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

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.
Regardless 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 recognize your machine.
On your machine you will find simple instructions
that guide you step by step through the set-up of
your network.
