Wireless networking basics

The HP LaserJet 1022nw printer has an internal HP wireless print server that supports both

wired and wireless connectivity. However, the printer does not support simultaneous wired

and wireless connections. 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.

NOTE

The 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 1022nw 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.

Common wireless network adapters include the following:

● USB adapter: An external device that connects to a USB port on the computer (typically

has a PCMCIA card attached to one end).

● Notebook adapter: A PCMCIA card that plugs directly into one of the PCMCIA slots on

your laptop or other portable computer.

● Desktop computer adapter: A dedicated ISA or PCI card, or a PCMCIA card with a

special adapter, that plugs into your desktop computer.

● AirPort adapter: A wireless card that plugs directly into the AirPort slot on your

Macintosh laptop or desktop computer. AirPort adapters eliminate the need for cable

connections to the computer.

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.

ENWW Wireless networking basics 3

Infrastructure mode (preferred)

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.

NOTE

For maximum performance, HP recommends connecting the printer to a network that

communicates using the infrastructure mode.

Security

As with other networks, security for wireless networks focuses on access control and

privacy. Traditional wireless network security includes the use of Service Set Identifiers

(SSIDs), open or shared-key authentication, static Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys,

and optional Media Access Control (MAC) authentication. This combination offers a basic

level of access control and privacy.

4 Chapter 1 Networking basics ENWW

More advanced levels of security (such as Wi-Fi protected access [WPA] and Pre-shared

key) are available through the printer’s embedded Web server. For introductory information

about the embedded Web server, see

Embedded Web server. For detailed information

about using the features, see the embedded Web server online help.

NOTE

It is highly recommended that you implement a wireless security scheme (either WEP or

WPA) prior to setup. In addition, use an antivirus program to protect against computer

viruses, and follow basic security rules such as setting strong passwords and not opening

unknown attachments. Other network components, including firewalls, intrusion-detection

systems, and segmented networks, should also be considered as part of your network design.

Authentication and encryption are two different approaches to network security.

Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device before granting access to the network,

making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access network resources. Encryption

encodes the data being sent across the network, making the data unintelligible to

unauthorized users. Both of these security methods are common on wireless networks.

Authentication

The HP installation software supports Open System authentication. More advanced forms of

authentication are available through the embedded Web server.

A network with Open System authentication does not screen network users based on their

identities and usually involves supplying the correct SSID. Such a network might use Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption to provide a first level of security, or Wi-Fi protected

access (WPA) to provide security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one

wireless device to another wireless device. The HP LaserJet 1022nw wireless printer allows

for either WEP or WPA.

NOTE

Shared key and server-based authentication protocols are implemented through the

embedded Web server. For introductory information about the embedded Web server, see

Embedded Web server. For detailed information about using the features, see the

embedded Web server online help.

Network name (SSID)

Wireless devices are configured with the name of the network to which they will connect.

The network name is also called the SSID and identifies the ESS (Extended Service Set)

that is normally associated with larger infrastructure networks.

The SSID should not be considered a security feature because it can be easily identified.

However, as a network administration or management feature, it does provide basic network

access control.

Encryption

To reduce your network exposure to eavesdropping, establish a wireless security key for

your network. The printer installation software supports the WEP security scheme, which

hinders unauthorized users from accessing data transmitted over the radio waves. It is

based on the use of a single WEP key, in which case each computer or device is configured

with the same key to communicate on that network.

ENWW Wireless networking basics 5

NOTE

Up to four WEP keys might be used on a wireless network for transmission of data. For

example, if you have three computers and an access point, each might be assigned a

distinct key for transmitting data. However, the remaining keys must also be entered on each

device so they can communicate with each other. The installation software for the

HP LaserJet 1022nw printer provides the option to type one WEP key. If you want to use

more than one WEP key, those keys must be entered into the printer’s embedded Web

server prior to installing the software. For introductory information about the embedded Web

server, see

Embedded Web server. For detailed information about using the features, see

the embedded Web server online help.

