You can enable/disable the wireless function and set 
parameters that are used for the wireless stations to 
connect to this print server from here. The parameters 
include  “Function”, “Mode”, “ESSID” and “Channel 
Number”. You can manually set the parameters of 
wireless LAN in this page or use the “Site Survey” 
function to automatically search for an available access 
point and associate with it. 
Function is for user to disable, enable or let the print 
server auto select to connect to the wired or wireless 
network.  
Auto – “Auto” is the default setting of the print server. At this mode, 
the print server will automatically decide to enable or disable the 
wireless function. When the print server starts up, it will auto-detect if 
the LAN port is connected to an active network by an Ethernet cable. 
If this is the case, the print server will run in Ethernet mode. If the 
print server is not connected to an active network by Ethernet cable, 
the print server will run in wireless LAN mode.  
 
Users can plug the Ethernet cable to the print server at the first, after 
configuring the print server features and wireless settings; they can 
unplug the Ethernet cable to enable the wireless connection. It makes 
the configuration much easier without creating the wireless 
connection in advance. 
 
Note: After you have set the wireless function, please remove 
the Ethernet cable and then re-plug the power jack of the print 
server to activate the wireless connection.
