Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other. For a device to be able to communicate wirelessly, it must have a wireless print server attached or installed that enables it to receive and transmit radio waves. Common home network configurations There are different ways a network can be set up. Some examples of common home network configurations are: · · · · · Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet Ethernet-connected devices with Internet Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet The computers and laptops in all five scenarios must be wired and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them so that they can communicate over a network. The printers in the following diagrams represent Lexmark printers with Lexmark internal print servers built in or installed in them so that they can communicate over a network. Lexmark internal print servers are devices made by Lexmark to enable Lexmark printers to be connected to wired or wireless networks. Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet · A computer is connected to a wireless router by an Ethernet cable. · A laptop and a printer are connected wirelessly to the router. · The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem. Scenario 2: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet · A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless router. · The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem. 20 Scenario 3: Ethernet-connected devices with Internet · A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected by Ethernet cables to a hub, router, or switch. · The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem. Scenario 4: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet · A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless access point. · The network has no connection to the Internet. Scenario 5: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet · A laptop is directly connected wirelessly to a printer without going through a wireless router. · The network has no connection to the Internet. 21 SSID SSID (Service Set identifier) is a setting on a wireless device that allows devices to join the same wireless network. It is sometimes called the network name. The SSID permits devices to communicate with each other. Signal strength Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or even other devices such as microwave ovens. Another factor is distance. The farther two wireless device are from each other, the more likely it is that the communication signal will be weaker. IP addresses An IP address is a unique number used by devices on an IP network to locate and communicate with each other. Devices on an IP network can only communicate with each other if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A unique IP address means no two devices on the same network have the same IP address. You can locate the printer's IP address by printing out the printer's network setup page. How to locate a computer's IP address 1 From the desktop, click Start Menu 2 Type ipconfig 3 Press Enter. The IP address is included in the information that appears. Programs Accessories Command Prompt. MAC address Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address. A list of MAC addresses can be set on a router so that only devices with matching MAC addresses can be allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If a customer has a MAC filter enabled in his router and wants to add a printer to their network, the printer's MAC address must be included in the MAC filter list. Printing a network setup page A network setup page lists your configuration settings. Note: You can print a network setup page only after a print server has been installed. To print a network setup page: 1 From the printer's control panel, press Settings. 2 Press 3 Press . or repeatedly until Network Setup appears. 22 4 Press 5 Press . 6 Press or repeatedly until Print Setup Page appears. again. Pinging the printer To test whether your computer can communicate properly with your printer on the same network, issue a ping command. 1 From the desktop, click Start Menu Programs Accessories Command Prompt. 2 Type the command ping followed by the IP address of the device. 3 Press Enter. · If the printer is on the network and responding to the ping, several lines appear that start with "Reply from". · If the printer is not on the network or is not responding, after several seconds "Request timed out." appears. If the printer does not respond: a b c d e Print a setup page. Check that the printer has an IP address. Under Network Card, check that the Status is listed as Connected. Check that the computer has an IP Address. For additional information, refer to the "Wireless troubleshooting" section of the "Troubleshooting" chapter. Types of wireless networks Networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. Lexmark recommends setting up a network in infrastructure mode using the installation CD that came with the printer. A wireless network where each device communicates with others through a wireless access point (wireless router) is set up in infrastructure mode. As is true with an ad hoc network, all devices must have valid IP addresses and share the same SSID and channel. In addition, they must share the same SSID as the wireless access point (wireless router). A simple type of wireless network is one where a PC with a wireless print server communicates directly with a printer equipped for wireless networking. This mode of communication is called ad hoc. A device in this type of network must have a valid IP address and be set to ad hoc mode. The wireless print server must also be configured with the same SSID and channel. Infrastructure Characteristics Communication Security Range Speed Requirements for all devices on the network Through wireless access point (wireless router) More security options Determined by range and number of access points Usually faster Restricted to range of individual devices on network Usually slower Directly between devices Ad hoc 23 Unique IP address for each Yes device Mode set to Same SSID Same channel Infrastructure mode Yes, including the wireless access point (wireless router) Yes, including the wireless access point (wireless router) Yes Ad hoc mode Yes Yes Infrastructure mode is the recommended setup method because it has: · · · · Increased network security Increased reliability Faster performance Easier setup 24 Learning about the printer Understanding the parts of the printer Use the 1 2 Paper support Wi-Fi indicator To Load paper.
