connecting to the access point (or wireless router). b) : When the machine is successfully connected to the wireless network, the wireless LED light stays on. Re-connecting to the wireless network When the wireless function is off, the machine automatically tries to re-connect to the access point (or wireless router) with the previously used wireless connection settings and address. In the following cases, the machine automatically re-connects to the wireless network: • The machine is turned off and on again. • The access point (or wireless router) is turned off and on again. Canceling a wireless network connection process To cancel the wireless network connection function when the machine is connecting to the wireless network, press and release the Stop/Clear button on the control panel. You need to wait 2 minuites to re-connect the wireless network. Disconnecting a wireless network connection To disconnect the wireless network connection, press the WPS ( ) button on the control panel for more than two seconds. • When the Wi-Fi Network is in idle mode: The machine is immediately disconnected from the wireless network, and the wireless LED is off. • When the Wi-Fi Network is being used: While the machine waits until the current job is finished, the light blinks fast on the wireless LED. Then, the wireless network connection is automatically disconnected. The wireless LED is off. When the Wi-Fi Network is disconnected, press the WPS ( ) button on the control panel. The Wi-Fi network is on and the setting a wireless network begins. USING A WIRELESS NETWORK FROM THE COMPUTER Choosing your network connection Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the machine at a time. There are types of network connections to consider. • Wireless network without access point (Ad-Hoc mode) • Wireless network with an access point (Infrastructure mode) How to print a network configuration report You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network configuration report. To print the report: 1. In ready mode, press and hold Stop/Clear button on the control panel for long enough (about four seconds) until the Status LED blinks fast. 2. Then, release the button. Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC address and IP address. For example: • MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78 • IP Address:192.0.0.192 IP addresses Every device in a network has a unique numerical address called an IP Address. Your machine came with a Default IP address of 192.0.0.192, which you can verify by printing out a Network Configuration Report or Configuration Report. • DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report. • Static IP assignment: Use the SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer (See "Setting IP address" on page 31). In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you. Wireless network name and network key Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Key are created for the network. Locate this information before proceeding with the machine installation. Infrastructure mode This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs. This mode uses an access point to communicate with the wireless machine. • See "Installing the machine on a wireless network with an access point (Windows)" on page 38. • See "Installing the machine on a wireless network with an access point (Macintosh)" on page 40. Ad-Hoc mode This mode does not use an access point. The wireless computer and wireless machine communicates directly. • See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc wireless network (Windows)" on page 39. • See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc wireless network (Macintosh)" on page 41. After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your computer operating system, but first locate the software CD supplied with the machine before proceeding. Installing a wireless network with cables You can install a wireless network to connect to the machine with either a USB cable or a network cable. For most users, we recommend using a USB cable with the program provided in the supplied software CD. The following are two ways to install a wireless network with cables. • With a USB cable: You can simply set up a wireless network using the program in the supplied software CD. Only Windows and Macintosh operating system are supported (See "Setting a wireless network with USB cable" on page 38). You can also install a wireless network in Printer Settings Utility with USB cable after installing driver. (Windows and Macintosh operating system are supported.) • With a network cable: You can set up a wireless network using the SyncThru™ Web Service program (See "Setting a wireless network with Wireless network setup (SCX-3205W(K))_ 37
