Wireless Configuration (TEW-P11G only) Wireless Mode The Print Server is a Wireless station, NOT an access point. Like other Wireless stations, they have 2 modes: • Ad Hoc mode - no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate directly with each other. This is the older standard, and requires that each Wireless station is set to use the same Channel. • Infrastructure (Default) - all Wireless stations connect to the Access Point. This allows connection to both other Wireless stations and the wired LAN. To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, the Wireless mode must be set to "Ad-hoc". In "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN cable will disable the Wireless interface.

The Print Server is a Wireless station, NOT an access point. Like other Wireless stations, they

other. This is the older standard, and requires that each Wireless station is set to use the
same Channel.

To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, the Wireless mode
must be set to "Ad-hoc".
In "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN cable will disable the
Wireless interface.
