Connect Your Wlan Adaptor; Configure Your Network; Creating Or Rejoining A Network - Oki B2500 User Manual

You can be sure of perfect communication if
you use an approved adaptor in conjunction
with your PC.
All of the latest printer drivers for the
approved adaptor may be found on our
website together with further information.

Connect your WLAN adaptor

Your machine belongs to a new generation of terminals
that you can incorporate into a WLAN network using a
WLAN USB key.
Your machine's network radio adaptor
transmits data using the radio protocol IEEE
802.11g; it can also be incorporated into an
existing IEEE 802.11b network.
When connecting to your machine, only use
the approved adaptor. Other transmitting or
receiving adaptors may damage your device.
Irrespective of whether you use your machine
in an infrastructure or ad-hoc network, you
must set up certain network and security
parameters (for example, the Service-Set-ID
(SSID) and the WEP key). These must match
the network's specifications.
Plug your WLAN USB key into the USB port of your
machine.

Configure your network

We recommend that the settings of your
WLAN network should only be changed by a
person with a good knowledge of the
configuration of your computer.

Creating or rejoining a network

Before attempting to use a WLAN adaptor on your
machine, you must enter the parameters that will allow a
WLAN network to recognise your machine.
On your machine you will find simple instructions that
guide you step by step through the set-up of your network.
Just follow them!
