2 Configuring the EtherWind 802.11b and IP Settings Configuring the EtherWind There are three basic steps required to configure the EtherWind: 1. Configuring the EtherWind 802.11b settings. To operate on an 802.11b network, you must set the wireless (ad-hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel, data rate and WEP encryption. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the same settings in order to communicate with each other. 2. Configuring the IP address settings. You will need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and router address if you are using TCP/IP, NetBIOS IP, or PrintraNet, or if you want to use the WebXAdmin web-based management utility. 3. Configuring the EtherWind for operation with the network operating systems. The final step is to configure the EtherWind so that you can print to it using one or more network operating systems (for example, Windows NT/2000, NetWare, AppleTalk, etc.). Before You Begin  Make sure that you have properly configured your computer for communication on a wireless network. If you are connecting to the printer through an access point, make sure your computer is in infrastructure mode and it is associated with the access point. If you are printing directly to the printer without an access point, you should be in ad-hoc mode. See the documentation for your wireless adapter for instructions. Note: If your wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 Ad-hoc, you must select it if you want to use the printer in ad-hoc mode. If it doesn't include 2-1

Configuring the
EtherWind 802.11b
and IP Settings
Configuring the EtherWind
There are three basic steps required to configure the EtherWind:
1.
Configuring the EtherWind 802.11b settings.
To operate on an 802.11b net-
work, you must set the wireless (ad-hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel, data
rate and WEP encryption. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the
same settings in order to communicate with each other.
2.
Configuring the IP address settings.
You will need to set the IP address, subnet
mask, and router address
if you are using TCP/IP, NetBIOS IP, or PrintraNet,
or if you want to use the WebXAdmin web-based management utility.
3.
Configuring the EtherWind for operation with the network operating systems.
The
final step is to configure the EtherWind so that you can print to it using one
or more network operating systems (for example, Windows NT/2000,
NetWare, AppleTalk, etc.).
Before You Begin
Make sure that you have properly configured your computer for communica-
tion on a wireless network. If you are connecting to the printer through an
access point, make sure your computer is in infrastructure mode and it is asso-
ciated with the access point. If you are printing directly to the printer without
an access point, you should be in ad-hoc mode. See the documentation for
your wireless adapter for instructions.
Note:
If your wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 Ad-hoc, you must
select it if you want to use the printer in ad-hoc mode. If it doesn’t include
