Introduction
About Your Network Interface
The EpsonNet Wireless 802.11b/g and 10/100 Base Tx Ext. Print
Server is an external network interface that connect to the USB
port of an Epson device (such as a printer or all-in-one). These
network interfaces allow you to create a wireless or wired
connection respectively, between the Epson device and a local
area network.
When connected to a wireless network, a radio signal is
transmitted over the network whenever you send a job to the
device. Then the device prints or scans the file when the network
interface receives the radio signal directly from a computer or
from an access point.
This network interface is Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with
other 802.11-compliant products when connected to wireless
networks.
Because the network interface supports multiple protocols and
automatically detects protocols on your network, you can print
from Microsoft
®
OS/2 applications.
IBM
®
Windows®, Apple® Macintosh®, UNIX®, and
Use Easy Install to easily configure the network interface for use
on a TCP/IP network. If you are using Windows computer, you
can also set up the computer for printing and scanning with the
software.
Use EpsonNet Config, the configuration utility provided with
your product, to quickly and easily configure the network
interface to use a range of protocols such as TCP/IP, NetBEUI,
AppleTalk
®
, IPP, and SNMP.
Introduction 9
Note:
The EpsonNet Config utility configures the network interface to work
only with protocols that exist on your network. This does not imply that
you can use all of the above mentioned protocols on your wired or
wireless network, or operating system. The protocols that the network
interface can use may vary depending on the operating system and the
network configuration.

The IEEE 802.11g Communication Standard
The network interface supports the IEEE 802.11b/g
communication standard. It is compatible with other IEEE
802.11b/g compliant products.
An IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN (wireless local area network) operates
within the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It divides the 2.4 GHz into 13 or 14
channels using Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), and
uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance
(CSMA/CA) to avoid packet collision. Both CSMA/CA with
ACK and CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS are supported.
Wi-Fi certification
This wireless network interface is
Wi-Fi certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance
(WFA). The WFA certification ensures
full product interoperability with
other Wi-Fi certified products. For
more information on other Wi-Fi
certified products, go to
http://www.wi-fi.org.
Introduction 21
Wireless Environment
Operating modes
You can configure the network interface for the Infrastructure
mode or the Ad Hoc mode.
In the Infrastructure mode, both wireless and wired computers
can communicate through an access point to send data to the
network interface.
HUB
Note:
Some access points or routers support only the TCP/IP protocol. If you
use this product with a protocol other than TCP/IP, make sure the
protocols are supported by the access point or router.
Introduction 22
In the Ad Hoc mode, a network interface and computers
wirelessly communicate directly with each other, without using
an access point.
Security
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol for
wireless network. Data is encrypted using the WEP Key
providing the security of your wireless network. You must set the
same WEP Key to the network interface and the access point.
The network interface supports a 64-bit or 128-bit encryption key,
and you can use either hexadecimal or ASCII characters.
WPA-PSK (TKIP) is a Wi-Fi security with a strong encryption
algorithm as well as user authentication. It provides a high
security that user data remains protected and that only authorized
users may access the network.
WPA2-PSK (AES) is an encryption format that combines AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard), the newer format of WPA-PSK
(TKIP) and has the stronger encryption.
Introduction 23
Note:
The wireless transmission speed is reduced when WEP,
WPA-PSK(TKIP), or WPA2-PSK (AES) is enabled because time is
required for encryption and decryption.
SSID is a unique identifier to specify a wireless LAN. All devices
and access points connected to a specific wireless LAN must use
the same SSID to communicate with devices on the wireless LAN.
If the wireless LAN access point and the PC do not share the same
SSID they will not be able to communicate with each other.
Radio signal range
The data transfer rate of the network interface depends on the
environment where the network interface is located.
Note:
The wireless transmission speed decreases as the distance between the
network interface and the computer or the access point increases.
Terms and Concepts
2.4 GHz range -- the frequency spectrum assigned by the
organization such as IC to WLAN systems.
Access point -- a device which connects wireless LAN terminals
to a network, relaying signals between wireless devices or serving
as a bridge between wired and wireless networks.
Ad Hoc mode -- a mode that allows wireless LAN terminals to
communicate directly with each other without using a wireless
LAN access point.
AES -- Advanced Encryption Standard, an encryption standard
for WPA that is replacing WEP. AES provides stronger encryption
than TKIP.
Introduction 24
AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) -- a
technology that makes configuring connection
and security settings during wireless network
setup easier. For details on AOSS, see the Buffalo,
Inc. website at http://www.buffalotech.com/.
Configuration -- a prepared set of conditions for proper operation
of a device. Configuring the network interface is to prepare it to
work with protocols available on a network.
DHCP -- a dynamic host configuration protocol. It is a protocol
that assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
EAP -- Extensible Authentication Protocol, authentication
protocol used in the IEEE 802.1x standard.
EtherTalk --the communication protocol of AppleTalk governing
Ethernet transmissions.
ftp -- a TCP/IP application protocol for file transfer.
IEEE 802.1x-- an IEEE standard that provides authentication for
wired/wireless networks. IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g are
standards for the 2.4 GHz range of WLANs.
Infrastructure mode -- a wireless network mode. It allows both
wireless and wired computers to send print jobs to the device
through an access point.
lpd -- a TCP/IP remote printing protocol application.
Open system authentication -- a wireless access point
authentication protocol under which the wireless node submits
an authentication request to the wireless access point which
accepts the connection, essentially without authenticating it.
Pre-Shared key -- the basic key used to generate the encryption
keys used by WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES).
Introduction 25
Print queue -- a location where a print job is stored as a file, until
the network interface sends the job to the assigned device.
Protocol -- a rule that controls how data or information is
exchanged through a network. Computers and software cannot
communicate with each other using different protocols.
Roaming -- the ability to move the wireless station from one access
point to another without losing the connection or interrupting the
service.
Security type -- allows selections of a security level in
infrastructure mode appropriate to the user environment.
SSID (or ESSID) -- Service Set Identifier (or Extended Service Set
Identifier), a unique identifier to specify a WLAN. All devices and
access points connected to a specific WLAN must use the same
SSID. An ESSID is used for the network that extends among
multiple access points.
TCP/IP -- Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a
layer of protocols that provides communications between nodes
on a network.
TKIP -- Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, an encryption standard
for WPA that is replacing WEP. A distinctive feature is that the
shared key is changed at specified intervals.
WEP -- Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for WLANs
defined in the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. WEP provides security
by encrypting data over radio waves.
WEP key -- a shared key algorithm for encrypting data
Transmitted packets are encrypted with a shared key called the
WEP key. Decryption of encrypted packets by the recipient
requires the same WEP key that was used for transmission.
WLAN -- Wireless Local Area Network.
Introduction 26
WPA-PSK(TKIP/AES) -- a Wi-Fi encryption protocol with a
stronger encryption algorithm than WEP. The devices and access
points have to share the Pre-Shared key. The protocol that uses
AES is called WPA2-PSK and has the stronger encryption than
TKIP.
