This chapter provides an overview of the EasyLAN Wireless and explains how to install
it in your network.
Introducing the EasyLAN Wireless
The Intermec 802.11b EasyLAN Wireless lets you communicate with 3400e, 4420, and
4440 printers from anywhere on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the
EasyLAN Wireless in ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) mode, as
shown below.
The wireless communication operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b
wireless compatible network.
System Requirements
To print to the EasyLAN Wireless, you need an 802.11b wireless network. The wireless
network must consist of one of the following:
•An 802.11b wireless enabled device printing straight to the printer (ad-hoc mode).
•An 802.11b wireless access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet enabled
devices to print to the printer.
To configure and print to the EasyLAN Wireless, you need the following information:
•The MAC address of the EasyLAN Wireless (for example, 004017023F96).

Starting and Testing the EasyLAN Wireless
When the EasyLAN Wireless is powered on, the option goes through the following
startup sequence:
•The EasyLAN Wireless runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for a few
seconds. If the EasyLAN Wireless is operating properly, the yellow and green
LEDS blink momentarily and then go out. If the green LED blinks continuously in a
regular pattern, there is a problem. Try unplugging the power to the printer and then
plugging it in again. If the problem persists, contact your local Intermec
representative.
•When a successful connection is made to the EasyLAN Wireless from another
802.11b wireless device like an access point or PC, the yellow LED stays lit. The
green LED blinks whenever there is wireless networking activity.
After the green and yellow LEDs go out, print a test label to make sure that the wireless
print option is working. The test label shows the current wireless and network settings
of the EasyLAN Wireless.
To print a test label
•Press and release the test switch. For help finding the test switch, see
“Understanding the EasyLAN Wireless” earlier in this chapter.
If you cannot print a test page, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”
Connecting the EasyLAN Wireless to an RS-232 Serial Port
To initially configure the EasyLAN Wireless, you must connect it to your PC using the
RS-232 serial port. The EasyLAN Wireless has one standard serial port. The serial port
uses PC-compatible 9-pin male D-connectors. Note that the standard off-the-shelf 9-pin
female to 25-pin male PC cables require a null modem in order to connect to most
printers or terminals. The following illustration and table show the pin-outs for the serial
port.

This chapter explains how to configure the EasyLAN Wireless for radio and network
communications.
Before You Begin
This chapter explains how to configure the EasyLAN Wireless using the Web browser
interface, EasyLAN Wireless Admin utility, and network specific utilities, such as
Novell NWAdmin utility. For information on using console commands with
HyperTerminal to configure the EasyLAN Wireless, see Appendix A, “Console
Commands.”
Before you configure the EasyLAN Wireless, you need to:
•Make sure that you have properly configured your PC for communication on a
wireless network. If you are connecting to the printer though an access point, make
sure your PC is in infrastructure mode and that it is associated with the access point.
If you are printing directly to the printer without an access point, you should be in
ad-hoc mode. See the documentation for your PC’s wireless adapter for instructions.
Note: If your PC’s wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 ad-hoc, you must
select it if you want to use the printer in ad-hoc mode. If it does not include this
option, select Ad-hoc Computer-to-Computer or whatever mode your adapter uses
to communicate on a wireless network without an access point.
•If you are using WEP encryption on your wireless network, temporarily disable
WEP on your PC in order to configure the EasyLAN Wireless using the EasyLAN
Wireless Admin utility. If you are using an access point with WEP enabled and it
does not allow non-WEP clients to communicate with other non-WEP clients, then
you also need to temporarily change the wireless mode of your PC to ad-hoc.
Note: If no PCs on your network can be set to ad-hoc mode, you need to
temporarily disable WEP on your access point. When you are done configuring the
EasyLAN Wireless, you can re-enable WEP on your access point and change the
wireless mode back if necessary.
•If you are using TCP/IP, note your PC’s IP address. The EasyLAN Wireless needs
to be on the same IP segment as the other nodes on your network in order to
communicate.
•If you are using infrastructure mode, make sure you have a good signal between
your computer and the access point. Most wireless adapters have a utility that shows
the wireless signal strength. See your PC’s wireless adapter’s documentation for
details.
•If you are using a home gateway or router, configure the EasyLAN Wireless from a
PC on the same network segment that you want the EasyLAN Wireless to be on.
EasyLAN Wireless User’s Manual

Note: If you are using DHCP on your network, the EasyLAN Wireless may have
automatically acquired valid IP settings, and no further configuration is necessary.
Using DHCP may work well if your DHCP server allows the EasyLAN Wireless to
keep its IP address permanently, but in most cases, you want to use a static IP address
outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP server manual for details). You
want a static IP address for when you configure your printer port and to use the Web
browser interface.

