Communication mode On an "ad hoc" network, the network communication mode is set to ad hoc, and the printer communicates directly with other wireless devices without the use of a wireless access point (WAP). Network name (SSID) By default, the printer looks for an ad hoc network with the network name, or Service Set Identifier (SSID), "hpsetup." Wireless security settings The printer's factory default setting is open network and security (encryption) disabled. The printer will attempt to detect and automatically associate to open wireless network named "hpsetup". The network does not require security for authentication or encryption. All devices on the ad hoc network must: • Be 802.11-compatible • Have ad hoc as the communication mode • Have the same network name (SSID) • Be on the same subnet • Be on the same channel • Have the same 802.11 security settings Wireless profile switch The printer includes an 802.11 wireless profile switch so you can store settings for up to three 802.11 computers or networks. This allows you to easily move the printer from home to office or between any three wireless network environments. The "current" profile is the one associated with the current position (1, 2, or 3) of the wireless profile switch on the printer. For more information, see the onscreen user's guide on the Starter CD. 26
