Wireless LAN terms and concepts
Access Point
An Access Point is a device that typically serves as a bridge or gateway between wireless devices and
the devices on a cabled network. An Access Point must be able to receive and forward network traffic
between wireless and cabled network devices. Multiple Access Points can act as repeaters to extend
the range of a wireless network.
Connecting via an access point is called Infrastructure Mode. On Apple networks, this is called Airport
Network Mode.
Figure 1-2 Access Point in enterprise workgroup

Figure 1-3 Residential gateway as Access Point

Chapter 1 Introduction

ENWW

Figure 1-4 Access Point as wireless repeater

Ad Hoc (peer-to-peer) mode
Ad Hoc mode (or peer-to-peer mode) is a wireless network topology where wireless devices
communicate with each other directly. An Access Point is not used. On Apple networks, Ad Hoc mode
is called computer-to-computer mode.
NOTE: Ad Hoc mode is not as reliable as Infrastructure mode, and if used, should be limited to six
devices or less.
When set in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs from wireless computers directly.
Figure 1-5 Ad Hoc mode: a peer-to-peer wireless network topology

NOTE: The term “peer-to-peer” might have a different meaning depending on its usage. While Ad Hoc
peer-to-peer mode refers to a wireless network topology, HP Jetdirect peer-to-peer printing refers to a
direct print path from a network computer to a printer. HP Jetdirect peer-to-peer printing can be used
on both Ad Hoc or Infrastructure wireless topologies.

Channels
IEEE standards for 802.11b and 802.11g wireless LANs specify a spectrum of radio waves for wireless
communications. The allowed spectrum is divided into channels consisting of 22 MHz each. The number

ENWW

Wireless LAN terms and concepts

of available channels authorized for use may be restricted based on your location (see Radio
characteristics on page 42).
●

If the print server is powered on and discovers a wireless network whose SSID (network name) is
also “hpsetup”, it will automatically adjust its channel to match that network.

●

If the print server is reconfigured for Infrastructure mode, it will automatically adjust its channel to
match the Access Point.

Encryption
Wireless networks use radio signals for network communications, which can be easily monitored by
someone eavesdropping on the network. To deter eavesdropping and to help ensure data privacy,
encryption of wireless communications may be used.
For HP Jetdirect print servers in their factory-default state, encryption of wireless communications is
disabled. However, the print servers support static WEP and popular dynamic encryption protocols.
NOTE: Wireless performance may be reduced when using encryption keys due to the additional
processing time required.
Static Encryption. WEP encryption protocols were developed to provide a basic level of data privacy.
WEP protocols use static encryption keys to encrypt and decrypt wireless communications.
NOTE: WEP encryption levels are sometimes called 40-bit, 64-bit, 104-bit, or 128-bit encryption. Both
40-bit and 64-bit encryption are really the same, as are 104-bit and 128-bit encryption. When entering
WEP keys, the user specifies 40 bits for 64-bit encryption, or 104 bits for 128-bit encryption. An additional
24 initialization vector (IV) bits are automatically added for a total of 64 bits and 128 bits, respectively.
In this guide, we will use “40/64-bit” and “104/128bit” to specify these WEP encryption levels.
For basic encryption, static WEP keys are configured on each device on the wireless network. WEP
keys are considered static because they remain the same unless manually reconfigured. For example,
on a typical Infrastructure mode network that uses static WEP encryption, a change to the WEP key on
an Access Point will require a manual change to the WEP key on each wireless device.
HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support configuration of up to four static WEP keys, for either 40/64bit or 104/128-bit encryption.
Dynamic Encryption. For advanced encryption methods, dynamic encryption protocols are used. For
dynamic encryption protocols, encryption keys are automatically changed at routine intervals making
them difficult to decipher.
Dynamic encryption protocols, such as dynamic WEP and wi-fi protected access (WPA/WPA2), provide
a more secure wireless environment.
When configured for WPA/WPA2–Personal authentication, HP Jetdirect print servers use WPA
encryption.

Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is a wireless network topology where all wireless communications go through an
Access Point. Infrastructure mode is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), and sometimes referred to as
“enterprise mode.” On Apple networks, Infrastructure mode is called Airport Network mode. When set

6

Chapter 1 Introduction

ENWW

in this mode, the HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs from wireless and cabled network
computers through an Access Point.
Figure 1-6 Infrastructure mode: a wireless topology that uses an Access Point for connection to a wired
network

Security type
Security is used to validate the identification of each device or computer that is attempting to access a
network. The security type used on a network is determined during network design and depends on the
network security requirements. Consequently, security methods are closely associated with encryption
options that are also used on the network.
HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support the following security types:

ENWW

●

No security. No encryption or authentication is used. Open system. Your wireless network does
not require device authentication or security to access the network. However, your network might
use WEP encryption keys for data privacy.

