Connect the printer to a wireless network NOTE NOTE This section contains information about connecting the printer to a wireless network. For more information about wireless networking, see the HP LaserJet 1320nw printer Wireless User Guide. The printer cannot be connected to a wired and wireless network at the same time. 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. Select one of the following wireless printer installation methods: ● Windows wireless network infrastructure method. See Network components and procedure for Windows infrastructure network installation (recommended). ● Windows wireless network ad hoc (peer-to-peer) method. See Network components and procedure for Windows ad hoc (peer-to-peer) network installation (for advanced users). ● Macintosh wireless network infrastructure method (for Macintosh users). See Procedure for connecting to a Macintosh wireless network. NOTE Network components and procedure for Windows infrastructure network installation (recommended) This section contains information about the required networking components and a procedure for installing to a wireless network using the infrastructure method. HP recommends the infrastructure network mode installation. Network information Obtain the following information from the system administrator or the person who installed the network: ● The network's 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 security settings (if used): WEP and the WEP key used, authentication method (Open, Shared Key, or Preshared Key [PSK]), and Encryption (none, WEP, or WPA). ● The network's communication mode must be infrastructure network mode. 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. 16 Chapter 2 Setting up the printer ENWW
