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.
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 3: Desktop computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet • A desktop computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless access point (wireless router). • The network has no connection to the Internet.
How do I attach the installation cable? The installation cable attaches to a USB port on the computer and to the square connector on the back of the printer. This connection allows you to configure the printer for a networked or locally attached installation. 1 Attach the large, rectangular connector to any USB port on your computer. USB ports may be on the front or the back of the computer, and may be horizontal or vertical. 2 Attach the small, square connector to the printer.
The following table compares the characteristics and requirements of the two types of wireless networks.
How can I improve wireless signal strength? A common reason wireless printers fail to communicate over a network is poor wireless signal quality. If the signal is too weak, too distorted, or blocked by an object, it cannot carry information between the access point and the printer. To determine if the printer is receiving a strong signal from the access point, print a network setup page. The Quality field indicates the relative strength of the wireless signal the printer is receiving.
Turn off these potential sources of interference where possible. Avoid using microwaves and cordless phones when printing over your wireless network. If another wireless network is operating in the vicinity, change the wireless channel on the access point. Do not place your access point on a printer. Printers can also interfere with the wireless signal. ARRANGE THE NETWORK TO REDUCE SIGNAL ABSORPTION Even when the wireless signal is able to pass through an object, it is slightly weakened.
What is a MAC address? A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment. The MAC address may also be called the physical address because it is connected to the hardware of a device instead of its software. The MAC address is displayed as a hexadecimal number in this format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB. Every device capable of communicating on a network has a MAC address.
What is TCP/IP? Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other, either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission rules called protocols. A protocol can be thought of as a language, and like a language, it has rules allowing participants to communicate with each other.
For Mac OS X version 10.4 and earlier a From the Show pop-up menu, select AirPort. b Click TCP/IP. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100. How to locate a printer IP address • You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page. How are IP addresses assigned? An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP.
