Connecting to a Wireless Network
The ZebraNet wireless print servers are Ethernet connectivity options for your printer. With one of these wireless print servers, the printer communicates with a wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) through a wireless radio card instead of being connected to a wired Local
Area Network (LAN) with physical wires.
Figure 2 shows the network architecture of a typical WLAN setup. Two critical WLAN
components for wireless operation are a wireless radio card and an access point. The ZebraNet
Internal Wireless Print Server has a built-in wireless radio card.

Access Point
A third-party access point forms a bridge between the WLAN and wired LAN. Select an access point that is compatible with the supported wireless radio cards that you will use with your ZebraNet wireless print server. Some access points may not support all ZebraNet wireless print servers.
Multiple access points can be used to extend the coverage of the wireless LAN. The reassociation capabilities of the IEEE 802.11b/g standard enable clients to move throughout the WLAN area and roam between access points. Reassociation can occur as long as the
ZebraNet wireless print server is on the same network configurations and ESSID (network name) as the access point to which it is trying to connect.

Introduction
Determining the Active Print Server
25
Determining the Active Print Server
Most printers can have wired and wireless print servers installed at the same time. However, only one of the installed print servers can be active at any given time.
Viewing IP Addresses and the Active Print Server
The wired and wireless print servers have different IP addresses. The printer’s control panel
displays the IP address of the active print server (see View Wireless Status through the Control
Panel on page 44 ). You can view the printer’s web pages and send label formats to the printer
through the active print server’s IP address.
The network configuration label (
Figure 3 ) displays the IP address of all installed print server
devices and indicates the active print server with an asterisk (circled in
). To print a network configuration label, see
Print Network Configuration Information on page 46 .

26 Introduction
Determining the Active Print Server
Selecting the Primary Network Device
In the S4M, only one print server (wired or wireless) can be installed at a time. In other printers, you can select which installed device is the primary network device. The printer tries to use the primary network device as the active print server before trying the other installed options.
Check for Wired Print Server (X60.15.x only)
In printers with X60.15.x firmware, the default is for the printer to skip the check for a wired print server during bootup. This makes the wireless print server the primary network device.
To change this and allow the wired print server to be the primary network device when it is connected, use one of the following to tell the printer to check for a wired print server at bootup time:
• the
WIRELESS PS CHECK parameter on the control panel (see Table 10, Wireless
Parameters for V60.15.x, R6x.15.x, ZSPx, or later Firmware on page 48 )
• the ^NB
ZPL command (see ^NB on page 95 )
• the Primary/Secondary settings web page (see
Primary/Secondary Settings on page 73
)
Table 5 identifies which device becomes the active print server under different conditions.

Select the Primary Network Device (ZM400, ZM600, RZ400, and RZ600 only)
The ZM400, ZM600, RZ400, and RZ600 printers support the simultaneous installation of an internal, external, and a wireless print server. Even though all three print servers may be
installed, only one is connected to the network and is the active print server. Table 6 outlines
priorities and identifies which device becomes the active print server when multiple print servers are installed.

Overview
Overview
Important • A wireless option board must be installed on your printer before you can configure the printer to communicate using a wireless radio card. If this board is not installed
and active, the wireless portion of the network configuration label will not print (see Print
Network Configuration Information on page 46 ). See
for the required firmware and other restrictions.
You may configure your printer for wireless operation in the following ways:
• Through the Wireless Setup Wizard, which writes a ZPL script for you (see
Using the Network Setup Wizard on page 31
). On the last screen of the utility, you may choose to send the command directly to your printer, or you may choose to save the ZPL script to a file. The saved ZPL file has several purposes:
• The file can be sent to the printer through any available connection (serial, parallel,
USB, or wired print server).
• The file can be resent to the printer after the network settings have been restored to factory defaults.
• The file can be sent to multiple printers that will use the same network settings.
• Through ZPL script that you write yourself (see ZPL Commands for Wireless Operation on page 93
). Use the ^WK command to set the basic parameters for security type. You can send the command through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server).
• Through Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands (see SGD Wireless Commands on page 125
).
Begin with wlan.security to set the wireless security type. Depending on which security type that you select, other SGD commands will be necessary to specify other parameters. You can send the commands through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server).

Description
When these indicators display percentages, the wireless radio card is communicating with the network. The higher the number is, the better the connection is between the printer and the network.
If your printer indicates a signal strength but you cannot communicate with the printer from your computer, move the printer to a different location to try to get a better signal strength or signal quality. This situation could also indicate that the printer is associated with, but not authenticated with, your access point.
This number indicates any electrical interference with the wireless signal.
If your printer cannot communicate with the network and the noise level is high, move the printer to a location that is free of interference.

