Network name
(SSID)
Defines the SSID. The ID of a wireless network is
referred to as SSID (Service Set Identifier) or network
name. Each wireless LAN has a configurable SSID in
order to clearly identify the wireless network. The SSID is
configured in the access point of a Wireless LAN. Each
device (PC, print server, etc.) that is intended to have
access to the wireless network must be configured using
the same SSID.
Channel
Frequency range)
Defines the channel (frequency range) on which the
entire data communication will be transmitted. The
product uses the 2.4 GHz ISM band. A channel has a
bandwidth of 22 MHz. The distance between two
neighboring channels is 5 MHz. Channel 3 is preset. The
parameter 'Channel' can only be configured in the 'Ad-
Hoc' mode.
Neighboring channels overlap, which can lead to
interferences. If several WLANs are operated in a small
radius, a distance of at least five channels should exist
between two channels.
Keep yourself informed about national provisions
regarding the use of WLAN products and only use
authorized channels.
Roaming Enables/disables the use of roaming. Roaming refers to
the 'moving' of one radio cell to the next. The print server
will use the access point that has the strongest signal. If
the print server moves towards the sphere of another
access point, the print server switches automatically and
without loss of connection to the next radio cell. The
parameter 'Roaming' can only be configured in the
'Infrastructure' mode.
-dBm Defines the roaming threshold in -dbm. If the WLAN
signal strength exceeds the threshold, the print server
searches for a stronger WLAN signal and may switch
into a WLAN with better signal strength. The value 65 -
dbm is preset. This parameter can only be configured in
the 'Infrastructure' mode.
