For wireless infrastructure mode only: An access point, wireless router, or Apple AirPort base ● station. The HP Jetdirect 2700w USB Solution Print Server allows your printer to be accessible on a WLAN through a specific access point. In station (infrastructure) mode, an access point allows wireless devices to connect to your LAN (wired or wireless).
For support information, see Service and support on page For additional configuration information about HP print servers, including the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server, see the HP Jetdirect Print Servers Administrator’s Guide in Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF format. This guide is available at www.hp.com/go/jetdirect...
Upgrade the firmware on your printer/MFP. (See the printer/MFP's setup or user guide for firmware upgrade instructions.) After the firmware is upgraded, plug the USB connector on the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server into the printer/MFP's USB connector on the back of the device. Tighten the thumb screws and ensure that the print server is held securely in place.

● Verify that the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server is firmly attached to the printer/MFP. ● Turn off the printer/MFP, reinstall the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server, and turn on the ● printer/MFP. Check for any displayed messages. Verify print server operation...
Configure the print server using the HP Embedded Web Server You can now configure the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server by using the HP Embedded Web Server. This is done by accessing the IP address of the printer/MFP in which the print server is installed. The printer/MFP must be directly connected (wired) to your local network.
Refer to your printer/MFP documentation for instructions about printing configuration pages. For a description of messages that might appear on the HP Jetdirect configuration page, see the HP Jetdirect Print Servers Administrator’s Guide. HP Jetdirect configuration page...
After you have configured the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server, the settings are saved in memory. If you lose communication with the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server, or if it fails to operate properly, you might need to reset the print server to its factory-default configuration. This is called a cold reset.
The computer is within range of the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server. ● If the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server is in peer-to-peer mode, there are fewer than six devices ● total. If you are initially setting up the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server, and the connection fails after ●...
The HP configuration tools let you select channel 10 (default) or 11 on the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server. This channel is used by the print server to broadcast its network name (SSID) if it fails to detect and join an existing wireless network.

NOTE: HP recommends that you use infrastructure mode if you plan to use six or more devices. When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs directly from wireless computers. Channels IEEE standards for 802.11 wireless LANs specify a spectrum of radio waves for wireless communications.
WEP encryption, a change to the WEP key on an access point requires a manual change to the WEP key on each wireless device. HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support configuration of up to four static WEP keys, for either 40/64- bit or 104/128-bit encryption.
Infrastructure mode is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), and is sometimes referred to as enterprise mode. On Apple networks, infrastructure mode is called Airport network mode. When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs from wireless network computers through an access point.
On a client-server network, client computers send print jobs to a dedicated network server that controls the use of each installed printer. The HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs over the network under the network server’s control, or can automatically monitor print queues and de-spool print jobs from the network server.
Each device on a network must be identified by a unique network address for the specific network protocol used. On an IP network, network addresses are configured and stored on each HP Jetdirect print server during installation, and are listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. Hardware address Each device on a network contains a unique LAN hardware (or station) address that is assigned by the manufacturer of the device.
