Subject:
Enabling Wireless Encryption Protection (WEP) for C80WN and Windows 2000
This bulletin was created to inform you of a procedure to guide you through configuring
WEP on the C80WN Print Server system.
Windows 2000 Instructions
Requirements:
You will need the "SSID" and "IP Settings" for your wireless network. The SSID
information is available in the properties of the wireless Ethernet interface on the
computer. The IP settings can be viewed by typing IPCONFIG from the command
prompt on the computer. Refer to the Access Point/Base Station's documentation for
the SSID if necessary.
Enabling WEP Encryption:
Note: To successfully enable WEP, the main item on the Print Server and Access
Point/Base station CONFIGURATION menu is the type of WEP key - "Open" or
"Shared" Key Type.
If The Epson Wireless Print Servers firmware is version 3.91 or earlier, the print server
defaults to Open with no selection for Shared key type. Some Access Points, Proxim for
example, default to Shared key type (other manufacturers may also) and would need to
be set to Open key type. Refer to the documentation for your Access Point hardware to
determine where the setting for the Key Type is found. If the Key Types are not the
same between the print server, computer and Access Point, the Host and Print Server
will not handshake properly.
communication fails and a time-out occurs without any displaying any error messages.
Additionally, after the Print Server, Access Point and wireless computer are configured
on the same IP address segment and communicating properly, the printer/print server's
TCP/IP address must be changed to a TCP/IP address within the same IP address
segment in order to communicate and print. The Subnet Mask and Gateway address
must match also.
