8.3.6 W IRELESS C ONFIGURATION
If you want to use the print server through a wireless LAN, set up the print server through Ethernet first and make sure your wireless LAN setting is correct. After setting the wireless LAN, unplug the Ethernet cable and restart the print server; you can then start to use the print server through the wireless LAN. If the wireless configuration does not work, plug in the Ethernet cable again, restart the print server, and configure the print server through Ethernet until the wireless LAN settings are correct.
Double click on the wireless icon in Figure 8-3. The wireless configuration window will appear (see Figure 8-10).
If you used an access point to build up the wireless network, select Infrastructure
Mode . Select Next. Figure 8-11 will appear.
If you do not have an access point and want to use a peer-to-peer connection to build the wireless network, select Ad-Hoc Mode (Figure 8-10). Select Next.
Both infrastructure and ad-hoc mode have to go through the following procedure.