Restore Network Parameters to Defaults
You may need to restore the network parameters to the factory defaults under the following circumstances:
• If you download a different version of firmware to your printer
• If you need to reset the encryption keys (for instances where a key was entered incorrectly or was forgotten)
After you return the network parameters to the defaults, you must reconfigure your printer to
use the wireless print server (see Configuration on page 29
). If you saved the ZPL script generated by the Wireless Setup Wizard, simply send this file to the printer, and then power
cycle the printer. If you were using a wireless password, you must set it again (see ^WP on page 110
).
You can set the network parameters back to the factory defaults in two ways:
• The Restore Default Network Configuration button on the printer’s View and Modify
Printer Settings Page (see Figure 9 on page 67
).
• The
DEFAULT NET
option, which appears as an option when you exit Setup mode. Refer to the user guide for your printer for specific instructions on how to modify the control panel parameters.
Note • The
LOAD DEFAULTS
option and the Restore Default Configuration button reset all printer parameters other than network settings back to factory defaults. The network settings will not change when these options are selected.

IP Issues
Table 16 • IP Issues and Recommended Solutions
Issue
The printer shows
IP address
192.168.254.254, which does not appear to work.
On my control panel, the IP settings are missing or show all zeroes
(000.000.000.000).
The IP address for my wired print server does not bring up the printer home page.
Possible Cause Recommended Solution
IP address 192.168.254.254 is a default address. The printer shows this address after it times out while trying to connect. The printer was likely set to an incorrect static IP address.
The DHCP server is not functioning, so a dynamic IP address is not being assigned. The printer timed out and shows the default IP address of
192.168.254.254.
Actual IP settings (IP Resolution,
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway) will only appear when the printer is associated to and authenticated with the WLAN.
Until the time that the printer recognizes the existence of a
ZebraNet print server, these parameters will not show through the control panel. After the print server is recognized, all zeroes will display until the printer obtains an
IP address or defaults to address
192.168.254.254.
Enter a valid static IP address.
OR
Set IP Protocol to All.
Check the DHCP server.
1.
2.
3.
Allow more time for the printer to complete its connection and obtain an
IP address.
If the printer does not connect, check that there is an adequate signal between the printer and the access point. If necessary, move the printer or the access point to another location, or remove any obstructions between the two. A direct line of site between the printer and access point provides the best results. Refer to the third-party documentation for your access point for recommendations and limitations.
Check the IP Protocol setting. If using a static setting, the value entered might not be valid.
In your browser window, type in the IP address of the wireless print server.
If both a wired and wireless print server are installed on a printer at the same time and the wireless printer is the primary/active print server, the printer web pages can be accessed only through the wireless print server’s IP address.

Web Page Overview
Web Page Overview
ZebraLink WebView is a browser-based application that provides real-time configuration, control, and monitoring capabilities for your printer. The web pages display real-time information about the printer, including printer status, error conditions, and all printing parameters.
You can use the printer’s web pages to view and modify many of the same parameters that appear on the printer’s control panel. Through the printer’s web pages, you can also enter additional WEP encryption keys and change other parameters that are not accessible through the control panel.
Home Page
The printer’s home page is the first web page that opens. This page includes a menu of hyperlinks that allow you to make modifications to the printer, print server, and network settings. Other changeable settings through the home page include:
• Network Status, Error, and Warning reports
• Directories of objects stored in Flash memory and RAM devices
• Objects, stored fonts, images, programs, and ZPL II formats
To access the printer’s home page, you need the printer’s IP address. When the printer is connected to your WLAN, you can find the IP address using the printer’s control panel.
Note • Refer to the user guide for your printer for specific instructions on how to use the control panel.
To access your printer’s home page, complete these steps:
1.
From the control panel, enter Setup mode.
2.
Scroll through the parameters until you reach

Wireless Setup Wizard utility, and any wired print server inserted into the printer will use those settings. The drawbacks to using the printer as primary are:
• Any wired print server inserted into the printer will lose its original settings if the printer is
set to check for the wired print server (see ^NB on page 95 )
• GLEANING ONLY for IP PROTOCOL will no longer work.

