●
Infrastructure Mode: Associated with an access point and authenticated on the
network.
●
Ad Hoc Mode: Wireless communications established directly with other network
devices (access points are not used in this mode).
Initializing: The print server is booting up, performing self-tests, and verifying internal
communications.
Scanning: The print server is scanning for the specified network. The following status
or error messages can display:
● Infrastructure Mode: The print server is scanning on all channels for a network
(access point) with the specified SSID.
●
Ad Hoc Mode: The print server is scanning on all channels for a network with the
specified SSID, or has created a workgroup to which no one has joined.
Error: A wireless connection error has occurred that prevents association or
authentication with an access point (infrastructure mode), or prevents a connection to
an ad hoc network. The following status or error messages can display.
Status/Error Messages
●
NO SIGNAL DETECTED: (Infrastructure Mode only) The print server did not find
an access point and did not detect a radio signal.
●
SCANNING FOR SSID: The print server is scanning on all channels for devices
on the specified SSID. Check your specified SSID, or check the status of the
access point (Infrastructure mode) or other wireless devices.
The print server continues to scan for the specified SSID.
●
AUTHENTICATION IN PROGRESS: Link-level authentication is in progress. In
Infrastructure mode, server-based authentication might also be in progress.

AUTHENTICATION FAILED. The HP Jetdirect print server cannot access the
network because of an authentication error. The error depends on the
authentication method used. Verify the authentication method using the
"Authentication Type" field.
● ENCRYPTION REQUIRED: Encryption is required on this network, but encryption
is not enabled on the HP Jetdirect print server. Verify encryption configuration.
