Networking basics This chapter provides information on the following topics: ENWW ● Manual contents and sources for support and information ● Wireless networking basics 1
Manual contents and sources for support and information NOTE Only the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer contains wireless capability. This manual is a supplementary document to the HP LaserJet 1022 Series Printer User Guide and to the HP LaserJet 1022nw Wireless Getting Started Guide. Both of these documents are included with the printer.
Wireless networking basics The HP LaserJet 1022nw printer has an internal HP wireless print server that supports both wired and wireless connectivity. However, the printer does not support simultaneous wired and wireless connections. To connect to a wireless network, the printer uses wireless protocol IEEE 802.11b/g that communicates data through radio transmission.
Infrastructure mode (preferred) In infrastructure mode, the printer communicates with network computers through a wireless access point (WAP) or a base station. The access point acts as a central hub or gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices. (Most access points have an integrated Ethernet controller to connect to an existing wired-Ethernet network.) If your printer connects through a wireless residential gateway that provides access point functions, choose infrastructure mode.
More advanced levels of security (such as Wi-Fi protected access [WPA] and Pre-shared key) are available through the printer’s embedded Web server. For introductory information about the embedded Web server, see Embedded Web server. For detailed information about using the features, see the embedded Web server online help. NOTE It is highly recommended that you implement a wireless security scheme (either WEP or WPA) prior to setup.
NOTE Up to four WEP keys might be used on a wireless network for transmission of data. For example, if you have three computers and an access point, each might be assigned a distinct key for transmitting data. However, the remaining keys must also be entered on each device so they can communicate with each other. The installation software for the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer provides the option to type one WEP key.
Support information for installing to a wireless network This chapter provides information on the following topics: ENWW ● Chapter overview ● Printer Wireless light ● Configuration page ● Embedded Web server ● Switching from wired to wireless ● Resetting the printer to the factory default settings 7
Chapter overview This chapter contains information that will be useful if you are installing the printer to a wireless network, or if you are changing printer or network settings after you have installed the printer. Specifically, this chapter contains a description of the printer Wireless light and the configuration page, and an overview of the embedded Web server (EWS).
Printer Wireless light The HP LaserJet 1022nw printer has an internal networking component that provides wireless connectivity. To view the status of the wireless communications, the printer contains a Wireless light. ENWW ● If the light is on, the printer is connected to a wireless network. ● If the light flashes, the printer is scanning for a wireless network. ● If the light is off, wireless networking is disabled.
Configuration page The printer includes an internal component that provides networking capability for both wired and wireless connectivity. This section contains a procedure for printing a configuration page, as well as a description of the general network and wireless network fields that display on the page. Printing a configuration page When the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the GO button until the Ready light starts blinking.
Field Description IP Address The printer's Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a static IP address, though this is not recommended. Manually assigning an invalid IP address during install will cause your network components to not see the device.
Wireless network settings Field Description Wireless Status Status of the wireless network: Communication Mode Network Name (SSID) ● Disabled: the wireless 802.11b/g network is disabled when the wired 802.3 network is active. This is the default setting. ● Enabled An IEEE 802.
Embedded Web server The embedded Web server provides a convenient way to manage your printer on a network. The embedded Web server is available for the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer over the Internal HP network connection. The following information applies to the embedded Web server: ● You do not need to install any software on the computer. You only need to have a supported Web browser. To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.
Information tab The Information tab contains the following pages: ● Device Status. This page displays the printer and supplies status. This page also displays product information such as the network name, network address, and model information. ● Configuration. This page shows information found on the printer Configuration page. Settings tab This tab allows you to configure the printer from your computer.
Switching from wired to wireless If the printer is communicating with a wireless network and you plug a LAN cable into the printer, it automatically switches to wired communications. For more information, see Embedded Web server.
Resetting the printer to the factory default settings Once the printer is configured for a network, its configuration settings are saved in its memory. Resetting the printer to its factory default settings will clear all the settings from the printer's memory for your network. This should only be done as a last resort when troubleshooting the printer. Resetting the printer to its factory default settings may require you to reinstall the printer software.
Problem solving This chapter provides information on the following topics: ENWW ● Solving problems that occur during installation ● Solving infrastructure mode problems ● Solving ad-hoc mode problems ● Solving general wireless networking problems 17
Solving problems that occur during installation This section contains solutions to problems that might occur while initially installing the printer to a wireless network. Computer is unable to discover a device 1. Verify that the following cables are connected properly: ● Power cables ● Cables between the printer and the hub or router ● Cables between the hub or router and your computer ● (If applicable) cables to and from your modem or Internet connection 2.
Printer not found screen appears during installation 1. Verify that the printer is turned on. 2. Verify that you have an active network connection. ● Look at the light on the network connector on the back of the unit. If the light is on, the printer is connected to a wired network. If the light is off, check the cable connections from the printer to the gateway, router, or hub to ensure connections are secure.