SGD Wireless Commands
This chapter provides a high-level overview of the wireless Set / Get / Do (SGD) commands and details on each SGD command.
For printer support of SGD commands, see the ZPL II Progrmming Guide. A copy of this manual is available at http://www.zebra.com/manuals or on the user CD that came with your printer.
SGD commands are available in printers with firmware version V60.15.x, V50.15.x,
V61.15.x, V56.15.x, V53.15.xZ, V54.15.x, R60.15.x, R62.15.x, R63.15.x, R65.15.x, or later.
Important • These are important points to note when using ZPL and SGD commands:
• SGD commands are case-sensitive.
• ZPL and SGD commands should be sent to the printer as separate files.
• Certain settings can be controlled by both ZPL and SGD. Configuration changes made in
ZPL can affect configuration changes made in SGD.
• Changes made with one command type (ZPL or SGD) will affect the data returned to the host in response to both ZPL and getvar commands. The command type (ZPL or SGD) that was sent last determines the current setting.
• Some RF cards do not support all of the SGD commands.
4/29/08 Wireless User Guide 14143L-005 Rev. A
126 SGD Wireless Commands
Overview
Overview
This section describes how and why to use the Set / Get / Do (SGD) commands. It also provides an example of a typical command structure.
Note • SGD commands must be terminated by a carriage return or a space and line feed.
SGD commands are commands that allow you to configure all printers that are running supported firmware versions. The printer performs the specified function immediately after receiving the command. The commands are:
• setvar
• getvar
• do
setvar Command
Setvar commands:
• are used to configure printer settings to specific values by setting them in the printer
• must be terminated by a space character or a CR/ LF (0x0D, 0x0A)
Important • The setvar command and attributes must be specified in lower case.
getvar Command
Getvar commands:
• are used to get the current value of the printer settings
• must be terminated by a space character or CR/LF (0x0D, 0x0A)
The printer responds with the printer setting of “?” if:
• the printer setting does not exist (usually due to incorrect spelling of the printer setting)
• it has not been configured yet
Important • The printer settings and attributes must be specified in lower case.
14143L-005 Rev. A Wireless User Guide 4/29/08
do Command
Do commands:

Command—always preceded with an exclamation point (!) and must be specified in lower case. A space resides between the !and U1 and between U1 and the command
(setvar or getvar).
Attribute—always in double quotes and must be specified in lower case.
Chosen value—always in double quotes. Only applicable for setvar and do.
This command must be terminated by a space character or a CR/ LF (0x0D, 0x0A).
Note • Some RF cards do not support all of the SGD commands.
How to Send Multiple SGD Commands
For any getvar, setvar, or do command, if you issue the syntax without the "1" and use the END command followed by a space, multiple SGD commands are sent simultaneously.
Example • This syntax shows how you can send multiple getvar commands:
1
2
3
! U getvar "ip.telnet.enable" getvar "ip.dhcp.enable" getvar "ip.dhcp.cid_prefix"
END
1
2
3
The command portion of the string does not use the "1" after the "! U".
Commands issued after the first command do not require the "! U".
The string of commands is terminated by the word "END" with a space after the word, and by a carriage return/ line feed.

alphanumeric Indicating letters, numerals, and characters such as punctuation marks.
backfeed When the printer pulls the media and ribbon (if used) backward into the printer so that the beginning of the label to be printed is properly positioned behind the printhead.
Backfeed occurs when operating the printer in Tear-Off and Applicator modes.
bar code A code by which alphanumeric characters can be represented by a series of adjacent stripes of different widths. Many different code schemes exist, such as the universal product code (UPC) or Code 39.
black mark A registration mark found on the underside of the print media that acts as a start-
of-label indication for the printer. (See non-continuous media
.)
calibration (of a printer) A process in which the printer determines some basic information needed to print accurately with a particular media and ribbon combination. To do this, the printer feeds some media and ribbon (if used) through the printer and senses whether to use the direct thermal or thermal transfer print method, and (if using non-continuous media) the length of individual labels or tags.
character set The set of all letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and other characters that can be expressed by a particular font or bar code.
character shaping Characters assume different glyphic forms depending on the context.They can be used with a script-based language.
check digit A character added to a bar code symbol that indicates to the scanner that it has read the symbol correctly.
configuration The printer configuration is a group of operating parameters specific to the printer application. Some parameters are user selectable, while others are dependent on the installed options and mode of operation. Parameters may be switch selectable, control panel programmable, or downloaded as ZPL II commands. A configuration label listing all the current printer parameters may be printed for reference.

