To configure Wireless NIC card, configure the ethernet and
wireless IP addresses so they can be seen on the network. This
includes several network-related settings (e.g., an IP address within
TCP/IP environments) configured through the built-in command
shell, npsh, or from the control panel.
IP Address Configuration
You can set the wireless NIC IP settings from the printer control
panel.
CAUTION
When the printer is first powered on, the message "E-NET
INIT" displays on the control panel. This process takes
approximately 1 to 2 minutes. To prevent a loss of NIC
configuration information, do not change the NIC settings
while this message displays. When the initialization is
complete, "E-NET READY" displays, and you can safely
change the NIC settings from the control panel.
You need to set both the ethernet and wireless network IP
addresses according to the TCP/IP environment that the printer is
connected to. There are four parameters accessed from the printer
control panel that are IP address related. These parameters are
located in the "Ethernet Address" menu and the "Wireless Address"
menu:
•
