Wireless Network Connection; Connecting To A Wireless Network Manually - Xerox B1025 System Administrator Manual

Wireless Network Connection

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.
Note: Before configuring wireless network settings, install the Xerox Wireless Network Adapter
Kit. For information, refer to the Hardware Install and Setup instructions that are included with
the kit.
