English Connect the printer to a wireless only network NOTE NOTE This section contains information about connecting the printer to a wireless only network. For more information about wireless networking, see the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer Wireless User Guide. The printer cannot be connected to a wired and wireless network at the same time. For example, if the printer is set to a wired network, you cannot also connect it to a wireless network. It is highly recommended that you implement a wireless security scheme (either Wired Equivalent Privacy [WEP] or Wi-Fi protected access [WPA]) prior to setup. In addition, use an antivirus program to protect against computer viruses, and follow basic security rules. Other network components, including firewalls, intrusion-detection systems, and segmented networks, should also be considered as part of the network design. NOTE Networking information and components Installing the printer to a wireless network requires networking information and networking components. Networking information Obtain the following information from the system administrator or the person who installed the network: ● The network's network name (SSID): the SSID identifies a particular wireless network. In order to operate on a network, any connecting device must know the network name. ● The network's communication mode: either infrastructure or ad-hoc. In infrastructure mode, the printer communicates with network computers through a wireless access point (WAP) or a base station. The access point acts as a central hub or gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices. In ad-hoc mode, which is sometimes called peer-to-peer mode, the printer communicates with the computer directly, rather than through a WAP or base station. Each device on an ad-hoc network must have a wireless network adapter. For maximum performance, HP recommends connecting the printer to a network that communicates using the infrastructure mode. ● The network's security settings (if used): WEP and the WEP key used, authentication method (Open, Shared Key, or Pre Shared Key [PSK]), and Encryption (none, WEP, or WPA).
