IEEE802.11B (WIRELESS LAN)

6.3.3 TRANSMISSION MODE

The following transmission modes are provided for wireless communication.
Ad hoc Mode
G073D907.WMF
The ad hoc mode allows communication between each device (station) in a simple
peer-to-peer network. In this mode, all devices must use the same channel to
communicate.
In this machine, the default transmission mode is ad hoc mode and the default
channel is 11. First, set up the machine in ad hoc mode and program the
necessary settings, even if the machine will be used in the infrastructure mode.
To switch between ad hoc and infrastructure modes, use the following user tool:
Host Interface Menu - IEEE802.11b - Comm Mode
Infrastructure Mode
Access Point
G073D908.WMF
The infrastructure mode allows communication between each computer and the
printer via an access point equipped with an antenna and wired into the network.
This arrangement is used in more complex topologies.
• The wireless LAN client must use the same SSID (Service Set ID) as the access
point in order to communicate.
