The Wireless Print Solutions Adapter contains two network interfaces. Only one interface can be active at a
time unless bridging is enabled. Then both interfaces are activated and the bridging subsystem controls
them. The Ethernet interface is called Network (eth0), and the WLAN interface is called Network (wlan0).

Notes:
•
Some settings require a reboot to take effect. For details, see
•
After you reboot the adapter, wait at least 30 seconds before you connect to the device.
The Wireless Print Solutions Adapter supports bridging of traffic between a single external Ethernet device
and the wireless network. When bridging is enabled and active, the MAC address of the external device is
used as the MAC address for the WLAN interface. The device then bridges traffic between the two
interfaces. The external Ethernet device appears as a wireless node on the network.

Access Point Settings
Software Access Point (Soft AP) is a feature that allows you to create an access point for your Wireless Print
Solutions Adapter so that wireless devices can locate and connect to it. When you use Soft AP, the Wireless
Print Solutions Adapter broadcasts its SSID. This allows wireless devices to locate it and connect to it. The
Wireless Print Solutions Adapter SSID appears as wpsa-xxxx where the last four digits of the address are
the last four digits of the MAC address for the adapter. The Soft AP feature is useful to help you configure
the Wireless Print Solutions Adapter for the first time before you connect it to a wireless network. The
default IP address for the Wireless Print Solutions Adapter is 192.168.0.1.