Configuring for the NetWare Network
This section explains how to use the Web browser interface to configure NetWare
parameters and how to configure additional queues using the Novell NWAdmin utility.
Note: Intermec recommends you use the Novell 32-bit client on your Windows PC
instead of the Microsoft NetWare client because it allows direct configuration of print
queues without the need for a Novell utility like NWAdmin or PCONSOLE.
The EasyLAN Wireless automatically makes itself known on a NetWare network. The
default NetWare Print Server name is XCD_xxxxxx_P1 where xxxxxx is the last six
digits of the MAC address. Note that the NetWare Print Server name is used for either
NDS or bindery mode configuration.
If you are configuring the first port with the Web browser interface, the NDS Printer
Name for this port is automatically assigned as XCD_xxxxxx_P1 where xxxxxx is the
last six digits of the MAC address. If you are using an alternate configuration method
like NWAdmin, you may assign any unique name for the printer. For help configuring
the first port, see “Configuring the Ports” earlier in this chapter.
You extensively use the Print Server and Printer names while configuring. Note that
these names are actually the names of the EasyLAN Wireless NetWare services. If
desired, you can change the default names using the Web browser interface. For help,
see “Configuring the Port Services” earlier in this chapter.

Configuring for UNIX
The EasyLAN Wireless appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique
IP address running the line printer daemon (lpd) protocol. As a result, any host
computer that supports the Berkeley remote-LPR command can spool jobs to the
EasyLAN Wireless without the need for any special software on the host computer.
Note: Before you configure a UNIX print queue, the EasyLAN Wireless must have a
valid IP address.
Configuring for a Berkeley UNIX Host
Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment Corporation Digital
UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not Solaris), SCO UNIX;
and many others. Sun Solaris, HP/UX, and IBM AIX users should skip to the
appropriate sections later in this chapter.
Note: Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer configuration
utility because it does not work with the EasyLAN Wireless. Instead, Linux users
should follow the configuration steps listed in this section.
Note: SCO UNIX users should use the ripconf command to create a printer and
automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you still need to edit the /etc/hosts file).
Enter the EasyLAN Wireless service name (XCD_xxxxxx_P1 where xxxxxx is the last
six digits of the MAC address) as the name of the printer (refer to the EasyLAN
Wireless test label for the exact name of this service), and enter the name of the
EasyLAN Wireless that you assigned that you assigned in the /etc/hosts file as the
remote host name. Note the because this name must be unique for each printer, we
recommend using the XCD_xxxxxx_P1 service instead of the normal BINARY_P1
service.
To configure for a Berkeley UNIX host
1. Edit the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33 xcdprinter
2. Edit the printcap file. For example:
LabelPrinter
:\
:lp=:\
: rm=
XCD
:\
:rp=
BINARY_P1
:\
:
sd
=/usr/spool/
LabelPrinter
:
EasyLAN Wireless User’s Manual

where:
LabelPrinter is the queue name.
XCD matches the name in the hosts file.
BINARY_P1 is the EasyLAN Wireless service name. Use TEXT_P1
instead of BINARY_P1 for text files.
sd is the spool directory.
3. Create the spool directory. The lpd spool directory is usually located in the
/usr/spool directory. To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For
example:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/LabelPrinter
4. Print using the standard lpr command:
lpr –PLabelPrinter
filename
5. For AT&T based UNIX systems, such as SCO, use the standard lp command:
lp –dLabelPrinter
filename
Configuring for Sun Solaris
To use an EasyLAN Wireless with Sun Solaris, first use the Host Manager in the
Admintool utility to add the EasyLAN Wireless IP address and name to the /etc/hosts
file.
To use the Host Manager to add the EasyLAN Wireless IP address
1. Open Host Manager in the Admintool utility. For help, see the documentation for
your Sun Solaris system.
2. Click None – Use /etc files on host.
3. Click Apply.
4. Click Edit, and then click Add Host.
5. Enter the EasyLAN Wireless name as the Host Name (this name is anything you
want, but should not have an underscore (_) character in it).
6. Enter the IP address and MAC address of the EasyLAN Wireless (the MAC address
has the format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff).
7. Click Add.
8. Close the Host Manager windows. Now you are ready to use the Printer Manager in
the Admintool utility.

