and Electronics Engineers.
y The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) B/G certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:
y Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or y In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as
harmful. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
NOTE
Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and may interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN devices simultaneously, you may occasionally experience a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection.
If you should experience any such problem, immediately turn off your Bluetooth or Wireless LAN device.

1 SETTING UP WIRELESS NETWORK

Before Setting Up Wireless Network

This product is a Wireless LAN Module using the 2.4 GHz spectrum diffusion system, and is compatible with IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11b for wireless LAN.
When the Wireless LAN is enabled, users can perform the following printing through the Wireless LAN:
y Raw TCP Printing from Windows computers y LPR Printing from Windows computers y LPR Printing from Macintosh computers y LPR Printing from UNIX/Linux workstation
The instructions on how to set up the client computers for Wi-Fi printing is same as the instructions for wired network
printing. For instructions on how to set up the client computers, please see Software Installation Guide.
y To access the equipment through the Wireless LAN from the client computers, the client computers must have the
Wireless LAN Module.
y When you enable the wireless network, the existing NIC (Network Interface Card) will be disabled. This equipment
cannot connect the wired network and wireless network at the same time.

Planning for installation

Before setting up the Wireless LAN Module for your wireless LAN, read through this section to understand the information that you require to set up the equipment in your wireless LAN.
Determine the network type
This Wireless LAN Module supports Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode.
Infrastructure Mode
Access Point
In the Infrastructure Mode, client computers can access to the equipment through a wireless network via an Access Point. The Infrastructure Mode is suitable for the wireless network that many client computers are connected at the same time. The Access Point will be required to establish the wireless network in the Infrastructure Mode.
Ad Hoc Mode
In the Ad Hoc Mode, client computers can access to the equipment directory through a wireless network without an Access Point. The Ad Hoc Mode is not suitable for the wireless network that many computers are connected, however, it is easy to establish the wireless network because the Access Point is not required.
10 Before Setting Up Wireless Network
1 SETTING UP WIRELESS NETWORK
1.SETTING UP WIRELESS NETWORK
Determine the SSID
In the wireless network, the same SSID (Service Set ID) must be assigned in each wireless device. Only wireless devices that have the same SSID assigned to them can communicate with each other through the wireless network.
In the Infrastructure Mode, the SSID is usually set in the Access Point. Therefore, you must set the same SSID in this equipment to communicate through the wireless network via the Access Point.
In the Ad Hoc Mode, you must assign the same SSID that is assigned to other client computers. To access the devices each other in the Ad Hoc Mode, the same SSID must be assigned to each device.
Determine the security mode
This equipment supports the following wireless security modes.
WPA/WPA2/802.1X
Using the WPA/WPA2/802.1X, you can restrict the access to the wireless network using the RADIUS server. The WPA/ WPA2/802.1X is available only when the wireless network is established in the Infrastructure Mode. There are two protocols for the WPA/WPA2/802.1X, EAP-TLS or PEAP. When using the EAP-TLS authentication, you must install user certification file and CA certification file (must be either DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7 encoding format) in the equipment. This equipment uses the user certification file (must be exported as a private key in PKCS#12 encoding format) to authenticate the access rights to the wireless network, and the RADIUS server authenticates this equipment using the user ID and password. When using the PEAP, you must install the CA certification file (must be either DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7 encoding format) in the equipment. This equipment uses the user name and password to authenticate the access rights to the wireless network, and the RADIUS server authenticate this equipment using the CA certification file.

WPAPSK/WPA2PSK
WPAPSK/WPA2PSK is an authentication method using the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) between the Access Point and other wireless devices. The WPAPSK/WPA2PSK authentication is available only when the wireless network is established in the Infrastructure Mode. To access the wireless network using the WPAPSK/WPA2PSK authentication, the same PSK Path Phrase must be assigned in both the Access Point and other wireless devices. If the PSKs are same between the Access Point and other wireless devices, the Access Point allows them to access the wireless network through the Access Point. WPAPSK/WPA2PSK has stronger security than WEP because the data encryption is improved over WEP. This equipment supports TKIP and AES (CCMP) encryption for the WPAPSK/WPA2PSK authentication. TKIP provides a different key for per packet with a message integrity check. This key will be changed for every fixed interval. AES is the next-generation cryptography algorithm that the U.S. government improves to replace the DES and 3DES. This authentication method is suitable for a small wireless network and easy to add the security because the authentication server is not required unlike the WPA/WPA2/802.1X. DYNAMIC WEP automatically and periodically updates the WEP key.
When using WPAPSK/WPA2PSK, it is recommended to use a secure password for WPAPSK/WPA2PSK.
Before Setting Up Wireless Network 11
1 SETTING UP WIRELESS NETWORK
WEP
The WEP is a data encryption method using the WEP key between the Access Point and other wireless devices. Compared with WPA/WPA2/802.1X and WPAPSK/WPA2PSK, the WEP is less security. If the wireless network is configured in the Infrastructure Mode and the Access Point supports WPA/WPA2/802.1X or WPAPSK/WPA2PSK, it is recommended to use WPA/WPA2/802.1X or WPAPSK/WPA2PSK rather than WEP. The WEP authentication is available for both the Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode.
