ENWWWireless networking basics 3 Wireless networking basics The HP LaserJet 1320nw printer has an internal HP Jetdirect wireless print server that supports both wired and wireless connectivity. To connect to a wireless network, the printer uses wireless protocol IEEE 802.11b/g that communicates data through radio transmission. After installing the printer to a wireless network, cables are not required to communicate with the computers or devices that are part of the network. NoteThe printer is compatible with 802.11b/g-compliant devices. A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a collection of two or more computers, printers, and other devices linked by radio waves. A WLAN uses high-frequency airwaves (radio) to communicate information from one point to another. To connect a computer or device to a wireless network, the computer or device must have a wireless network adapter. The HP LaserJet 1320nw printer uses an internal networking component that contains a wireless network adapter and radio. No cabling is necessary between networked devices that use wireless technology, although it is possible to use a cable to configure your printer for a wireless network. This is the recommended installation method. The following sections contain overview information about wireless channels and communication modes, networking profiles, and network security. Channels and communication modes The band of radio signals used for IEEE 802.11b/g wireless networking is segmented into specific frequencies, or channels. For IEEE 802.11b/g wireless networks, 14 channels are available. But each country/region specifies the channels that are authorized for use. For example, in North America, only channels 1 through 11 are allowed. In Japan, channels 1 through 14 can be used. In Europe, except for France, channels 1 through 13 are allowed. Because existing standards change frequently, you should check with your local regulatory agencies for authorized channel use. In most countries/regions channels 10 and 11 may be used without restriction. Channel selection depends on the communication mode of the network. The communication mode defines how devices, such as computers and printers, communicate on a wireless network. There are two primary types of wireless communication modes: infrastructure and ad-hoc.
4 Chapter 1 Networking basicsENWW Infrastructure mode In infrastructure mode, the printer communicates with network computers through a wireless access point (WAP) or a base station. The access point acts as a central hub or gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices. (Most access points have an integrated Ethernet controller to connect to an existing wired-Ethernet network.) If your printer connects through a wireless residential gateway that provides access point functions, choose infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode In ad-hoc mode, which is sometimes called peer-to-peer mode, the printer communicates with your computer directly, rather than through an access point or base station. Each device on an ad-hoc network must have a wireless network adapter. The adapter enables each device to communicate with the other devices on the network. Ad-hoc mode is usually limited to simple, small wireless networks because performance degrades significantly after connecting too many network devices. This option is most often used if you are connecting only two network devices that are not sharing an Internet connection. NoteFor maximum performance, HP recommends connecting the printer to a network that communicates using the infrastructure mode.
