• Infrastructure: Devices on the network communicate with each other through access points. In Infrastructure Mode, wireless and wired devices can communicate with each other.
• Adhoc: Devices on the network communicate without using access points. Ad hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required.
Infrastructure
Power Mode Specifies the power management setting for the radio:
• Constant Awake Mode• Fast Power Saving• Power Saving

IP Assignment Method (IPv4)
Specifies how the printer obtains its IP address:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): The printer automatically receives its settings from a DHCP server.
• BOOTP (BOOTstrap Protocol): The printer automatically receives its settings from a BOOTP server.
• DHCP+BOOTP: The printer probes the network to receive its settings either from a DHCP server or from a BOOTP server.
• Manual: Manually configure the communications settings. If you select this option, you also need to configure IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Router.
DHCP
IP Address (IPv4) Specifies the unique network level address assigned to each device in a TCP/IP network.
0.0.0.0
IP Assignment Method? (IPv6)
Specifies how the printer obtains its IP address:
• Automatic: The printer automatically receives its settings from the network.
• Automatic+DHCP: The printer automatically receives its settings from the network through a combination of automatic and DHCP.
• DHCP: The printer automatically receives its settings from the network through DHCP.
• Manual: Manually configure the IP Address.

Security Type Selects the protocol the radio uses to verify its identity and makes sure that it is authorized to communicate on the wireless network.
None
Association Specifies the security method (depending on the security type) used to grant access to the wireless network:
• Open/WEP• Shared/WEP• WPA/TKIP• WPA2/AES
Open/WEP
Pre-Shared Key For WPA and WPA2 security, specifies the passphrase that allows the radio to authenticate over the wireless network. Range is 8 to 64 characters.
None
Network Key Index Selects the active network key to use for WEP security. Range is 1 to 4.
None

Network Key 1, Network Key 2, Network Key 3, Network Key 4
Defines a network key that is used for WEP security. Keys are entered in ASCII or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format.
Empty string
Username Sets the name that the printer uses when logging in to the network.Range is 1 to 96 characters.
None
Password Sets the password that the printer uses when logging in to the network. Range is 1 to 96 characters.
None
Anonymous Name? Sets the outer EAP user name that the printer uses for logging in to the network. Maximum length is 96 characters.
Anonymous
Inner Authentication
Selects the authentication method that is used when the EAP type is EAP-FAST, PEAP, or TTLS.
EAP/MSCHAPv2
CA Certificate Sets the name of the Certificate Authority (CA) that verifies the server certificate. This CA should be the same one that was used to sign the server certificate.
intermec.pem
Client Certificate Sets the name of the client certificate the printer uses to authenticate to the network using EAP-TLS. Maximum length is 128 characters.
None
Client Key Sets the private key the printer uses for EAP-TLS. Maximum length is 128 characters. Use the certinstall.sh script to install the certificate correctly.
None
Server Common Name 1
Sets the certificate name that is on the primary authentication server. If this value is none, then the value for Server Common Name 2 is used.Range is 1 to 96 characters.
None

Server Common Name 2
Sets the certificate name that is on the secondary authentication server.If this value is none, then the value for Server Common Name 1 is used.Range is 1 to 96 characters.
None
Validate Certificate Determines if the identity of the authentication server is verified using its certificate when using EAP-TTLS, PEAP, or EAP-TLS.Intermec recommends that you set Validate Certificate to Yes.
No
PAC Sets the name of the Protected Access Credential (PAC) that is used for EAP-FAST authentication. The printer uses this file if Acquire PAC is on and the current installed PAC fails to authenticate the printer to the network.
eap-fast.pac
Acquire PAC Determines if automatic PAC file provisioning is on for EAP-FAST authentication.
Off
Fast Roaming (CCKM)
Determines if the printer can roam from one access point to another without reauthenticating with the server. CCKM only works in wireless networks using LEAP.
Disable
Mixed Mode (Group = TKIP)
Determines if the printer can use either TKIP or AES for data encryption, depending on the configuration of the access point.
