SSID Name that identifies your wireless network, equivalent to the network name on Macintosh. When you configure the print server in WP-Admin, it automatically detects the SSID (Service Set Identifier) for the wireless network. The SSID must match for all nodes on the network for them to communicate. The maximum number of characters that you can use in this field is 32. Wireless Mode Mode used by computers on a wireless network to communicate with the print server. WP-Admin detects this setting automatically, based on the mode set in your wireless adapter configuration software. To communicate, all computers must be set to the same wireless mode (or its equivalent, depending on your wireless adapter) as the print server. ■ Infrastructure-Used when computers on the wireless network communicate with the print server through an access point or base station. ■ Ad Hoc (802.11b)-Used when computers on the wireless network communicate with the print server directly, without using an access point or base station. ■ Pseudo Ad-Hoc-Used for testing. Don't select this mode in your wireless adapter configuration software or on the Wireless Server Configuration screen. ■ Auto-Default factory setting. Auto mode attempts connection with each of the other methods in turn. This mode enables the print server to detect all your other wireless network settings (for example, IP address, SSID, workgroup, etc.). If you move your print server to a different wireless network, you must press the test button on the back of the print server for at least five seconds to reset it to its factory defaults (including Auto mode). This enables the print server to detect the settings for the new network. WEP Key Disables or enables WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), which provides a level of security for your network. To communicate, all nodes on your network must be WEP-enabled and must use the same WEP key. See the documentation for your wireless adapter or access point for more information about WEP. If you have an AirPort network, see page 48. 56 Appendix A: Configuration Settings

Appendix A: Configuration Settings
SSID
Name that identifies your wireless network, equivalent to the network name on
Macintosh. When you configure the print server in WP-Admin, it automatically
detects the SSID (Service Set Identifier) for the wireless network. The SSID must
match for all nodes on the network for them to communicate. The maximum number
of characters that you can use in this field is 32.
Wireless Mode
Mode used by computers on a wireless network to communicate with the print server.
WP-Admin detects this setting automatically, based on the mode set in your wireless
adapter configuration software. To communicate, all computers must be set to the
same wireless mode (or its equivalent, depending on your wireless adapter) as the
print server.
Infrastructure
—Used when computers on the wireless network communicate
with the print server through an access point or base station.
Ad Hoc (802.11b)
—Used when computers on the wireless network
communicate with the print server directly, without using an access point or base
station.
Pseudo Ad-Hoc
—Used for testing. Don’t select this mode in your wireless
adapter configuration software or on the Wireless Server Configuration screen.
Auto
—Default factory setting. Auto mode attempts connection with each of the
other methods in turn. This mode enables the print server to detect all your other
wireless network settings (for example, IP address, SSID, workgroup, etc.).
If you move your print server to a different wireless network, you must press the
test button on the back of the print server for at least five seconds to reset it to its
factory defaults (including
Auto
mode). This enables the print server to detect the
settings for the new network.
WEP Key
Disables or enables WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), which provides a level of
security for your network. To communicate, all nodes on your network must be
WEP-enabled and must use the same WEP key. See the documentation for your
wireless adapter or access point for more information about WEP. If you have an
AirPort network, see page 48.
