Note An HP Jetdirect wireless print server with factory-default settings (Ad Hoc mode) may be easily accessed by unauthorized clients. Therefore, it should not be powered on with factory-default settings longer than necessary, and any configuration changes that you make should be verified. Table 4.3 Item 802.11B Configuration Parameters (1 of 7) Description Ad Hoc (peer-to-peer) "Ad Hoc" (or peer-to-peer) is a wireless communication topology in which the wireless devices on a network communicate directly with each other. Access Points are not used. Other terms used for Ad Hoc mode include Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), and "computer-to-computer" mode. The factory-default mode configured on the HP Jetdirect print server is Ad Hoc. To initially communicate with the print server, your wireless computer must be set up for Ad Hoc mode. Channel (Ad Hoc mode only) The channel selection identifies the radio frequency that the print server will use to broadcast its availability if it fails to associate with the specified Ad Hoc network on any channel. By factory default, channel 10 (2457 MHz) will be used. However, channel 11 (2462 MHz) is also available. Infrastructure "Infrastructure" is a wireless communication topology in which communications to and from each wireless network device go through an Access Point. An Access Point is a device, like a gateway or hub, that receives and forwards wireless communications to other network devices. Typically, an Access Point connects wireless devices to a cabled network. Infrastructure mode is the preferred topology for large networks. Other terms used for Infrastructure mode include Basic Service Set (BSS), "star topology", and "enterprise mode". ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 113
