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.

Don't select this mode in your wireless adapter configuration software or on the Wireless Server Configuration screen. s 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. 58 Configuration Settings

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
be the same 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.
