Enabling Adhoc Mode:
 Note: The following example uses the DMXConfig software utility to configure the printer. On printers equipped
with a display, the same settings can be changed using the printer’s menu system via the front panel under
COMMUNICATIONS > NIC ADAPTER.
1. Connect the host to the printer with a serial or
parallel cable.
2. Turn on the printer.
3. Launch the DMXConfig utility. Query the printer by
using the Query Printer toolbar button (top-left). This
will connect to the printer and get the current printer
settings.
4. Next select the Communications tab. Select WLAN
AdHoc, SSID = “Unique” and then click the button to
the right. The printer will now reset itself and be
configured to the following settings:
Wireless Mode: Enabled

SSID: MAC Address of the printer (unique value for
each printer, listed on the Network Report Label).
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.10.26
BSS: 192.168.10.1 (this is the IP of the radio card
and is not to be used for data transfer)

Setup - Wireless (Adhoc Mode).
