Channels The band of radio signals used for IEEE 802.11b wireless networking are segmented into specific frequencies, or "channels". For IEEE 802.11b wireless networks, 14 channels are available. But each country/region specifies the channels that are authorized for use. For example, in North America, only channels 1 through 11 are allowed. In Japan, channels 1 through 14 can be used. In Europe, except for France, channels 1 through 13 are allowed. Because of frequent changes to existing standards, you should check with your local regulatory agencies for authorized channel use. Note that, in most countries/regions channels 10 and 11 may be used without restriction. Channel selection on the HP Jetdirect wireless print server depends on the Communication Mode (or topology) of the network. G In Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) Mode, the HP Jetdirect wireless print server will initially scan all channels for the network specified by the Network Name (SSID), for example hpsetup. If the specified Ad Hoc network is detected, the print server will configure and use the channel that the network uses. If the specified Ad Hoc network is not detected, the print server will actively transmit and advertise itself using a selected channel. By factory default, channel 10 (2457 MHz) will be used. However, channel 11 (2462 MHz) is also available. If the print server fails to associate with a network, it will repeatedly scan on all channels and then actively transmit on the selected channel (channels 10 or 11) until it associates with the specified network. G In Infrastructure Mode, the channel will be determined by the Access Point to which the print server connects. The HP Jetdirect print server, as with other clients, will adapt its channel to the one required. The channels available on your HP Jetdirect wireless print server depend on your print server model. For supported channels, see the documentation included with your HP Jetdirect wireless print server. ENWW HP Jetdirect 802.11b Wireless Print Servers 256
