Chapter 2 — Configuring EasyLAN Wireless
Setting Up to Configure EasyLAN Wireless
Configuring Your PC Wireless Adapter
Configuring From a UNIX Workstation
24
Use this chapter to learn how to configure advanced parameters or perform
maintenance configuration on EasyLAN Wireless using the web browser
interface and network-specific utilities, such as Novell NWAdmin utility.
Note: You can also configure EasyLAN Wireless with console commands
and HyperTerminal. For help, see Appendix A, "Console Commands."
If your PC has a wireless adapter, you must configure it to communicate
with EasyLAN Wireless before you can perform the tasks in this chapter.
• For communication through an access point, make sure your PC is in
Infrastructure mode and that it is associated with the access point. Also
make sure you have a good signal between your PC and the access point
or you are connected to the access point through an Ethernet network.
Most wireless adapters have a utility that shows the wireless signal
strength. For help, see your PC wireless adapter documentation.
• For communication directly to the printer without an access point,
make sure your PC is in Ad-hoc mode. For help, see your PC wireless
adapter documentation.
• If your PC wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 ad-hoc, you
must select it if you want to use the printer in Ad-hoc mode. If it does
not include this option, select Ad-hoc Computer-to-Computer or
whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate when you do not
have an access point.
If you are configuring EasyLAN Wireless from a UNIX workstation,
consider these points:
• To configure an IP address and network communications, you can use
either the web browser interface or the console commands through the
serial port or telnet. For help with console commands, see Appendix A.
• To configure a static IP address, you can use ARP (address resolution
protocol). For help, see "Using ARP in UNIX" on page 34.
• Any UNIX host computer that supports the Berkeley remote-LPR
command can spool jobs to EasyLAN Wireless without the need for any
special software on the host computer; for help configuring the print
queues, see "Configuring for UNIX" on page 60.
