Wireless Mode
Ad-Hoc (sometimes referred to as Peer-to-Peer, Computer-to-Computer,
802.11 Ad-Hoc, or IBSS compliant Ad-Hoc) modes are used when your wire-
less enabled PC is printing straight to the printer.
Infrastructure mode is used when you have an Access point or base station as
the hub of your wireless network.
Pseudo Ad-Hoc is only used for testing and some older 802.11b implementa-
tions of Ad-Hoc. Auto mode attempts connection with each of the other
methods in turn.
Note: If the options on your 802.11b enabled computer are Ad-Hoc, 802.11b Ad-
Hoc, and Infrastructure, use the following to determine the settings of the print
server:

WEP Key Index
This is which WEP key you want to use out of the 4 entered in the 128 / 64

128 Bit / 64 Bit WEP Key
This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP key that must match other nodes’ encryption keys
in order to communicate: 10 characters for 64 bit, or 26 characters for 128 bit.
The EtherWind uses a Hexadecimal value for WEP. All 802.11b devices have a
way of translating their WEP or Security values to 10 (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP)
or 26 (for 128-bit WEP) digit HEX values. Ask the manufacturer of your wireless
