SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST _______________
To print the self-diagnostic test for the wireless network card:
1. Make sure Ready to Print appears on the display.
2. Press the TEST button (1) on the wireless network card for at
least 3 seconds.
The Network Summary report prints.

Basic Information
SSID (SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER)_________
In a wireless network, terminals can be assigned an SSID identifier
which restricts their access to printers on the network to only those
set up for that SSID.
For example, computers set up as Accounting can only
communicate to a printer through the Marketing access point (AP)
and computers set up as Marketing can only communicate to a
printer through the Marketing access point:
SSID = Accounting
SSID = Marketing
SSID = Accounting
SSID = Marketing
CHANNELS_________________________
There are 13 channels available for use in a wireless network.
However, adjacent channels share a frequency and can interfere
with one another.
Therefore, to obtain maximum communication speed and
accuracy, channels for access points which are near each other
should be selected with 5 channels space between them: e.g.,
channels 1, 6 and 11.

Configuration Overview
SECURITY FEATURES__________________
Open (no security)
This can be used, but is not recommended.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy, assuring wireless network security
equivalent to a wired network.
Set the same WEP key (64 or 128 bits) for all printers, computers
and access points on the wireless network.
WPA
WiFi Protected Access security, using TKIP encryption. This
security uses a pre-shared key set for all printers, computers and
access points in the wireless network. The key is periodically
changed.
EAP (Using Certificates)
Extensible Authentication Protocol security. In wireless
communications using EAP, connection to the wireless network is
requested through an access point, which in turn transmits the
certificate assigned to the computer and printer to an
authentication server such as RADIUS.
• EAP-TLS is used for authentication.
• Client and/or CA certificates must be imported into the
printer.
• Certificates must be obtained separately by the network
administrator before setting the printer for EAP.
Client Certificates
• This is the printer’s own certificate.
• The client must have a private key which corresponds to a
public key contained in the certificate.
• Required file format for imported certificates = [PKCS#12].
• Suitable file extensions include *.p12 and *.pfx.
CA Certificates
• The printer is not involved in the CA certificate chain.
8
Configuration Overview
• EAP-TLS requires authentication of the Server Certificate
issued by a Certificate Authority and sent from a RADIUS
server.
• Certificate Authentication requires that the printer have a
certificate issued by the Certificate Authority that issued the
Server Certificate.
• Required file formats = [PEM] or [DER].
• Suitable CA Certificate extensions include *.pem, *.der and
*.cer.
