GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Server Name
This is the name of the wireless print server. The default is XCD_xxxxxx (where
xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Ethernet address). You can choose any name for
this setting.
Password
This is the EtherWind Wireless Print Server configuration password. The default
is ACCESS, you can change it by entering a new one in this field.
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway (or Router)
If you are using DHCP on your network, the EtherWind will have acquired valid
IP Address settings at this point, and no further configuration should be required.
A valid IP address needs to be configured in order for use with Windows and the
NetBIOS port monitor. Consult with your network administrator if you are not
sure what to use here to use.
Wireless Mode
This is the wireless mode you select for your print server. Ad-Hoc (sometimes
referred to as Peer-to-Peer, Computer-to-Computer, 802.11 Ad-Hoc, IBSS com-
pliant Ad-Hoc) modes are used when your wireless enabled PC is printing straight
to the printer. Infrastructure mode is used when you have an Access point or base
station as the "hub" of your wireless network. Pseudo Ad-Hoc is only used for
testing and some older 802.11b implementations of Ad-Hoc.
RF Channel
The RF Channel is the wireless channel the print server uses to communicate. The
EtherWind will be able to automatically configure itself in most cases, but you
might need to manually set it to the same RF channel as the 802.11b wireless net-
work. This value must match for all nodes on a network to communicate with
each other.
SSID
This is the Service Set Identifier (Sometimes referred to as Network Name). This
value must match for all nodes on a network to communicate with each other.
Data Rate
This is the throughput speed in Mbps of the wireless Ethernet connection (1, 2,
