Xerox® Wireless Print Solutions AdapterUser Guide216Network PageYou can view and configure the Ethernet and WLAN interface details on the Network Page. You can alsoconfigure the Wireless Print Solutions Adapter settings. Interface settings are related to the configurationof the IP and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IPtraffic.The Wireless Print Solutions Adapter contains two network interfaces. Only one interface can be active at atime unless bridging is enabled. Then both interfaces are activated and the bridging subsystem controlsthem. The Ethernet interface is called Network (eth0), and the WLAN interface is called Network (wlan0).Notes:• Some settings require a reboot to take effect. For details, see System on page 41.• After you reboot the adapter, wait at least 30 seconds before you connect to the device.The Wireless Print Solutions Adapter supports bridging of traffic between a single external Ethernet deviceand the wireless network. When bridging is enabled and active, the MAC address of the external device isused as the MAC address for the WLAN interface. The device then bridges traffic between the twointerfaces. The external Ethernet device appears as a wireless node on the network.Access Point SettingsSoftware Access Point (Soft AP) is a feature that allows you to create an access point for your Wireless PrintSolutions Adapter so that wireless devices can locate and connect to it. When you use Soft AP, the WirelessPrint Solutions Adapter broadcasts its SSID. This allows wireless devices to locate it and connect to it. TheWireless Print Solutions Adapter SSID appears as wpsa-xxxx where the last four digits of the address arethe last four digits of the MAC address for the adapter. The Soft AP feature is useful to help you configurethe Wireless Print Solutions Adapter for the first time before you connect it to a wireless network. Thedefault IP address for the Wireless Print Solutions Adapter is 192.168.0.1.To Configure Access Point Settings1. On the Network Page, click Access Point.2. Configure the access point details.– To enable the Wireless Print Solutions Adapter to broadcast its SSID, for State, select Enabled.– For IP Address, enter the IP address of the Soft AP interface.– For Network Name (SSID), type the network name or the SSID for the access point. The SSIDdetails update automatically without rebooting the adapter.CAUTION: To be able to restore the wireless adapter at a later time, ensure that you exportthe WLAN Profile, HTTP Authentication URI, and the soft AP groups with export secretsenabled.
