Additional scanner and printer setup 62 Connecting the scanner to a wireless network using the Embedded Web Server Before you begin, make sure that: • Your scanner is connected temporarily to an Ethernet network. • A wireless network adapter is installed in your scanner and is working properly. For more information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter. 1 Open a Web browser, and then type the scanner IP address in the address field. Notes: • View the scanner IP address on the scanner control panel. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123. • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly. 2 Click Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless. 3 Modify the settings to match the settings of your access point (wireless router). Note: Make sure to enter the correct SSID, security method, preshared key or passphrase, network mode, and channel. 4 Click Submit. 5 Turn off the scanner, and then disconnect the Ethernet cable. Wait for at least five seconds, and then turn on the scanner. 6 To verify if your scanner is connected to the network, print a network setup page. In the Network Card [x] section, see if the status is Connected. Changing port settings after installing a new network Internal Solutions Port When a new Lexmark Internal Solutions Port (ISP) is installed in the scanner, the scanner configurations on computers that access the scanner must be updated since the scanner will be assigned a new IP address. All computers that access the scanner must be updated with this new IP address. Notes: • If the scanner has a static IP address, then you do not need to make any changes to the computer configurations. • If the computers are configured to use the network name, instead of an IP address, then you do not need to make any changes to your computer configurations. • If you are adding a wireless ISP to a scanner previously configured for an Ethernet connection, then make sure the scanner is disconnected from the Ethernet network when you configure the scanner to operate wirelessly. If the scanner is connected to the Ethernet network, then the wireless configuration completes, but the wireless ISP is inactive. To activate the wireless ISP, disconnect the scanner from the Ethernet network, turn off the scanner, and then turn it back on. • Only one network connection is active at a time. To switch between Ethernet and wireless connection types, turn off the scanner, then connect the cable (to switch to an Ethernet connection) or disconnect the cable (to switch to a wireless connection), and then turn the scanner back on. For Windows users 1 Open a Web browser, and then type the scanner IP address in the address field.
