Getting Started

The Intermec EasyLAN™Wireless Model AW02 is an IEEE

802.11b radio option that can be installed in the EasyCoder®

3400e, 4420, and 4440 printers.

The EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 with

an IEEE 802.11b radio installed is Wi-Fi®

certified for interoperability with other

802.11b wireless LAN devices.

In an ad-hoc network, a printer with EasyLAN Wireless

communicates wirelessly with a PC that contains an 802.11b/g

radio. In an infrastructure network, a printer with EasyLAN

Wireless communicates with other wired and wireless devices via

an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.

What’s New in Firmware Version 4.35?

EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 firmware version 4.35 provides

these new features:

•The EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 with an IEEE 802.11b

radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for interoperability with

other 802.11b wireless LAN devices. Because 802.11g radios

are compatible with 802.11b radios, the EasyLAN Wireless

can communicate with 802.11b/g devices. The connection

must be established with negotiated 802.11b data rates only.

•You can now use the web browser interface and a remote

TFTP server to reload or update your firmware. For help, see

the EasyLAN Wireless User’s Manual (P/N 074980).

•You can now set the Encryption Mode to Dynamic WEP,

WPA2, or WPA2-WPA. For help, see the EasyLAN Wireless

User’s Manual.

•You can now set your Authentication Type to PEAP. For

help, see the EasyLAN Wireless User’s Manual.

Out of the Box

Your printer with EasyLAN Wireless comes with these items:

•PrinterCompanion CD, which includes:

•EasyLAN Wireless User’s Manual (P/N 074980)

•EasyLAN Network Setup

•Intermec Printer Network Manager (IPNM)

•Intermec Print Monitor

•Printer quick start guide and safety supplement

EasyLAN Wireless Quick Start Guide 7

System Requirements

EasyLAN Wireless can communicate with 802.11b/g devices,

but the connection must be established with negotiated 802.11b

data rates only.

To set up printing through EasyLAN Wireless, you need to

know if you have an ad-hoc or infrastructure network:

•In an ad-hoc network, you need a PC with an 802.11b/g card

or other 802.11b/g device that prints straight to the printer.

•In an infrastructure network, you need an installed 802.11b/g

network that allows devices to print to the printer.

To use 802.1x security and TTLS, you need:

•an authentication server. You can use a PC with the Funk

Odyssey™RADIUS server software v1.1 or later. You can

use an Intermec MobileLAN™access point with software

v1.80 or later; for help, see the access point system manual.

Or, you can use a compatible authentication server.

•an authenticator that supports TTLS, such as an Intermec

MobileLAN access point with an 802.11b/g radio and

software v1.80 or later. The authenticator knows the IP

address and secret key of the authentication server and

translates TTLS frames to Remote Authentication Dial-In

User Service (RADIUS) frames and vice versa.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.30 or later.

To use 802.1x security and LEAP, you need:

•an authentication server. You can use a PC with the Funk

Odyssey RADIUS server software v1.1 or later. You can use

an Intermec MobileLAN access point with software v1.80 or

later; for help, see the access point system manual. You can

use a Cisco 1230, 1231, or 1300 access point as a LEAP

authentication server as well as the authenticator.

•an authenticator that supports LEAP, such as a Cisco 1200

series or Cisco 350 series access point with an 802.11b/g

radio.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.30 or later.

8 EasyLAN Wireless Quick Start Guide

To use 802.1x security and PEAP, you need:

•an authentication server. You can use a PC with the Funk

Odyssey RADIUS server software v1.1 or later. Or, you can

use a compatible authentication server.

•an authenticator that supports PEAP, such as an Intermec

MobileLAN access point with an 802.11b/g radio. The

authenticator knows the IP address and secret key of the

authentication server and translates PEAP frames to Remote

Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) frames and

vice versa.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.32 or later.

To use WPA-Personal, you need:

•an access point that supports WPA-Personal (PSK). You can

use an Intermec MobileLAN access point with software v1.80

or later. For help, see the access point system manual.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.30 or later.

To use WPA-Enterprise, you need:

•an authentication server. You can use a PC with the Funk

Odyssey RADIUS server software v1.1 or later. You can use

an Intermec MobileLANTM access point with software v1.80

or later; for help, see the access point system manual. Or, you

can use a compatible authentication server.

•an authenticator that supports both WPA and 802.1x, such as

an Intermec MobileLAN access point with an 802.11b/g

radio and software v1.80 or later. The authenticator knows

the IP address and secret key of the authentication server and

translates EAP frames to Remote Authentication Dial-In User

Service (RADIUS) frames and vice versa.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.30 or later.

EasyLAN Wireless Quick Start Guide 9

To use WPA2-Personal, you need:

•an access point that supports WPA2, such as a Cisco 1230,

1231, or 1300 access point. For help, see the access point

system manual.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.32 or later.

To use WPA2-Enterprise, you need:

•an authentication server. You can use a PC with the Funk

Odyssey RADIUS server software v1.1 or later. Or, you can

use a compatible authentication server.

•an authenticator that supports both WPA2 and 802.1x, such

as a Cisco 1230, 1231, or 1300 access point. For help, see the

access point system manual. The authenticator knows the IP

address and secret key of the authentication server and

translates EAP frames to Remote Authentication Dial-In User

Service (RADIUS) frames and vice versa.

•a printer with EasyLAN Wireless Model AW02 running

firmware version 4.32 or later.
