Setting Ad Hoc Mode

Ad Hoc mode is not available for 802.11 radios.

1. Select the Ad Hoc Mode by checking the Enable box.

2. Select the Override Channel. All devices must be on the same channel

to communicate.

In Ad Hoc Mode, you do not need an Access Point. It operates as
peer-to-peer, so as long as the devices are in range, they will
connect and communicate with each other.
In Ad Hoc Mode, set the ESS ID address to something

other than

what the Access Point is set to; otherwise, you may not be able to
communicate. For example, use the letters “AH” at the end of your
ESS ID for “Ad Hoc” Mode.

NOTE: If you do not enable Ad Hoc Mode, you are in infrastructure mode,

which requires an Access Point.

3. Set the Basic and TX Rates for Ad Hoc mode only. In infrastructure

mode, the printer uses the Access Point’s TX Rates.

4. Set the TX Power (transmit power) for Ad Hoc mode only. 0 is the

maximum “full power”; 4 is the minimum. In infrastructure mode, the
printer uses the Access
Point’s TX Power settings.

Setting Other Parameters

The other parameters are not
available for 802.11 radios.

1. Set the Preferred BSS AP ID

or Mandatory BSS AP ID.

If Mandatory AP (Access
Point) is set, the printer ONLY
associates with that Access
Point. If that particular
Access Point is not found, the
printer is unable to access the
network.
