Introduction 1-7
Channels
IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless LANs specify a spectrum of
radio waves for wireless communications. The allowed spectrum is
divided into channels consisting of 22 MHz each. The number of
available channels authorized for use may be restricted based on
your location (see Appendix B.).
When shipped from the factory, the HP Jetdirect print server is
configured for Ad Hoc mode operation using channel 10. In most
cases, manual configuration of the channel is not required.
■
If the print server is powered on and discovers a wireless
network whose SSID (network name) is also “hpsetup”, it will
automatically adjust its channel to match that network.
■
If the print server is reconfigured for Infrastructure mode, it will
automatically adjust its channel to match the Access Point.
Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode is a wireless network topology where all
wireless communications goes through an Access Point.
Infrastructure mode is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), and
sometimes referred to as “enterprise mode”. On Apple networks,
Infrastructure mode is called Airport Network mode. When set in
this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs from
wireless and cabled network computers through an Access Point.
Access Point
Infrastructure mode:
a wireless topology that
uses an Access Point for
connection to a wired
network
