Introduction

About Your Network Interface

The EpsonNet 802.11g Wireless Ext. Print Server is a wireless

network interface that connects to the USB port of an Epson device

(such as printer or all-in-one). With this network interface, you

can create a wireless connection between the Epson device and a

local area network using the IEEE 802.11b/g communication

standard.

A radio signal is transmitted over the wireless network when you

send a job to the device. Then the device prints or scans the file

when the network interface receives the radio signal directly from

a computer or from an access point.

This network interface is Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with

other 802.11-compliant products.

Because the network interface supports multiple protocols and

automatically detects protocols on your network, you can print

from Microsoft®Windows®, Apple®Macintosh®, UNIX®, and

IBM®OS/2 applications.

Use EpsonNet EasyInstall to easily configure the network

interface for use on a TCP/IP network. If you are using an

all-in-one, EpsonNet EasyInstall installs the drivers on your

computer. You can use the device on the TCP/IP network at once.

For protocols such as TCP/IP, NetWare, NetBEUI, AppleTalk®,

IPP, and SNMP, you can use EpsonNet Config, the configuration

utility provided with your product, to quickly and easily

configure the network interface to use these protocols.

Note:

The EpsonNet Config utility configures the network interface to work

only with protocols that exist on your network. This does not imply that

you can use all of the above-mentioned protocols on your network or

operating system. The protocols that the network interface can use may

vary depending on the operating system and the network configuration.

About This Guide

This Reference Guide contains information about using the

network interface on a network. It includes how to set up the

network interface, install the configuration software, and modify

network settings of your device and computer.

For information about your device, see the manual shipped with

the device.

Note:

❏To read the online guide, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer

4.0 (or later) or Netscape Navigator 4.0 (or later) installed on your

computer.

❏This guide is written for network administrators, and many of the

steps included here require detailed network knowledge and

administrator rights.

❏The term “network administrator” refers to the person responsible

for maintaining the network. “Administrator” is synonymous with

“Supervisor” in this guide.

❏The term “network interface” refers to the EpsonNet 802.11g

Wireless Ext. Print Server in this guide.

❏The term “device” refers to the printer or all-in-one that is supported

by the network interface.

Instructions on Using the Network Interface

Notes on powering on and off

❏Do not turn off the device and the network interface when

changing the settings. This may damage the device and the

network interface.

❏Do not turn off the device and the network interface while

printing is in progress. This may cause operational trouble to

the computer sending the print data and suspend the printing

process.

❏Do not turn off the network interface during a firmware

update. Otherwise, the update cannot be completed correctly

and the network interface may not turn on (may not work)

after the update.

Notes on USB connection

❏Only supported devices can connect to a USB downstream

connector of the network interface. Do not use a USB hub.

❏Only IBM compatible computer or Macintosh equipped with

USB can connect to a USB upstream connector of the network

interface.

Notes on security

❏WEP Key

Set a WEP Key or WPA-PSK to prevent wireless interception

by unauthorized persons. The wireless transmission speed is

reduced when WEP or WPA-PSK is enabled because time is

required for encryption and decryption.

❏Security lock

Insert a commercially available theft-prevention cable

through the security lock, which is located on the back panel

of the network interface, to secure the device to a table or

pillar. This network interface is compatible with the

Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

Notes on radio waves

❏Radio wave interference may occur when there are devices

that use radio waves within the 2.4 GHz ISM band near the

network interface. Therefore, separate the network interface

from these devices as much as possible to prevent radio wave

interference.

❏When using the network interface in the Ad Hoc mode, radio

wave interference may occur if the channel of the network

interface and the other devices are close to each other.

Therefore, separate a few channels from the channel used near

the network interface.

❏Shorten the distance of the network interface and devices that

communicate with the network interface.

Where to locate the network interface

❏The location of the network interface must be considered to

improve the wireless communication. The rotary stand can

provide a good position. The condition of radio wave can be

checked using EpsonNet Config, lights of the network

interface, and the status sheet.

Package Contents

Your network interface package includes the following items.
