wireless network setup
10 Write down the existing wireless profile’s settings.
11 Create a new wireless profile with the following values:
– Communication mode: Ad Hoc
– Network name (SSID): hpsetup
– Encryption: disabled
(This is the default configuration for your HP PSC’s internal networking
component.)
12 Activate the profile.
When the configuration change is complete, the computer is ready to
communicate on the HP PSC’s network. (The computer is no longer part of
its original network.)
Note: Unless you change your computer's settings, it will still communicate
with your existing wireless network. But the wireless device that you need to
configure is on its own network (called “hpsetup”). To configure that device,
you need to change your computer to the HP PSC’s network—temporarily.
13 Print a network configuration page and obtain the IP address of the
HP PSC.
For more information, see print a network configuration page on page 76.
14 Open your Web browser on your computer.
15 Enter either the URL or device IP address from the network configuration
page into the Address field in your browser.
The EWS Home page appears.
16 Select the Networking tab.
17 At the Network Settings page, click the Wireless tab.
18 Scroll to the appropriate section and enter the profile values you recorded
in step 9.
19 Click Apply.
20 Exit the EWS by closing your browser.
21 Open the configuration utility for your wireless network adapter.
22 Restore the old wireless profile settings.
23 Wait 60 seconds and then print a network configuration page.
The blue network light on the lid of your HP PSC should be lit.
24 Open your Web browser on your computer.
25 Enter either the URL or device IP address from the network configuration
page into the Address field in your browser.
If the EWS Home page appears, your HP PSC is properly configured.
26 Exit the EWS by closing your browser.
27 Insert the HP PSC software installation CD into your computer's CD-ROM
drive.
The Welcome screen appears.
Note: Installation time can range from 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on
your OS, the amount of available space, and the processor speed.
