Confirming Settings on your Access Point
When setting up the machine to be used over wireless LAN, the machine's network settings are
configured to match those of the access point. Therefore, if you are using wireless LAN, we
recommend that you confirm the necessary information on the access point before starting the setup
process. Check and fill in the table below.
SSID/network name
Stealth/closed network
*2
ANY-Rejection
Radio channel
Encryption
MAC address filtering
IP address filtering
Client-to-Client Blocking
*1
In the stealth mode, an access point hides itself by not broadcasting its SSID. The client must
specify the SSID set to the access point to detect it. For AirPort
this function.
*2
ANY-Rejection is a function of an access point to hide itself from and/or reject connection with
clients whose SSID/network name is set to "ANY".
*3
This machine supports the methods below. If you are using another method, change the WPA/
WPA2 settings on the access point and computers to match these.
Authentication method: WPA-PSK (WPA Personal) or WPA2-PSK (WPA2 Personal)
Encryption method: TKIP or AES
*4
If Client-to-Client Blocking is enabled, clients are not allowed to communicate with other clients
associated with the same access point.
Note
For information on how to confirm the settings of the access point, refer to your access point's instruction
manual or contact its manufacturer.
If Stealth (closed network) or ANY-Rejection function is enabled
We recommend you to disable it before starting setup.
If MAC address filtering is enabled
You must register the machine's MAC address to the access point before starting setup. To
confirm the MAC address of the machine, print the machine's network information. See "Printing
Out Network Setting Information" on page 75.
If IP address filtering is enabled
Disable the access point's IP address filtering function while setting up the machine. After setup is
complete, configure the machine to communicate with other devices and then turn back the IP
address filtering function on.
