Introduction 1-7
Channels
IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless LANs specify a spectrum of radio waves for wireless
communications. The allowed spectrum is divided into channels consisting of 22 MHz
each. The number of available channels may be restricted based on your location
(see
Appendix C
).
When shipped from the factory, the HP Jetdirect print server is configured for
ad hoc
mode
operation using channel 10. In most cases, manual configuration of the channel is not
required.
If the print server is powered on and discovers a wireless device whose SSID (network
name) is also
hpsetup
, it will automatically adjust its channel to match that network.
If the print server is reconfigured for
infrastructure
mode, it will automatically adjust
its channel to match the access point.
