To use the device with any wireless connection, you must run the installation program
at least once from the Starter CD and create a wireless connection.
Make sure the device is not connected to the network using a network cable.
The sending device must have built-in 802.11 capabilities or an 802.11 wireless card
installed.

The device and the computers that use it must be on the same subnet.

Before installing the device software, you may wish to find out the settings of your network.
Obtain the information from your system administrators, or complete the following tasks:
•

Obtain your network's network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) and
communication mode (infrastructure or ad hoc) from the configuration utility for the
network's wireless access point (WAP) or the computer's network card.

•

Find out the type of encryption your network uses, such as Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP).

•

Find out the security password or encryption key of the wireless device.

Network name (SSID)
By default, the device looks for the wireless network name or SSID named "hpsetup."
Your network may have a different SSID.
Communication mode

There are two communication mode options:
•

Ad hoc: On an ad hoc network, the device is set to ad hoc communication mode and
communicates directly with other wireless devices without the use of a WAP.
All devices on the ad hoc network must:
◦

Be 802.11 compatible

◦

Have ad hoc as the communication mode

◦

Have the same network name (SSID)
