wlan.operating_mode
type: getvar; setvar
This parameter refers to the network operating mode. In-
frastructure mode means that the printer will try to associ-
ate with an access point. Ad hoc mode means that the
printer will try to associate with a device other than an ac-
cess point and join a stand alone network.
To use “ad hoc” mode configure the printer as follows:
• Set the eSSID to the new network’s eSSID.
•Turn off the DHCP and assign an IP Address to
the printer.
• Set the Subnet mask on the printer to the new
network’s Subnet mask.

hoc”.

ping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio.
