Table 3-1 Factory default wireless settings Parameter Settings Communications Mode Ad Hoc Channel 11 Network Name (SSID) Authentication Encryption (WEP) hpsetup Open System [Disabled] Comments If your network uses a wireless router, access point, or Apple base station, reconfigure the Communications Mode of the HP Jetdirect print server to Infrastructure. (Ad Hoc mode only) Specifies the broadcast channel if the print server fails to connect to a network. In most cases, you will not need to change this setting. The print server scans all available channels for the specified network and adapts its channel to the one detected. Change the SSID on the print server to match your network. The SSID is case sensitive. The HP Jetdirect print server is not configured for network authentication. If required by your network, the proper authentication method must be configured on the HP Jetdirect print server. If your network uses WEP encryption keys, configure the encryption keys on the print server. You can configure up to four WEP keys. The active key must match the value and active key position (for example, Key 1) configured on other wireless devices. Optional wireless connection setup methods To use Telnet or the HP embedded Web server, first reconfigure your wireless computer to communicate using the HP Jetdirect factory-default settings, and then create an IP path to the default IP address (check the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the IP address assigned on the print server). To create an IP path, use one of the following methods: ● If supported, use a "route add" command from your system prompt (see your system help or documentation). ● Temporarily reconfigure your computer's IP address to match the default IP network of the HP Jetdirect print server. For example, if the print server IP address is 169.254.111.111, you could use 169.254.111.112 for your computer. Before modifying your computer's settings, you should record your current settings, or if possible, create a new profile for your temporary settings. ENWW Optional wireless connection setup methods 21
