Description
"Ad Hoc" (or peer-to-peer) is a wireless communication topology
in which the wireless devices on a network communicate directly
with each other. Access Points are not used. Other terms used for
Ad Hoc mode include Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), and
"computer-to-computer" mode.
The factory-default mode configured on the HP Jetdirect print
server is Ad Hoc. To initially communicate with the print server,
your wireless computer must be set up for Ad Hoc mode.
(Ad Hoc mode only) The channel selection identifies the radio
frequency that the print server will use to broadcast its availability
if it fails to associate with the specified Ad Hoc network on any
channel.
By factory default, channel 11 (2462 MHz) will be used. However,
channel 10 (2457 MHz) is also available.
"Infrastructure" is a wireless communication topology in which
communications to and from each wireless network device go
through an Access Point. An Access Point is a device, like a
gateway or Base Station, that receives and forwards wireless
communications to other network devices. Typically, an Access
Point connects wireless devices to a cabled network.
Infrastructure mode is the preferred topology for large networks.
Other terms used for Infrastructure mode include Basic Service
Set (BSS), "star topology", and "enterprise mode".
Specify or select the name of the wireless network to which the
HP Jetdirect print server will connect. The Network Name is also
called the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and identifies the ESS
(Extended Service Set) that is normally associated with larger
Infrastructure Mode networks. The print server will list detected
SSIDs.
An empty (or "blank") SSID field is accepted, for example, on
networks that rely on signal strength, encryption and
authentication methods to control network access.
The factory-default SSID configured on the HP Jetdirect print
server is "hpsetup". To initially communicate with the print server,
your wireless computer's SSID must also be "hpsetup". (Note: the
SSID characters are case-sensitive. Be sure to use the
appropriate lower- or uppercase characters.)
