Kyocera KM-3035 IB-2x Quick Configuration Guide Rev 2.2 - Page 15

English AdminManager The Windows-based AdminManager utility may be used in either an IP or IPX environment to fully configure any of the IB-2x settings. AdminManager may be installed or run from the CD-ROM (Kyocera Mita Network Library or Kyocera Mita Software Library) by selecting Advanced Setup from the Configuration menu. KM-NET VIEWER Ongoing printer management and monitoring is often done with the Windows-based KM-NET VIEWER. KM-NET VIEWER allows advanced grouping, filtering, and sorting of multiple Kyocera Mita and other vendor printers or copiers. It provides several options for notification of printer warnings or errors and may be used to view or modify a wide variety of printer and IB-2x settings. KM-NET VIEWER is available on the provided CD-ROM (Kyocera Mita Software Library or Kyocera Mita Digital Library). Wireless Networking With the IB-22, all IB-21E networking functionality, including TCP/IP, NetWare, AppleTalk, Web based management, etc., is now available in a wireless network. The IB-22 supports wireless networking as defined by the 802.11b standard and will interoperate with other devices that support this standard. This section explains how to connect the IB-22 to your wireless network. Modes of Operation The IB-22 supports the following modes of operation: Ø Infrastructure: One or more Access Points (also called Base Stations) are used to create a wireless network and may also be used to connect the wireless network to a wired network. Ø 802.11 Ad hoc : Direct connection between wireless devices without using an Access Point. This mode uses the Service Set Identification (SSID). SSID acts as a logical network identifier. Ø Ad hoc: Direct connection between wireless devices without using an Access Point. This mode does not use the SSID. Ø Automatic: Automatically detect one of the modes above. This is the IB-22 default. Encryption Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol that is intended to provide wireless data with security equivalent to data on a standard wired network. WEP uses 64 bit (also called 40 bit) or 128 bit encryption; both of which are supported by the IB-22. IB-22 Automatic Configuration The IB-22 will automatically detect and connect to an 802.11b wireless network, except when: Ø The wireless network is using encryption, or Ø SSID broadcasts are disabled, or Ø The PC and the IB-22 are not set to the same channel when in Ad hoc mode, or Ø Multiple distinct wireless networks are accessible (the IB-22 may not connect to the desired network). If any of the above are applicable to your network, refer to the IB-22 Manual Configuration section. If automatic configuration can be used on your network, you only need to confirm that the IB-22 has made a successful connection. 16
