Planning Your Network

Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two ways: Ad-Hoc and
Infrastructure Network. The WA739P has built in an Access Point. It
should be configured as Infrastructure network or Wireless Client
Print Server.

Infrastructure Wireless LANs

Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it
includes an access point. Unlike the ad-hoc structure where users on the
LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an infrastructure network the access
point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization.

Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless LAN to
access an existing wired network, allowing w ireless users to take advantage
of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and
printer sharing. Multiple access points can provide wireless coverage for an
entire building or campus.
Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc
networking:

Extended range:

access point can communicate with other wireless LAN computers within
range of the access point.

Roaming:

through a building and still be connected to the LAN.

Wired to wireless LAN connectivity:

between wireless LANs and their wired counterparts.

the access point enables a wireless LAN computer to move

each wireless LAN computer within the range of the

the access point bridges the gap

Microcells and Roaming

Wireless communication is limited by how far signals carry for given
power output. WLANs use cells, called microcells, similar to the cellular
telephone system to extend the range of wireless connectivity. At any point
in time, a mobile PC equipped with a WLAN adapter is associated with a
single access point and its microcell, or area of coverage. Individual
microcells overlap to allow continuous communication within wired network.
They handle low-power signals and “hand off” users as they roam through a
given geographic area.

A Group of Wireless nodes and Access Point compose a Basic
Service Set (BSS). A unique ID in a BSS is essential. All wireless nodes
configured without roaming options in a BSS must be configured with the

4 - 6

Internet Printer Connection and HP Web JetAdmin

BSS ID and the same radio channel. More than one BSS can be configured
as an Extended Service Set (ESS). It allows users to roam freely within an
ESS. All wireless nodes within one ESS must be configured with the same
ESS ID and use the same radio channel

Tips on wireless LAN configuration

When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following

points:

• Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the
distance between access points is not too far. In most
buildings, WLAN cards operate within a range of 100 ~ 300
feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls.

• Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal.
If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may be
that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install
another access point to circumvent this problem.

Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts

•

that interfere with WLAN transmission.

Click Next to configure SNMP Protocol or Click Save &
Restart to reboot your Wireless Print Server.

SNMP Setup

TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely
used in the industry as a solution for remote network management
and monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a

6 - 19

Network Print Monitor

protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of database
objects. The database objects are contained in a standard
database called Management Information Base (MIB) that is stored
on the networking device called SNMP agent. The Wireless Print
Server's SNMP implementation runs in a TCP/IP environment.

A host on the network running Network Management System
(NMS) software can access the Wireless Print Server device by
reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The
Network Management Systems are available from many third-party
vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.

When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the Wireless Print
Server using NMS software called SNMP manager, you need to
provide a community name in each SNMP request for
authentication purpose. The Wireless Print Server supports up to
two community names. The default community name is public
(case-sensitive), with Read Only access right in default.

When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent
alerts the SNMP manager through SNMP traps. Following list
summaries SNMP trap messages that the Wireless Print Server will
send out.

Activities/SNMP Trap Messages Description
Link Up or Link Down When the network interface on the

Wireless Print Server fails, a link
down trap message is generated;
if the network interface comes
back to life, a link up trap message
is sent.

Cold Start or Warm Start When the Wireless Print Server

restarts, the cold start or warm
start trap message is generated.

Authentication Failure When the Wireless Print Server

received a SNMP request with a

message is generated.

In the Wireless Print Server's SNMP implementation, the
following MIB objects are available for updating.

MIB Object Names Description

administrator's name.

system.sysName Indicates the Wireless Print

Server's name for identification.

system.sysLocation Indicates the location of the

Basic TCP/IP Installation Overview

When installing your Wireless Print Server in a TCP/IP
environment, IP addresses are essential as a basic means of
communications. It is therefore necessary to first assign an IP
address to your Wireless Print Server unit. After assigning an IP
address, the Wireless Print Server can be configured accordingly.

Assigning an IP Address

The first step to install a Wireless Print Server on a TCP/IP network
is to assign the Wireless Print Server an IP address and other
related TCP/IP settings before the Wireless Print Server can
function. You can select the following two methods to specify an IP
address the Wireless Print Server. Each method will be detailed in
the following section.

1. Use the Network Print Monitor utility.

2. Manually specify (using DOS commands or UNIX
text-mode commands. This applies to Windows NT/2000
and UNIX systems).

Note: The Network Print Monitor can only search for the Wireless

Print Server(s) over the same network segment the Windows
NT/2000/UNIX computer is located. You would like to install
a Wireless Print Server on a different network segment.

General Troubleshooting Overview

The most common problems, which cause the Wireless Print Server
to perform improperly, are covered in this chapter. If a problem still
exists after reading this chapter, please contact your dealer for
technical support.

LED Light Indicators

The Wireless Print Server is equipped with three LED lights to assist
in diagnosing problems that are the result of the network and/or the
Wireless Print Server hardware itself.

Power (Red)

When this light is on, the Wireless Print Server unit is properly
connected to the power adapter.

Status (Orange)

When the Wireless Print Server unit is powered on, the Status LED
will flash five times as part of the unit’s Power On Self Test (POST).
This indicates that the Wireless Print Server hardware is properly
configured. This LED, however, may flicker whenever the data are
being transmitted and printed.

Note: Make sure that the Orange LED flashes five times (POST)

upon connecting the power. If the unit does not flash five
times, contact your dealer for a replacement or repair.

9 - 19

Troubleshooting

Flow/Link (Solid Green)

If the network cabling is Twisted-Pair Cable, and when this light is
ON, the Twisted-Pair cable connection is problem free.

Cable Related Problems

In most cases, the Wireless Print Server fails to send and receive
network data due to incorrect use of the network cable and/or to
connector problems. Twisted-Pair Cable is 10BaseT/100BaseT
8-wire Unshielded Twisted-Pair Cable. The pin assignments for the
RJ-45 connector used for this cable must conform to the UTP cable
specifications.

Power Related Problems

The Wireless Print Server requires an external AC power adapter in
order for it to function. If you have a power problem, check to see
whether the power cord or its connectors are damaged. More
importantly, check to see that the AC power adapter included with
the Wireless Print Server matches the AC voltage in your country or
area. Using an incorrect AC adapter will damage your Wireless
Print Server.

Print Port Related Problems

Printing data failure may be caused by a loose connection of the
Wireless Print Server to the Centronics parallel port of the printer.
Check to see if any of the pins on the 36-pin connector are
damaged. In addition, check the cable connection. If the pins are
damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement connector.
