Introduction The SX-600 Ethernet to Wireless Client Adapter allows you to easily add 802.11 b/g wireless capabilities to any Ethernet product. It is ideal for connecting Ethernet enabled printers, scanners, and multifunction printers (MFPs) to a wireless network without having to change drivers or management utilities. The SX-600 also brings 802.
Wireless Requirements The SX-600 allows you to connect to a wireless network consisting of either of the following: • An 802.11b/g-compatible wireless-enabled PC connected directly to the serial server (Ad-Hoc or Peer-to-Peer Mode). • An 802.11b/g-compatible wireless access point that allows wireless and wired Ethernet-enabled computers to connect to the serial server.
