After Initial Setup If you have successfully configured the HP Jetdirect wireless print server with a network connection to your network, but your network computers are unable to communicate with the printer (including a "ping" command), try the following: ● Print a Jetdirect configuration page and verify all configuration settings for your network. Common errors include incorrect entries for the following items: ■ Communication Mode (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure) ■ Network Name (SSID), which is case-sensitive ■ Authentication method ■ Encryption level, encryption key entries, or the specified transmit key ■ IP address ■ BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier), which distinguishes one wireless LAN from another even though they have the same SSID. ● Verify that the printer is within range of the network. See "Improving Reception and Performance" in this chapter. ● Use a wireless PC and its utilities to confirm the signal strength at the printer's location. The detected signal strength should be similar for the print server, as indicated on the HP Jetdirect configuration page. 5-6 Troubleshooting

5-6 Troubleshooting
After Initial Setup
If you have successfully configured the HP Jetdirect wireless print
server with a network connection to your network, but your network
computers are unable to communicate with the printer (including a
“ping” command), try the following:
Print a Jetdirect configuration page and verify all configuration
settings for your network. Common errors include incorrect entries
for the following items:
Communication Mode (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure)
Network Name (SSID), which is case-sensitive
Authentication method
Encryption level, encryption key entries, or the specified
transmit key
IP address
BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier), which distinguishes one
wireless LAN from another even though they have the same
SSID.
Verify that the printer is within range of the network. See
“Improving Reception and Performance” in this chapter.
Use a wireless PC and its utilities to confirm the signal strength at
the printer’s location. The detected signal strength should be similar
for the print server, as indicated on the HP Jetdirect configuration
page.
