Connecting To A Wireless Network - Xerox B210 User Manual

Connecting to a Wireless Network

A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides the means to connect two or more devices in a local
area network (LAN) without a physical connection. The printer can connect to a wireless LAN that
includes a wireless router or wireless access point. Before connecting the printer to a wireless network,
ensure that the wireless router is configured with a service set identifier (SSID), a passphrase, and
security protocols.
If your router supports Wireless Protected Setup (WPS), you can use the WPS button on your device to
connect to the wireless network. If the device is connected to a wired network, you can configure
wireless settings using Xerox
Note:
• For networked devices, the printer uses either the wireless or the wired network
connection. Activating one network connection deactivates the other network
connection.
• Advanced enterprise networks require certificates loading prior to setup. For details, refer
to Security
Connecting to a Wireless Network Using Wireless Protected Setup (WPS)
If your router supports WPS, you can use the WPS button on your printer to simplify the process of
connecting your device to an available wireless network.WPS automatically sends the network
password to other devices with WPS capability.
To connect to a wireless network using the WPS button:
1. At your router, press the WPS button to enable discovery of new devices.
2. At the printer control panel, press the WPS button.
The device is connected to the wireless network automatically, without entering the network
password.
Connecting to a Wireless Network Manually
When connecting to a wireless network that does not include a WPS-compliant router, set up and
configure the printer manually. Before starting, you must get the setup and configuration information,
such as name and passphrase, from the router. After you collect the network information, you can set
up the printer from the printer control panel or from Xerox
easiest manual connection, use Xerox
Before you begin:
• The wireless router must be connected and properly configured for the network before you install
the printer. For details, see your router documentation.
• Use the instructions provided with your wireless router or access point to record the following
information:
