TROY Group EtherWind 802.11b - Manual (Page 6)

System Requirements
To use the EtherWind for printing from a wireless network, you need an 802.11b
wireless network. The wireless network will consist of either of the following:
◗ An 802.11b wireless enabled PC or Macintosh printing straight to the printer
(Ad-Hoc or Peer-to-Peer Mode).
◗ An 802.11b wireless Access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet enabled
computers to print to the EtherWind.
To configure and print to the EtherWind, you need the following:
◗ The MAC address from the label of the EtherWind (for example:
004017023F96).
◗ The following information from your wireless network administrator:
• Wireless Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc)
• The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network.
• The Radio Frequency Channel of the wireless network.
• If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are
not connected to a DHCP server (for obtaining an IP Address automati-
cally), you will need a unique IP Address for the EtherWind wireless print
server (for example: 192.168.1.14). If the EtherWind is not on the same
IP subnet as the computers you are printing from, you will also need a
subnet mask and a router (default gateway) address.
