Safety information 5 Networking the printer General networking Networking overview A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be either wired, wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices. Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other. 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 For desktop computers, laptops, and printers to communicate with each other over a network, they must be connected by cables and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them. There are different ways a network can be set up. Five common examples appear below. Note: 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. Wired network example · 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. Internet Wireless network examples Four common wireless networks appear below: · · · · Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet Scenario 2: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet Networking the printer 6 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. Internet 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. Internet Networking the printer 7 Scenario 3: 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 4: 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. Finding the 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. If your printer has a factory installed internal wireless print server, the MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer. If you purchased the internal wireless print server separately, the MAC address appears on an adhesive label that came with the wireless print server. Attach the adhesive label to your printer so you will be able to find the MAC address when you need it. UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX Note: 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 MAC filtering is enabled in your router and you want to add a printer to your network, the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC filter list. Networking the printer 8 Printing a network setup page A network setup page lists your network configuration settings. Note: You can print a network setup page only when an internal wireless print server is installed in the printer. To print a network setup page: 1 From the control panel of the printer, press 2 Press . 3 Press 4 Press . 5 Press 6 Press A network setup page prints. or or or repeatedly until Setup is highlighted. repeatedly until Network Setup is highlighted. repeatedly until Print Network Setup Page is highlighted. Wireless networking IP addresses Finding 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 netwo ...
