When The Optional Ieee 802.11B Interface Unit Is Installed - Ricoh Network Guide Network Manual

Appendix
When the optional IEEE
802.11b interface unit Is
Installed
When using the wireless LAN inter-
face on the network, note the follow-
ing:
❖ When moving the machine
Detach the antennas when relocat-
ing the machine locally.
After moving the machine, reat-
tach the antennas, ensuring that:
• The antennas are positioned clear
of obstacles.
• There is 40 to 60 mm between
the antennas, so that they do not
touch.
• The exposure glass cover and
the Auto Document Feeder
6
(ADF) do not knock the anten-
nas.

❖ If the network area provides poor ra-
dio environment
Where radio wave conditions are
bad, the network may not function
due to interrupted or failed con-
nections. When checking the wire-
less LAN signal and the access
point, follow the procedure below
to improve the situation:
• Position the access point nearer
to the machine.
• Clear the space between access
point and machine of obstruc-
tions.
• Move radio wave generating
a p p l i a n ce s , s u ch a s m i c r o-
waves, away from the machine
and access point.

check radio wave status, see p.13
"Checking the machine's radio
wave status".

point radio wave conditions, refer
to the access point manual.
