a wireless protocol cannot be used for this method of configuration.
NOTE: Refer to the wireless security supplement (provided in print with the wireless print server and is also
available from the TROY web site at http://www.troygroup.com/Support/Connectivity/Documentation/index.asp fo

wireless security configuration instructions.
