Installation in a Wireless LAN
General Setup Information
Communication mode
By selecting the communication mode you define the type of network structure
the print server is to be installed in. Two modes are available:
- In the 'Ad-Hoc' mode, the print server communicates directly with another
WLAN Client (peer-to-peer).
- The 'Infrastructure' mode is suitable for setting up large wireless networks with
several devices in different rooms. Communication between the devices is done
via an access point which is connected to the network. The access point may be
protected by encryption or authentication.
SSID (Service Set Identifier)
The SSID is a wireless network identifier. Each Wireless LAN has a configurable
SSID serving to uniquely identify the wireless network. The SSID is defined at the
access point of a Wireless LAN and needs to be adopted by all PCs and print
servers that are meant to have access to the respective network.
