WPS w/PIN Code 5
If your WLAN access point/router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PIN Method), you can configure the
machine easily without a computer. (See Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup on page 20.)
WLAN Status 5
Status 5
This field displays the current wireless network status.
Signal 5
This field displays the current wireless network signal strength.
SSID 5
This field displays the current wireless network SSID. The display shows up to 32 characters of the SSID
name.
Comm.Mode 5
This field displays the current wireless network communication mode.
Ethernet 5
Ethernet link mode. Auto allows the print server to operate in 100BASE-TX full or half duplex, or in 10BASE-T
full or half duplex mode by auto negotiation.
Note
If you set this value incorrectly, you may not be able to communicate with your print server.
MAC Address 5
The MAC address is a unique number assigned for the machine's network interface. You can check your
machine's MAC address from the control panel.
E-mail / IFAX (Available when IFAX is downloaded) 5
This menu has five selections: Mail Address, Setup Server, Setup Mail RX, Setup Mail TX and
Setup Relay. As this section requires you to enter a lot of text characters, you may find that it is more
convenient to use Web Based Management and your favorite web browser to configure these settings (see
Web Based Management on page 42). These settings must be configured for the IFAX feature to work. (For
more details about Internet fax, see Internet fax on page 54.)
You can also access the character you want by repeatedly pressing the appropriate number key using the
machine’s control panel. (For entering text, see the Quick Setup Guide.)
