Select the Connection Mode as Call Remote. 3. Specify the Remote IP Address. 4. Select the Port. 5. Enter the amount of Retries in milliseconds after a failure before a connection is tried again. Setting the Power Save Mode 1. Select the Power Save mode by checking the Enable box from the Card Configuration screen. 2. Set the Algorithm to a value between 1 and 10. 1 is the shortest sleep time (uses battery power quicker, but responds faster); 10 is the longest sleep time (optimal battery conservation, but responds slower). If the Power Save mode is not enabled, the device operates in CAM mode (constantly awake). CAM means the printer is continuously receiving and transmitting data. This mode uses battery power quickly. NOTE: Do not change the Beacon Minimum and Beacon Maximum values. The printer does not support these parameters. Do not use the Micro AP Mode, Operation Options, or Communication Settings. Changing any of these values may cause the printer to stop communicating! Do not change the Manager MAC Address from the Other Parameters section. Setting WEP Options 1. To set WEP options, click Extended Configuration from the Card Configuration screen. NOTE: Make sure these WEP settings match those for your Access Point. 2. Set the WEP Authentication as 0 – Open System, 1 – 40-bit keys, or 2 – 128-bit keys. 3. Enter the four Key values according to the Access Point. NOTE: The key values must be entered in Hexadecimal. 4. Select the Key you want to be active. Setting Ad Hoc Mode 1. Select the Ad Hoc Mode by checking the Enable box. 2. Select the Override Channel. All devices must be on the same channel to communicate. In Ad Hoc Mode, you do not need an Access Point. It operates as peer-to-peer, so as long as the devices are in range, they will connect and communicate with each other. In Ad Hoc Mode, set the ESS ID address to something other than what the Access Point is set to; otherwise, you may not be able to communicate. For example, use the letters “AH” at the end of your ESS ID for “Ad Hoc” Mode. NOTE: If you do not enable Ad Hoc Mode, you are in infrastructure mode, which requires an Access Point. Setting Miscellaneous Parameters 1. Set the Basic and TX Rates for Ad Hoc mode only. In infrastructure mode, the printer uses the Access Point’s TX Rates. 2. Set the Preferred BSS AP ID or Mandatory BSS AP ID. If Mandatory AP (Access Point) is set, the printer ONLY associates with that Access Point. If that particular Access Point is not found, the printer is unable to access the network. Preferred BSS AP ID is reserved for future use. If Preferred AP is set, the printer attempts to associate with the preferred Access Point. If that particular Access Point is not found, the printer associates with any available Access Point it detects. If neither of these settings are specified, the printer associates and roams to any Access Point it can reach. 3. Set the TX Power (transmit power) for Ad Hoc mode only. 0 is the maximum “full power”; 4 is the minimum. In infrastructure mode, the printer uses the Access Point’s TX Power settings. NOTE: Do not change the 188 Restart Delay (ticks), Comm Port 2 Baud, leave the Enable Application check box disabled (unchecked), and do not change any of the Enhanced Power Down Mode selections. 4. Enable or disable the Long RF preamble from the Card Configuration screen check box based on your Access Point. If your Access Point has long RF preambles disabled, make sure they are disabled here. 5. Click Ok when finished with the extended card configuration options. Selecting the IP Addressing Method Determine which method of IP addressing your network supports: Static IP, BOOTP, or DHCP. Static IP Configuration 1. Enter the Local IP Address on the Card Configuration screen. 2. Enter the Subnet Mask. 3. Enter the Gateway (if necessary). 4. Enter a valid address for the Remote IP (even if you are not using the Remote IP). BOOTP Configuration 1. Set the IP Address (Local) to all zeros on the Card Configuration screen. 2. Make sure the check box for “Enable DHCP” is NOT checked. 3. If you enable the check box “Replace static remote IP with BOOTP server IP,” the current remote IP address is overwritten with the IP address of the BOOTP server. DHCP Configuration 1. Set the IP Address (Local) to all zeros on the Card Configuration screen. 2. Select the check box for “Enable DHCP.” 3. If you enable the check box “Replace static remote IP with DHCP server IP,” the current remote IP address is overwritten with the IP address of the DHCP server. 4. Set the remaining options according to your network. NOTE: Use extreme caution if you check “Flash DHCP settings upon response.” If checked, the DHCP settings are flashed and saved. The next time the device is turned on, it comes up as a Static IP, not DHCP. 10 Saving the Configuration 1.