diagnostics Information about which printer functions are not working that is used for troubleshooting printer problems.
direct thermal A printing method in which the printhead presses directly against the media.
Heating the printhead elements causes a discoloration of the heat-sensitive coating on the media. By selectively heating the printhead elements as the media moves past, an image is printed onto the media. No ribbon is used with this printing method. Contrast this with
dynamic RAM The memory devices used to store the label formats in electronic form while they are being printed. The amount of DRAM memory available in the printer determines the maximum size and number of label formats that can be printed. This is volatile memory that loses the stored information when power is turned off.
Extensible Authentication Protocol over Flexible Authentication via Secure
Tunneling (EAP-FAST) Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via
Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) is a publicly accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by
Cisco Systems. It is available as an IETF informational draft. Extensible Authentication
Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) is a publicly accessible
IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems. It is available as an IETF informational draft. Cisco developed EAP-FAST to support customers who cannot enforce a strong password policy and wish to deploy an 802.1X EAP type that does not require digital certificates, supports a variety of user and password database types, supports password expiration and change, and is flexible, easy to deploy, and easy to manage. For example, a customer using Cisco LEAP who cannot enforce a strong password policy and does not want to use certificates can migrate to EAP-FAST for protection from dictionary attacks.
Extensible Authentication Protocol
over Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) Second generation Wi-Fi security. Current
Wi-Fi security standards (802.1x) define the use of the TLS protocol encapsulated within the
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) as one of the strongest security mechanisms for
Wi-Fi. Using EAP-TLS provides well-regarded, standards-based security between an access point and a Wi-Fi client. This is a Microsoft standard.
• A form of 802.1X (EAP) authentication
• Uses client and server certificates for mutual authentication (PKI)
• TLS 1.0 (Transport Layer Security) is based on Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0
Extensible Authentication Protocol
over Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) EAP-TTLS is an extension of
EAP-TLS which provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and network. Unlike EAP-TLS, however, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side certificates, eliminating the need to configure certificates for each WLAN client. In addition, it supports legacy password protocols, so you can deploy it against your existing authentication system
(such as tokens or Active Directories.) It securely tunnels client authentication within TLS records, ensuring that the user remains anonymous to eavesdroppers on the wireless link and the entire network to the RADIUS server.
firmware This is the term used to specify the printer’s operating program. This program is downloaded to the printer from a host computer and stored in FLASH memory. Each time the printer power is turned on, this operating program starts. This program controls when to feed the media forward or backward and when to print a dot on the label stock.
Wireless User Guide 4/29/08

Glossary 219
FLASH memory FLASH memory is non-volatile and maintains the stored information intact when power is off. This memory area is used to store the printer’s operating program. In addition, this memory can be used to store optional printer fonts, graphic formats, and complete label formats.
Font A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one style of type. Examples include
CG Times™, CG Triumvirate Bold Condensed™.
ips (inches-per-second) The speed at which the label or tag is printed. Zebra printers can print from 1 ips to 12 ips.
Kerberos Network authentication protocol that uses the concept of a time-limited “ticket” for access to network resources. Kerberos uses key distribution and client/server authentication.
light emitting diode (LED) Indicators of specific printer status conditions. Each LED is either off, on, or blinking depending on the feature being monitored.
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol
(LEAP or Lightweight EAP) A non-standard Wireless Security protocol from Cisco.
LEAP uses mutual authentication, meaning that both the user and the access point must be authenticated before access to the LAN is allowed. Mutual authentication can help protect wireless networks from rogue access points, man-in-the-middle attacks, sniffing attacks, and active attacks. Based on 802.1X EAP protocol.
liquid crystal display (LCD) The LCD is a back-lit display that provides the user with either operating status during normal operation or option menus when configuring the printer to a specific application.
lock-up This is the term generally used to describe a fault condition that, for no apparent reason, causes the printer to stop working.
media Material onto which data is printed by the printer. Types of media include: tag stock, die-cut labels, continuous labels (with and without media liner), non-continuous media, fanfold media, and roll media.
media sensor This sensor is located behind the printhead to detect the presence of media and, for non-continuous media, the position of the web, hole, or notch used to indicate the start of each label.
non-continuous media Media that contains an indication of where one label/printed format ends and the next one begins. Examples are die-cut labels, notched tag-stock, and stock with black mark registration marks.
non-volatile memory Electronic memory that retains data even when the power to the printer is turned off.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) A draft standard for a common approach to wireless-network user authentication.
• A form of 802.1X authentication
• Currently an IETF draft (still subject to change)
Wireless User Guide 14143L-005 Rev. A
220 Glossary
• Performs mutual client/server authentication using transport layer security (TLS), but only requires a server certificate
• With no client certificate, configuration is easier than EAP-TLS
peel-off A mode of operation in which the printer peels a printed label away from the backing and allows the user to remove it before another label is printed. Printing pauses until the label is removed.
print speed The speed at which printing occurs. For thermal transfer printers, this speed is expressed in terms of ips (inches per second).
printhead wear The degradation of the surface of the printhead and/or the print elements over time. Heat and abrasion can cause printhead wear. Therefore, to maximize the life of the printhead, use the lowest print darkness setting (sometimes called burn temperature or head temperature) and the lowest printhead pressure necessary to produce good print quality. In the thermal transfer printing method, use ribbon that is as wide or wider than the media to protect the printhead from the rough media surface.
registration Alignment of printing with respect to the top (vertical) or sides (horizontal) of a label or tag.
symbology The term generally used when referring to a bar code.
tear-off A mode of operation in which the user tears the label or tag stock away from the remaining media by hand.
thermal transfer A printing method in which the printhead presses an ink or resin coated ribbon against the media. Heating the printhead elements causes the ink or resin to transfer onto the media. By selectively heating the printhead elements as the media and ribbon move
past, an image is printed onto the media. Contrast this with direct thermal .
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) WPA is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) that includes encryption and user authentication.
Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) that secures data transmissions using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
