2-8 MonarchNet2 Operating Instructions
Changing Wireless Settings
Only configure the settings required for your network/printer.
1. Click the Wireless tab to configure the wireless network (802.11a/b/g/n) settings.
2. Set the Mode: Ad-Hoc or infrastructure. In Ad-Hoc mode, you do not need an access point.
Infrastructure mode requires an access point to communicate.
3. Set the SSID. The SSID is a unique identifier that must match for all nodes on a subnetwork to
communicate with each other.
4. Set the Regulatory Domain, which is the country of use.
5. Set the Roam Hysteresis. The range is 1 – 15. Whenever the printer’s signal strength gets
below this value, the printer connects to another access point in range with better signal
strength. This prevents excessive roaming between access points if the printer is located near
two access points.
6. Set the Encryption Mode: Disable, 64 BIT Encryption, 128 BIT Encryption, WPA, WPA2, WPA2-
WPA, and DYNAMIC WEP. The encryption mode determines the algorithm used to encrypt
messages.
7. Set the Authentication Type: Open, Shared, TLS, TTLS, LEAP, PEAP, or EAP-FAST. The
authentication type specifies how users are identified and verified on a network. These options
vary depending on what was selected as the Encryption Mode. See “
Basic Security
Configurations” for more information.
8. Set the Authentication Protocol: PAP, or MSCHAP_V2. See “
Basic Security Configurations”
for more information.
9. Enter the User ID.
