Wi-Fi Direct - Xerox VersaLink Series System Administrator Manual

Network Connectivity

Wi-Fi Direct

Wi-Fi Direct enables devices to connect with each other without requiring a wireless access point. You
can connect to your printer from a Wi-Fi mobile device such as a tablet, computer, or smart phone.
Wi-Fi Direct does not require manual configuration. The Wi-Fi Direct Protected Service (WPS) Name
and subnet address prefix generate automatically.
If the Device Name field is blank, the WPS Name field displays a default value. If the Device Name
field changes, the value for WPS Name then changes to the value of Device Name.
Notes:
• Wireless networking is available only on printers that have the optional Wireless Network Adapter
installed.
