Chapter 7 Set the number of rings before answering If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are automatically answered. The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the device, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the device does. The number of rings to answer for the device should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
Set the fax error correction mode Typically, the device monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or receiving a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the errorcorrection setting is on, the device can request that a portion of the fax be resent.

Chapter 8 • WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security; it provides enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. Data encryption: ◦ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data. If your network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) it uses.
Complete the following steps to temporarily connect the device to your computer network if you are unable to establish wireless communication. a. Temporarily connect the device to the network with a USB cable. b. Follow the onscreen instructions and disconnect the cable when prompted. 7. On the Select a Network Name (SSID) screen, click Select a detected Wireless Network Name (SSID) to select the wireless network, or click Specify a wireless network to enter a new network name. 8.
Chapter 8 Guidelines for reducing interference on a wireless network The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network: • • • • Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can disrupt radio signals.
• • • Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do this, you need to connect to the router with a wired Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes. Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router, if possible. You can use Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.
