Configuration in Ad-hoc mode (For IEEE 802.11b)

Using configured SSID

If you are trying to pair the machine to a computer that is already in Ad-hoc mode with a configured SSID, you will need to complete the following steps:

Before configuring your machine we recommend you write down your wireless network settings. You will need this information before you continue with the configuration.

Check and record the current wireless network settings of your computer you are connecting with.

Note

The wireless network settings of the computer you are connecting with must be set to Ad-hoc mode with a SSID already configured. For instructions on how to configure your computer to Ad-hoc mode please see the information included with your computer or contact your network administrator.