Verification fails at end of installation Possible problem: You are using advanced forms of encryption, such as dynamic encryption, WPA, or WPA-PSK, the encryption methods must be entered through the embedded Web server. For more information, see Embedded Web server. In dynamic encryption, each device has a different key and all keys change frequently. Dynamic encryption is much harder for an intruder to circumvent, since the keys are likely to change before the intruder can reverse engineer them.
1. Print a configuration page. To print a configuration page, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the GO button until the Ready light starts blinking. For more information, see Configuration page. 2. Enter either the URL or device IP address from the configuration page into the Address field on your Web browser. The EWS Home page appears, showing the printer device information. 3. Click the Networking tab. 4. Click the Wireless option. 5.
10. Create a new wireless profile with the following values: NOTE ● Communication mode: Ad Hoc ● Network name (SSID): hpsetup ● Encryption: disabled This is the default configuration for your printer’s internal networking component. 11. Activate the profile. When the configuration change is complete, the computer is ready to communicate on the printer’s network. (The computer is no longer part of its original network.
Installation software does not install correctly During a normal installation of the printer software, the following actions occur: ● The printer CD-ROM runs automatically ● The software installs ● Files are copied to your hard drive ● You are requested to plug in the printer ● You are requested to restart your computer ● The registration process runs If any of these actions did not occur, there might be a problem with the installation.
Solving infrastructure mode problems This section contains solutions to problems that might occur if the printer is connecting to a wireless network that communicates using the infrastructure mode. For more information, see Channels and communication modes. The printer cannot find the WLAN 1. Verify your access point is broadcasting its network name (SSID). a. See your access point User Guide and check the access point settings. b.
Solving ad-hoc mode problems This section contains solutions to problems that might occur if the printer is connecting to a wireless network that communicates using the ad-hoc mode. For more information, see Channels and communication modes. Printer cannot find your computer 1. Verify you have a functioning wireless ad-hoc network by using another wireless device. 2. Verify the printer is operational. For more information, see Solving problems that occur during installation. 3.
Solving general wireless networking problems For most wireless printing problems, the first step is to try printing a configuration page. To print a configuration page, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the GO button until the Ready light starts blinking. For more information, see Configuration page.
Printer has the wrong wireless network settings The printer's wireless network settings must match those of your network, which includes the following: ● Communication mode ● Network Name (SSID) ● Channel (ad-hoc networks only) ● Authentication type 1. Reconnect the cable. 2. Compare the network settings to those that appear on the printer's configuration page. To print a configuration page, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the GO button until the Ready light starts blinking.
Computer's wireless card is set to the wrong wireless profile A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given network. A single wireless card might have several wireless profiles (for example, one for home and one for the office). Open the configuration utility for the network card installed on your computer and verify that the profile selected is the profile for the printer's network. If not, select the correct profile.

Glossary 10/100 Base-T A technical term for Ethernet. 10/100 refers to the speed at which the Ethernet network functions. 10 indicates 10 megabits per second (Mb/s) for normal Ethernet, and 100 indicates 100 Mb/s for Fast Ethernet. 802.11a A type of wireless networking that provides up to 54 Mb/s transmission in the 5 GHz band. 802.11b A type of wireless networking that provides up to 11 Mb/s transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mb/s) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) A protocol used to automatically assign an IP address to each device on a network. DHCP server This server dynamically manages a pool of IP addresses for use on a network or the Internet. When a user logs in, the server “loans” the user an IP address for the duration of the network connection. When a user logs off, the IP address is returned to the pool for use by another device.
Gateway A dedicated device (router or computer) that connects two different networks. For example, a computer on an Ethernet network may act as a gateway between the network and the Internet. Host Name The name by which the printer identifies itself on the network. The printer's host name appears on the configuration page. Use the host name to open the printer's embedded Web server (EWS). Hub A simple device that acts as the center of an Ethernet network.
mDNS As an alternative to a Domain Name Server, a device issues a Multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS) notification to provide information regarding its service. The notification includes the type of service (such as printing), the name of the service (such as "your printer"), IP and port addresses, and other necessary information. Each device on the network receives the notification and stores the information in a personal DNS server.
SSID (Service Set Identifier) A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) attached to the header of packets sent over a wireless LAN. An SSID provides basic access control to a wireless network. It can also be used to logically segment a wireless subgroup of users and devices. An SSID prevents access by any client device that does not have the SSID. By default, an access point broadcasts its SSID in its beacon.
WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) A term used generically when referring to any type of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b/g, 802.11a, dual-band, or other. Any products tested and approved as "Wi-Fi Certified" are certified as interoperable with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers. Typically, however, any Wi-Fi product using the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz for 802.11b or 11g; 5 GHz for 802.11a) will work with any other Wi-Fi product, even if not Wi-Fi Certified.
