Wireless network setup

Wireless network setup

	Make sure your machine supports wireless networking. Wireless networkingmay not be available depending on the model (see Features by models).

Getting started

Understanding your network type

Typically, you can only have one connection betweenyour computer and the machine at a time.

	Infrastructure mode Thisis an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs (SmallOffice/ Home Office). This mode usesan access point to communicate with the wireless machine.
	Ad hoc mode Thismode does not use an access point. The wireless computerand wireless machine communicate directly.

Wireless network name and NetworkPassword

Wireless networks require higher security, so whenan access point is first set up, a network name (SSID), thetype of security used, and a Network Password are createdfor the network. Ask your network administrator about thisinformation before proceeding with the machine installation.

Introducing wireless set up methods

You can set wireless settings either from the machine or thecomputer. Choose the setting method from the below table.

	Some wireless network installation types maynot be available depending on the model or country.

Set up method	Connecting method	Description & Reference
WithAccess Point	From the computer	Windows user, see Access point via USB cable.
		Windows user, see Access point without a USB cable (recommended).
		Mac user, see Access point via USB cable. Mac user, see Access point without a USB cable (recommended)
	From the machine’scontrol panel	See Connectingin PBC mode. See Connectingin PIN mode.
Without AccessPoint	From the computer	Windows user, see Ad hoc via USB cable.
		Mac user, see Ad hoc via USB cable.
	Wi-Fi Direct setup	See Setting up Wi-FiDirect.

If problems occurduring wireless set up or driver installation, refer tothe troubleshooting chapter (see Troubleshooting). It is strongly recommended that you set the passwordon Access Points. If you do not set the password on AccessPoints, they might be exposed to illegal access from unknown machines including PCs, smart phonesand printers. Refer to the Access Point user' guide forpassword settings.

Using the WPS button

If your machine and an access point (or wirelessrouter) support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), youcan easily configure the wireless network settings by pressing the (WPS) buttonon the control panel without a computer.

If you want to use the wireless networkusing the infrastructure mode, make sure that the networkcable is disconnected from the machine. Using the WPS (PBC) button orentering the PIN from the computer to connect to the access point (orwireless router) varies depending on the access point (orwireless router) you are using. Refer to the user'sguide of the access point (or wireless router) youare using. When using the WPS button to set the wireless network, securitysettings may change. To prevent this, lock theWPS option for the current wireless security settings. Theoption name may differ depending on the access point (orwireless router) you are using.

Items to prepare

• Check if the access point (orwireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).

• Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi ProtectedSetup™ (WPS).

• Networked computer (PIN mode only)

Other problems

If problems occur while using the machine on a network, checkthe following:

	For information on the access point (or wirelessrouter), refer to its own user's guide.

• You cannot enable wired and wirelessnetworks at the same time.

• Your computer, access point (orwireless router), or machine may not be turnedon.

• Check the wireless reception around the machine. Ifthe router is far from the machine or there is an obstacle, youmight have difficulty receiving the signal.

• Cycle the power for the access point (orwireless router), machine, and computer. Sometimescycling the power can recover network communication.

• Check whether firewall software (V3 orNorton) is blocking the communication.

  If the computer and the machine are connected on the samenetwork and it cannot be found when searching, firewallsoftware might be blocking the communication. Refer tothe user's guide for the software to turn it off and try searchingfor the machine again.

• Check whether the machine's IP address is allocatedcorrectly. You can check the IP address by printing thenetwork configuration report.

• Check whether the access point (or wirelessrouter) has a configured security (password). Ifit has a password, refer to the access point (orwireless router) administrator.

• Check the machine's IP address. Reinstallthe machine driver and change the settings to connect to the machineon the network. Due to the characteristics of DHCP, theallocated IP address could change if the machine is not used fora long time or if the access point has been reset.

  Register the product's MAC address when you confogure theDHCP server on the access point (or wireless router). Thenyou can always use the IP address that is set with the MAC address. Youcan identify the Mac address of your machine by printing a networkconfiguration report (see Printing a network configuration report).

• Check the wireless environment. You mightnot be able to connect to the network in the infrastructure environmentwhere you need to type in a user's information before connectingto the access point (or wireless router).

• This machine only supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other wireless communicationtypes (e.g., Bluetooth) arenot supported.

• When using the ad hoc mode, in operatingsystems such as Windows Vista, you might need to set thewireless connection setting every time you use the wireless machine.

• You cannot use infrastructure mode and ad hoc modeat the same time for Samsung wireless network machines.

• The machine is within the range of the wirelessnetwork.

• The machine is located away from obstacles thatcould block the wireless signal.

  Remove any large metal objects between the access point (orwireless router) and the machine.

  Make sure the machine and wireless access point (orwireless router) are not separated by poles, walls, orsupport columns containing metal or concrete.

• The machine is located away from other electronicdevices that may interfere with the wireless signal.

  Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, includinga microwave oven and some Bluetooth devices.

• Whenever the configuration of your access point (orwireless router) changes, you must do the product'swireless network setup again.

• The maximum number of device that can be connectedvia Wi-Fi Direct is 3.

• If Wi-Fi Direct is ON, this machine only supportsIEEE 802.11 b/g.

• If the access point is set to work with the 802.11nstandard only, it may not connect to your machine.