●

WEP-Personal. Each device on your wireless network uses a shared encryption key (a shared
password value) for network access and communication. Each device on the network must use
the same key. The HP Jetdirect print server supports IEEE 802.11 WEP keys for encrypted network
communications.

●

WEP-Enterprise. The network uses WEP with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of security
utilizes a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the network. The
HP Jetdirect print server supports these server-based authentication protocols: LEAP, PEAP, and
EAP-TLS.

●

WPA/WPA2–Personal. Your network uses wi-fi protected access (WPA) with a pre-shared key
that is typically generated by a pass-phrase. WPA encryption is normally used for wireless
communication and offers improved security.

●

WPA/WPA2–Enterprise. Your network uses WPA with EAP/802.1x authentication. This type of
security utilizes a central authentication server, such as RADIUS, to authenticate users on the
network. The HP Jetdirect print server supports these server-based authentication protocols:
LEAP, PEAP, and EAP-TLS.

Wireless LAN terms and concepts

7

Service Set Identifiers (SSID)
An SSID is a logical name assigned to a wireless LAN. It is typically used to provide LAN access control.
For example, if the SSID for a wireless network is “mycompany”, then each wireless device on this
network must be configured with this SSID.
In infrastructure mode, the Access Point will require wireless devices to be configured with the
appropriate SSID before network access is allowed.

Signal range
The range over which wireless devices can communicate depends on the physical environment and the
orientation of the HP Jetdirect print server.
For 802.11g, the range is typically 50 feet at the highest data rate (54 Mbps). Data rate will decrease to
802.11b levels as range, traffic and interference increase.
For 802.11b, the range is typically 100 feet at the highest data rate (11 Mbps), and 300 feet at the lowest
data rate (1 Mbps).
In general, while radio waves can bounce off obstacles to access print servers, it is best to have clear
line-of-sight access between devices without obstacles through which the signal must pass.
NOTE: Signal range and wireless transmission performance is reduced with increasing distance
between devices, and with obstacles that block or absorb signals.

Network printing terms and concepts
Client-server printing
On a client-server network, client computers send print jobs to a dedicated network server that controls
the use of each installed printer. The HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs over the network under
the network server’s control, or can automatically monitor print queues and de-spool print jobs from the
network server.
Figure 1-7 Client-server printing (in Infrastructure mode)

8

Chapter 1 Introduction

ENWW

Peer-to-peer (direct mode) printing
On a peer-to-peer network, dedicated network servers are not used. Instead, an HP Jetdirect-connected
network printer is installed on each client computer that will send print jobs directly to the printer.
Figure 1-8 Peer-to-peer printing

Network protocols
For network computers and printers to communicate on a network, they must use a common language,
or network protocol. The HP Jetdirect print server can support many different network protocols
simultaneously, such as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and IPX (Internet
Packet Exchange). For a list of supported protocols, see Supported network protocols on page 38.
TCP/IP is the most commonly used protocol in most network environments.

Network address
Each device on a network must be identified by a unique network address for the specific network
protocol used. On an IPX network, the network address is assigned automatically. On an IP network,
configuration and assignment of IP addresses and other IP settings are a bit more complex. Network
addresses are configured and stored on each HP Jetdirect print server during installation, and are listed
on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the print server.

Hardware address
Each device on a network contains a unique LAN hardware (or “station”) address that is assigned by
the manufacturer of the device. Because the HP Jetdirect print server connects printers to a network,
each print server contains a LAN hardware address assigned by Hewlett-Packard.
The address consists of 12 hexadecimal digits (0 through F). The first 6 digits uniquely identify the
manufacturer, and the second 6 digits uniquely identify the device.
The LAN hardware address is important because it may be needed to identify the printer during
installation. It is listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for each print server. In addition, it is listed
on a label attached to the print server.

NOTE: Frequently asked questions about installing and configuring the HP Jetdirect print server can
be found by searching for your HP Jetdirect product at: www.hp.com/support/net_printing.

Reset the print server to factory defaults (“cold reset”)
Once you have configured the HP Jetdirect print server, your settings are saved in memory even over
power cycles.
If you lose communications with the HP Jetdirect print server, or it fails to operate properly, you might
need to reset the print server to its factory-default configuration. This is called a cold reset.

28

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

ENWW

CAUTION: Resetting the HP Jetdirect wireless print server to factory-default settings can cause the
print server to lose its wireless connection to your network. Reconfiguration of wireless network settings
and reinstallation of the print server might be required.
If a printer reset is required, settings are reset to their factory default values. If you reset the printer, you
might need to reconfigure the printer’s settings that are required by users.
To restore factory-default settings on an HP Jetdirect ew2500 print server, follow these steps:
1.