servicename is the print service name. For binary graphics files, use the service
BINARY_P1; for text files, use the service TEXT_P1.
7. Make sure that the Print Server OS is set to BSD (this is the default setting).
8. Select Add.
9. To print, use the standard lp command:
lp –dLabelPrinter
filename
Note: We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or
other name services.
Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may
encounter problems printing very long print jobs. The workaround is to configure the
EasyLAN Wireless as an HP JetDirect card using the HP JetAdmin for UNIX software.
Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the lpadmin
command.

Troubleshooting the EasyLAN Wireless

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the EasyLAN Wireless.
Troubleshooting Printing Problems
First, check the printer to make sure it is online and has media and ribbon.
If the printer is working fine, test the connection between the printer and the EasyLAN
Wireless by pushing the test switch on the back of the printer for less than 5 seconds.
Note: Remember, if a test label does not print, the printer may still be able to print
through the EasyLAN Wireless. Set up the printer as you normally would and try
printing from an application.
If the test label does not print, try resetting the EasyLAN Wireless to factory defaults by
holding the test switch for more than 5 seconds.
Troubleshooting Wireless Configuration Problems
Make sure your computer’s wireless adapter or access point is configured properly and
note the settings paying special attention to the wireless mode, SSID or network name,
WEP or security, and IP address settings so you can configure your EasyLAN Wireless
to the same wireless settings.
Make sure you have a good wireless signal from your PC and from the EasyLAN
Wireless. Make sure that the EasyLAN Wireless is within range (90 meters or 300 feet),
and that it is away from metal objects and other devices with radio signals (such as
Bluetooth radios, cordless phones, and microwave ovens).
Make sure your computer is set to infrastructure mode if you are connecting through an
access point or ad-hoc (802.11) if you are connecting to the EasyLAN Wireless without
an access point. See the documentation for your wireless adapter for details.
If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or security on your
wireless network, you need to temporarily disable WEP on your PC in order to
configure the EasyLAN Wireless. If you are using an access point with WEP enabled
and it does not allow non-WEP clients to communicate with other non-WEP clients,
then you need to temporarily change the wireless mode of your computer to ad-hoc
(802.11) mode.
Note: If no computers on your network can be set to ad-hoc mode, you need to
temporarily disable WEP on your access point. When you are done configuring the
EasyLAN Wireless, you can re-enable WEP on your computer and change the wireless
mode back if necessary.
EasyLAN Wireless User’s Manual
5-4
If you want to use WEP encryption or password protect your wireless network, and your
wireless adapter or access point normally uses a password or passphrase instead of
WEP, it should allow you to enter 0x followed by a 10 digit (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP)
or 26 digit (for 128-bit WEP) key in hexadecimal format (0 to 9 or A to F).
If you are experiencing slow performance or are having intermittent problems
connecting, try changing the RF channel of your wireless network. For help configuring
the RF channel using the Web browser interface or the EasyLAN Wireless Admin
utility, see Chapter 2, “Configuring the EasyLAN Wireless.” For help changing the RF
channel on your wireless adapter or access point, see the documentation for those
products. You should change it to at least three channels lower or higher than any other
wireless networks within range.
Troubleshooting Network Configuration
If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the EasyLAN Wireless are
on the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host.
The IP address you assign to the EasyLAN Wireless must be on the same logical
network as your host computers (for example, if your computer has an IP address of
192.189.207.3, the EasyLAN Wireless should have an IP address of 192.189.207.x
where x is an integer between 1 and 254), or you must properly configure your router
address to work with the EasyLAN Wireless.
If your EasyLAN Wireless is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP address, it is
possible the EasyLAN Wireless IP address can change. Either configure your DHCP
server to give the EasyLAN Wireless a permanent lease or configure the EasyLAN
Wireless to be on a Static address outside the scope of DHCP addresses.
