There are different ways a network can be set up. Five common examples appear below. Note: The printers in the following diagrams represent printers with internal print servers built in to them so that they can communicate over a network. Wired network example • A desktop computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected by Ethernet cables to a hub, router, or switch. • The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem. Internet Scenario 2: Desktop computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet • A desktop computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless router. • The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.
Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet • A laptop is directly connected wirelessly to a printer without going through a wireless router. • The network has no connection to the Internet. • This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network. Why do I need an installation cable? When setting up the printer on your wireless network, the printer will need to temporarily connect to a computer using the installation cable.
2 Attach the small, square connector to the printer. 3 Continue following the on-screen instructions. What is the difference between infrastructure and ad hoc networks? Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through a wireless router.
Same channel Infrastructure Ad hoc Yes, including the wireless access point (wireless router) Yes Lexmark recommends setting up a network in infrastructure mode using the installation CD that came with the printer. Infrastructure mode is the recommended setup method because it has: • • • • Increased network security Increased reliability Faster performance Easier setup Finding the signal strength Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals.
REMOVE OBSTACLES BETWEEN THE ACCESS POINT AND THE PRINTER The wireless signal from your access point will pass through most objects. Most walls, floors, furniture and other objects will not block the wireless signal. However, there are materials that are too dense for the signal to pass through.
What is an SSID? A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know the SSID of the wireless network or they will not be able to communicate with each other. Usually, the wireless network broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for security reasons. An SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
How do I find the MAC address? Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address. The MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer. UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX : XX UAA Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (router) so that only devices with matching MAC addresses are allowed to operate on the network.
How do I locate IP addresses? How to locate a computer IP address using Windows 1 Do one of the following: In Windows Vista a Click . b Click All Programs Accessories. c Click Command Prompt. In Windows XP and earlier a Click Start. b Click All Programs or Programs Accessories Command Prompt. 2 Type ipconfig. 3 Press Enter. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100. How to locate a computer IP address using Macintosh 1 Click System Preferences.
What is a key index? A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured on the wireless access point (wireless router). The printer is designed to use the first key.