Media access control address authentication

Some WLAN vendors support authentication based on the physical address, or MAC

address, of the client Network Interface Card (NIC). In this scenario, an access point allows

association by a client only if that client’s MAC address matches an address in an

authentication table used by the access point. This is not configurable through the printer.

Wireless profiles

A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network. Many

wireless devices have configuration utilities that allow the device to have wireless profiles for

several wireless networks. In order to use the printer, the printer's wireless settings must

match the computer's network settings for that wireless network.

For example, a person uses the same wireless-enabled laptop at work and at home. Each

network has a unique set of wireless settings. The person creates the following wireless

profiles on the laptop:

● at_work: Contains the network settings for the office wireless network

● at_home: Contains the network settings for the home wireless network

When the laptop is being used at work, the person must set the wireless profile to at_work in

order to connect to the office network. Conversely, the laptop must be set to the at_home

wireless profile when the person is at home and wants to connect the laptop to the home

network.

NOTE

The HP LaserJet 1022nw printer cannot be connected to a wired and wireless network at the

same time.

Chapter overview

This chapter contains information that will be useful if you are installing the printer to a

wireless network, or if you are changing printer or network settings after you have installed

the printer. Specifically, this chapter contains a description of the printer Wireless light and

the configuration page, and an overview of the embedded Web server (EWS). In addition,

this chapter contains procedures for resetting the printer network setting and for switching

between wireless and wired communications.

The procedure you follow for installing the printer to a wireless network depends on whether

the network communicates through an infrastructure mode or through an ad-hoc mode. You

can find procedures for installing the printer to a wireless network in the HP LaserJet

1022nw printer Wireless Getting Started Guide that was packaged with the printer. For more

information about infrastructure and ad-hoc networks, see

Wireless networking basics.

NOTE

For maximum efficiency, HP recommends the printer be connected to a network that uses

the infrastructure communication mode.

NOTE

The printer cannot be connected to a wired and wireless network at the same time.

8 Chapter 2 Support information for installing to a wireless network ENWW

Printer Wireless light

The HP LaserJet 1022nw printer has an internal networking component that provides

wireless connectivity. To view the status of the wireless communications, the printer contains

a Wireless light.

● If the light is on, the printer is connected to a wireless network.

● If the light flashes, the printer is scanning for a wireless network.

● If the light is off, wireless networking is disabled.

ENWW Printer Wireless light 9

Configuration page

The printer includes an internal component that provides networking capability for both wired

and wireless connectivity. This section contains a procedure for printing a configuration

page, as well as a description of the general network and wireless network fields that display

on the page.

Printing a configuration page

When the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the G

button until the Ready light

starts blinking.

General and wireless network settings

NOTE

All of the settings on the configuration page should match the settings of the network with

which you are trying to connect. If any values are different, you might not be able to connect

to the network.

The following sections describe the various fields on the configuration page.

General network settings

Field Description

Hardware Address

The Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies

the printer. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned

to networking hardware for identification, like a digital fingerprint. No

two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.

NOTE

Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of the

Network Card or LAN Adapter that was connected to your cable or

DSL modem during installation.

Firmware Version

The internal networking component and device firmware revision

code separated by a hyphen.

NOTE

You might be asked to provide the firmware revision code if you call

for support.

Host Name

The TCP/IP name assigned by the install software to the device. By

default, these are the letters NPI followed by the last six digits of the

MAC address. You can also configure the device name through the

embedded Web server.

10 Chapter 2 Support information for installing to a wireless network ENWW

Field Description

IP Address

The printer's Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address uniquely

identifies the device on the network.

IP addresses are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP.

You can also set up a static IP address, though this is not

recommended.

Manually assigning an invalid IP address during install will cause

your network components to not see the device.

Config by

The protocol used to assign the IP address to the device:

● AutoIP: the installation software determines the configuration

parameters.

● DHCP: the configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic

host configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On

small networks, this could be a router.

● Manual: the configuration parameters are set manually, such

as a static IP address.

● BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is an Internet protocol

that enables a device to discover its own IP address, the IP

address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be

loaded into memory to boot the machine. This enables the

device to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive.

mDNS Name

Multicast Domain Name Server Service Name. The name used by

Apple Rendezvous to identify the printer, which consists of the

device name and the MAC address.

Apple Rendezvous is used with local and ad-hoc networks that do

not use central DNS servers. To perform name services,

Rendezvous uses a DNS alternative called mDNS.

With mDNS, your computer can find and use any printer connected

to your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-

enabled device that appears on the network.

Link Status

The protocol for transmitting data over a network:

● 802.11b and 802.11g: for wireless network

● 10T-Full: for wired network

● 10T-Half: for wired network

● 100TX-Full: for wired network

● 100TX-Half: for wired network

ENWW Configuration page 11

Wireless network settings

Field Description

Wireless Status

Status of the wireless network:

● Disabled: the wireless 802.11b/g network is disabled when the

wired 802.3 network is active. This is the default setting.

● Enabled

Communication

Mode

An IEEE 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations

communicate with each other:

● Infrastructure: the printer communicates with other network

devices through a wireless access point, such as a wireless

router or base station.

● Ad-hoc: the printer communicates directly with each device on

the network. No wireless access point is used. This is also

called a peer-to-peer network. On Macintosh networks, ad-hoc

mode is called computer-to-computer mode.

Network Name

(SSID)

Service Set Identifier. A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that

differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN) from another.

The SSID is also referred to as the Network Name—the name of

the network to which the printer is connected.

Data transmission and receipt information

Field Description

Total Packets

Received

The number of packets received by the printer without error since it

has been turned on. The counter clears after the printer is turned off.

Bad Packets

Received

The number of packets received with errors since the printer has

been turned on. The counter clears after the printer is turned off.

Total Packets

Transmitted

The number of packets transmitted by the printer without error since

it has been turned on. The counter clears after the printer is turned

off.

When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it

is broken up into packets. Each packet contains the destination

address as well as the data.

12 Chapter 2 Support information for installing to a wireless network ENWW

Embedded Web server

The embedded Web server provides a convenient way to manage your printer on a network.

The embedded Web server is available for the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer over the Internal

HP network connection. The following information applies to the embedded Web server:

● You do not need to install any software on the computer. You only need to have a

supported Web browser. To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft

Internet Explorer 5.5 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.

● The embedded Web server is available in English only.

● The embedded Web server does not provide e-mail or status alerts.

The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage

printing functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. The following

are examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server:

● View printer status information

● Order new supplies

● View and change the printer default configuration settings

● View and change the printer’s wired -or wireless network settings

The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network.

The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based printer connections or AppleTalk.

NOTE

Internet access is not required to open and use the embedded Web server. However, if you

click a link in the Other Links area, you must have Internet access in order to go to the site

associated with the link.

CAUTION

It is recommended that the printer and associated computers reside on the same subnet.

Printer installation across subnets can be problematic depending on the type of router used.

However, if the printer is on a different subnet than your computer, enter the printer's IP

address (for example, http://192.168.1.1) in the browser's Address fields to open the

embedded Web server. Also, if your computer uses a proxy server to access the Internet,

you might need to configure your browser to by-pass the proxy server in order to access the

embedded Web server.

To open the embedded Web server

1. In a supported Web browser, type the IP address or hostname for the printer. To find the

IP address, print a configuration page at the printer by pressing and holding the G

button until the Ready light starts blinking.

NOTE

Once you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.

2. The embedded Web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about

the printer: the Information tab, the Settings tab, and the Networking tab. Click the tab

that you want to view.

ENWW Embedded Web server 13

Information tab

The Information tab contains the following pages:

● Device Status. This page displays the printer and supplies status. This page also

displays product information such as the network name, network address, and model

information.

● Configuration. This page shows information found on the printer Configuration page.

Settings tab

This tab allows you to configure the printer from your computer. If this printer is networked,

always consult with the printer administrator before changing settings on this tab. The

Settings tab contains the Print Settings page. On the Print Settings page you can view

and change basic information about the printer.
