Third-Party Components
As shown in Figure 2, two critical WLAN components for ZebraNet Wireless Print Server
operation are a wireless card and an access point. These components are not provided with the
Wireless Print Server.
Supported Wireless Cards
A third-party PCMCIA wireless card is required for the printer to communicate with the
WLAN. After the ZebraNet Wireless Print Server PCMCIA board is installed, the wireless
card inserts into a slot in the back of the printer.
The following wireless cards are supported at the time of this release:
Cisco
• 802.11b Aironet AIR-PCMC340
• 802.11b Aironet AIR-PCMC341
• 802.11b Aironet AIR-PCMC342
• 802.11b Aironet PCMC350
• 802.11b Aironet PCMC351
• 802.11b Aironet PCMC352

Access Point
A third-party access point forms a bridge between the WLAN and wired LAN. Select an
access point that is compatible with the supported wireless cards that you will use with the
ZebraNet Wireless Print Server.
Multiple access points can be used to extend the coverage of the wireless LAN. The
reassociation capabilities of the IEEE 802.11b standard enable clients to move throughout the
WLAN area and roam between access points. Reassociation can occur as long as the ZebraNet
Wireless Print Server is on the same network configurations and ESSID (network name) as the
access point to which it is trying to connect.
Note • Check the operating conditions (such as temperature and humidity) for the wireless
card that you choose. If the card has more restrictions than the printer, this may limit the
conditions under which you can operate the printer with a wireless connection.
