SX-WSG1 is a Wireless Adapter which supports IEEE802.11b/g and has the following features:
● Wireless printing directly from a digital camera is available (Camera Direct
Transfer function)
By connecting SX-WSG1 to the Digital Photo Printer which supports camera direct
transfer, the image data can directly be transferred and then printed from the digital
camera to the Digital Photo Printer via FTP.
* Only one Digital Photo Printer can be connected at a time.
* To use this function, Camera Direct Transfer mode needs to be selected at extended

● Share various USB devices using a PC (Device Server function)
By using SX-WSG1 and the bundled utility, SX Virtual Link, you can share USB devices
such as printers, scanners, storage devices among several PCs over the network (See
the supported OS below). You can use USB devices as if they were locally connected to
your PC.
* If a USB HUB is used, several USB devices can be connected at a time.
* To use this function, Device Server mode needs to be selected at extended function
setting.

About SX-WSG1
The device server function has the following features:
❍ Printer auto connection
SX Virtual Link has a feature that detects print jobs and then automatically
connects to, prints to and disconnects from the printer (or USB device with a print
capability) if it is connected to SX-WSG1. You will not have to manually connect to
the printer using the SX Virtual Link before you print a job.
❍ Supports Raw/LPR/IPP printing
SX-WSG1 supports Raw mode, LPR and IPP, three of the network printing
protocols commonly used by users. When a printer is connected to SX-WSG1, you
can also use standard Windows printing.
● Digital Photo Printer status
Since the operating status of the Digital Photo Printer is displayed on SX-WSG1's Web
page, you can always check the printer status as well as ink levels from your PC.
For details on the Digital Photo Printer, please visit the below website.
SONY's website:
http://www.sony.net/snaplab
● Support IEEE802.11b/g Wireless LAN standard
IEEE802.11b/g compliance allows sharing of various USB devices over the wireless
network.
In the wireless settings, WEP, WPA(PSK) and WPA2(PSK) can be selected. For
encryption mode, WEP supports 64/128 bit, WPA supports TKIP/AES/AUTO, and WPA2
supports AES/AUTO.
● Easy configuration utility
You can configure SX-WSG1 as well as install necessary utilities by answering questions
on the Wireless Adapter Setup, which is a wizard-style utility included in the CD-ROM
that came with SX-WSG1. Since SX-WSG1 has a wired LAN port (10BASE -T/100BASETX), an easy wireless LAN configuration based on the wired connection will be available.
Also, SX-WSG1 supports the configuration method using a USB memory, which allows
you to configure even if you do not have a wired LAN environment.

Do not use SX-WSG1 near a cellular phone, TV or Radio.
A cellular phone, TV, and radio use a different radio band than our products. Generally if they
are used near SX-WSG1, it will not cause a problem. However, when they approximate SXWSG1, sound or image noise can happen.
If there is reinforced concrete/metal between wireless devices, they may not connect.
SX-WSG1 can connect through wood or glass, but can have trouble communicating
through reinforced concrete/metal.
