Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network Connecting to a Wireless Network The ZebraNet Wireless Print Server is an Ethernet connectivity option for your printer. Rather than being connected to a wired Local Area Network (LAN) with physical wires, the printer communicates with a wireless LAN (WLAN) through a wireless card. Figure 2 shows the network architecture of a typical WLAN setup.
4 Introduction Third-Party Components Third-Party Components As shown in Figure 2, two critical WLAN components for ZebraNet Wireless Print Server operation are a wireless card and an access point. These components are not provided with the Wireless Print Server. Supported Wireless Cards A third-party PCMCIA wireless card is required for the printer to communicate with the WLAN.
Introduction Interaction between Wired and Wireless Print Servers Interaction between Wired and Wireless Print Servers Your printer can have both a wired and a wireless print server installed. One functions as the active print server, and the other is present as a backup in the event that the other loses functionality. Check for Wired Print Server Note • Only one print server can be installed in the S4M at one time, so this check does not occur.
6 Introduction Interaction between Wired and Wireless Print Servers IP Addresses The wired and wireless print servers will have two different IP addresses.
