Wireless network settings
Field
Description
Wireless Status
Status of the wireless network:
Disabled: the wireless 802.11b/g network is disabled when
the wired 802.3 network is active. This is the default setting.
Initializing: the wireless network is initializing.
Scanning: the printer is scanning for a network name
(SSID) on all channels.
Ready: the printer has established an association with a
wireless network. If the network uses authentication, the
printer has successfully authenticated.
Error: a network error has occurred that prevents the printer
from associating or authenticating with the wireless access
point. (This applies to infrastructure mode only.)
Additional explanations might include one of the following:
No signal detected: the printer could not detect a wireless
signal. The printer will try to recover without user
intervention.
Scanning for SSID: the printer is scanning for an SSID
(network name) on all channels. The problem could be that
an incorrect network name was entered or that the access
point is down. The printer will keep trying to find the
network.
Authentication in progress: the network is trying to
authenticate the printer.
Authentication failed: authentication failed because of an
incorrect user name or password, or because the
authentication type was not recognized or accepted by the
access point. Check the
Authentication Type
parameter to
see whether link-level authentication or server-based
authentication failed.
Encryption required: encryption is required on this network,
but is not enabled on the printer.
Communication
Mode
An IEEE 802.11 networking framework in which devices or
stations communicate with each other:
Infrastructure: the printer communicates with other network
devices through a wireless access point, such as a wireless
router or base station.
Ad-hoc: the printer communicates directly with each device
on the network. No wireless access point is used. This is
also called a peer-to-peer network. On Macintosh
networks, ad-hoc mode is called computer-to-computer
mode.
Network Name
(SSID)
Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters)
that differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN)
from another. The SSID is also referred to as the Network
Name—the name of the network to which the printer is
connected.