Unplug the power module from the back of the print server.

2.

While holding down the test button on the back of the print server, plug the power module back
into the print server then release the test button. Any user-configured settings will be erased.

When you restore the print server to its factory-default settings, you should print an HP Jetdirect
configuration page to confirm that factory-default values have been assigned.

Interpret the status lights
The HP Jetdirect ew2500 status lights provide information about the USB, wired, and wireless
connections. The Link and Act status lights on the LAN connector indicate network activity.

Unable to communicate with the print server (wireless)
During initial setup
Verify the following:
●

Your wireless computer is configured to match the default wireless network settings on the
HP Jetdirect print server:
◦

Communication Mode: Ad Hoc

◦

Network Name (SSID): hpsetup

◦

Encryption (WEP): [Disabled]

NOTE: The Network Name (SSID) is case-sensitive.
If the configuration settings are incorrect, connecting to the network might fail.
If the connection fails after entering configuration settings, reset the print server to factory-default
settings (“cold reset”) and try again.
●

The HP Jetdirect print server is turned on and operating properly (print an HP Jetdirect configuration
page).

●

You are within range of the HP Jetdirect print server.

●

There are fewer than six devices total on the Ad Hoc network (with SSID “hpsetup”).

●

There is no Access Point in the vicinity that is configured with an SSID of “hpsetup.”

●

(For Telnet or HP embedded Web server access) Multiple print servers are not being configured
at the same time. If there are, turn all off except the one you want to configure.

After initial setup
If you have successfully configured the HP Jetdirect wireless print server with a network connection to
your network, but your network computers are unable to communicate with the printer (including a “ping”
command), try the following:
●

ENWW

Print an HP Jetdirect configuration page and verify all configuration settings for your network.
Common errors include incorrect entries for the following items:
◦

Communication Mode (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure)

◦

Network Name (SSID), which is case-sensitive

◦

Authentication method

◦

Encryption level, encryption key entries, or the specified transmit key

Unable to communicate with the print server (wireless)

31

◦

IP address

◦

BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier), which distinguishes one wireless LAN from another even
though they have the same SSID.

●

Verify that the printer is within range of the network. See Improve reception and performance
on page 32 for more information.

●

Use a wireless PC and its utilities to confirm the signal strength at the printer’s location. The
detected signal strength should be similar for the print server, as indicated on the HP Jetdirect
configuration page.

My configured channel does not match the configuration
page
(Ad Hoc mode only) The HP configuration tools allow you to select channel 10 (default) or 11 on the
HP Jetdirect wireless print server. This channel is only used by the print server to broadcast its Network
Name (SSID) if it fails to detect and join an existing wireless network. If it is able to join a network, it will
reconfigure its channel to the one used by the network.
The HP Jetdirect configuration page will identify the network channel actually being used on a network.
It does not show the broadcast channel used when a network is not detected.

Improve reception and performance
Wireless LAN radio signals can penetrate many indoor structures and can reflect around obstacles.
However, wireless communication range and performance depends on a variety of factors, including
the number of users, the quality and physical placement of the wireless hardware, and the sources of
radio signal interference (for example, microwave ovens and cordless telephones use similar
frequencies that may interfere with wireless LAN signals). In general, the HP Jetdirect wireless print
server data transfer rates will decrease with increasing distance, obstructions and interference.
For these symptoms

32

●

Wireless status light is amber.

●

The signal strength is poor or marginal.

●

Print jobs are excessively slow.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

ENWW

Try these actions
●

Reorient the HP Jetdirect print server's location in relation to the Access Point or wireless PC. This
might improve reception and performance.

●

Reduce or remove sources of interference. Metallic objects can absorb or attenuate radio signals,
and devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones operate using similar radio
frequencies.

●

Reduce the distance between the printer and the Access Point or wireless PC. This can be
accomplished by:

●

◦

moving the print server

◦

moving the Access Point or wireless PC

◦

adding an additional Access Point (Infrastructure mode only)

Elevate the Access Point’s antenna. In most office environments, elevating the Access Point’s
antenna will improve the range and performance of all wireless devices.

Firmware download failure
The HP Jetdirect ew2500 print server provides limited firmware upgrade capabilities. As with other
HP Jetdirect print servers, firmware upgrades may be downloaded as available using tools such as HP
Download Manager (Windows), HP Web Jetadmin, HP embedded Web server, or FTP (File Transfer
Protocol).
If the firmware download fails to complete, you should restart the download without cycling power to the
print server.
If power is lost during the download and the print server must be restarted, your next steps depend on
whether the print server is configured for server-based authentication.
