Understanding the Basic Wireless Settings
To configure the wireless settings of your wireless USB print server, click the Wireless Settings
link in the Setup section of the main menu of the browser interface. The Wireless Settings page
appears, as shown below.
Figure 3-7: Basic Wireless Settings page
The Basic Wireless Settings options are discussed below:
• Wireless Network Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name.
Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters; the characters are case sensitive. In a setting
where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a
means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless
network needs to use the SSID.
• Use this SSID:
• Select an Existing Network. Use the drop-down list to view available networks. Select
the one you will use from the list. If security options are enabled in the network you select,
the screen will automatically change to show which security options you must use with the
selected network.
• Country/Region. This field identifies the region where the WGPS606 can be used. It may not
be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless USB print server in a region other than
one of those identified in this field. There is no default country region, and the channel is set to
11. Unless a region is selected, the channel cannot be changed.
