Appendix 2: Enabling WEP/WPA in the AXIS OfficeBasic USB Wireless G

You may experience problems connecting to the AXIS OfficeBasic USB Wireless
G if your WLAN is Infrastructure-based (with an Access Point) and uses
WEP/WPA encryption and/or does not broadcast the SSID. Follow these
instructions to connect and install the AXIS OfficeBasic USB Wireless G print
server:
1. Switch the print server's DIP switch to DIAG mode.
2. Create a new profile or use an existing one on your laptop to connect to the
print server, as described in the Installation Guide.
3. Install and run AXIS OBW Wizard.
4. From the Select A Print Server screen, select your print server and click Next.
5. On the Change Settings screen select Yes and click Next.
6. On the Basic Wireless Settings screen keep Infrastructure (default) as
communication type.
7. Keep <ANY> as default SSID or change it to match your WLAN settings.
8. Keep Auto as default Data transmit rate or change it to match your WLAN
settings. Click Next.
9. On Security and WEP Encryption Settings screen, choose the appropriate
encryption method.
10. Choose Type (64-bit or 128-bit), Key Format (Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal)
and enter an Encryption Key to match your WLAN settings. Click Next.
11. In TCP/IP Settings, specify a fixed or dynamic IP address, then click Next. A
fixed IP address is highly recommended; select Specify an IP address and fill
the settings to match your WLAN settings. Click Next.
12. Click Next again to save your settings.
13. Click Cancel on the Select A Printer screen (as you are not going to install
a printer).
14. Switch the print server's DIP switch back to NORMAL.
15. From a workstation on your LAN, open a Web browser, enter the IP address
of your print server to verify the AP connection in the WEP/WPA encrypted
WLAN and press Enter. The print server's internal web pages will appear.
For detailed information about WEP/WPA settings, see Setup, on page 22.
