Selected Device
This shows the name of the Print Server.
SSID
• If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set
Identifier).
• To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST use the same
SSID/ESSID. Change this value, or change the other Wireless
stations, to ensure each Wireless station has the same value.
• The default value is "null", so the Wireless station can join any
Ad-hoc group.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Channel No
The effect of this setting depends on the Network Type setting:
• In Infrastructure mode, this setting has no effect. The Channel is
selected automatically, to match the Channel used by the Access
Point.
• In Ad hoc mode, all Wireless stations MUST use the same
Channel number.
• In 802.11 Ad-hoc mode, Wireless stations will scan all Channels
looking for compatible groups to join. The Channel setting is used
as a default Channel.
If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow
data transfers) you may need to experiment with different channels.
