Wireless Network Install Guide_ 1

Using a wireless network

Choosing your network connection

Typically, you can only have connection type between your computer and the machine at a
time. There are two types of network connections to consider.

• Wireless network without Access Point (Wi-Fi mode)

• Wireless network with an Access Point (Infrastructure mode)

How to print a network configuration report

You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network configuration
report.

Network configuration report printing process differs in model.
Refer to the User's Guide included on the Printer Software CD-ROM provided with the

machine.
You can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.
For example:

• MAC Address : 00:15:99:41:A2:78

• IP Address : 192.0.0.192

IP addresses

Every device in a network has a unique numerical address called an IP Address. Your
machine came with a Default IP address of 192.0.0.192, which you can verify by printing out
a Network Configuration Report or Configuration Report.

• DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for

the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network
Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has
changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report.

• Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your

computer. (See "Setting IP address" on page 4.)

In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this
address for you.

Wireless network name and Network Key

Wireless networks require higher security, so when an Access Point is first set up, a network
name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Key are created for the network.
Locate this information before proceeding with the machine installation.

Infrastructure mode wireless networksThis is an
environment generally used for homes and SOHOs. This
mode uses Access Point to communicate with the wireless
machine.

Wi-Fi mode wireless networks

This mode does not use Access Point, the wireless
computer and wireless machine communicates directly.

After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your computer
operating system, but first locate the Printer Software CD-ROM supplied with the
machine before proceeding.

Installing the wireless network

• With a network cable:

• With the control

Service program. (See "Setting a wireless network with network cable" on page 4

Some models may have different menu for installing the network or may not support this
menu at all. Refer to the user’s guide in Printer Software CD-ROM that comes with your
product.

You can set up a wireless network using the SyncThru™ Web

panel: You can set up a wireless network using the control panel.
