General information Contacts Guide d) Connecting via Wireless networks CONSIDERATIONS ON THE SAFETY OF THE WI-FI NETWORKS: The EIDOS printers do not support the cryptography protocols (es. WEP, WPA) often used to increase the safety of the wireless networks against hackers. For the management of the EIDOS printers in WI-FI networks, EIDOS advises the following operations: 1) to create a local Wlan EIDOS network (SSID=EIDOS) independent from the network (LAN/WLAN) already existing in the company. 2) to enable the “Mac Filtering” option in the Access Point parameters. This filter will avoid that other wi-fi devices with MAC address not presents in the list could communicate with the EIDOS Wlan network, reducing the risk of hackers attack. AP (Access point) – device of a local wireless network in which the data converge that come from the devices connected by the specified protocol (e.g:WI-FI). LAN (Local Area Network) - a LAN consists of a series of devices that are connected together that share resources and peripherals. MAC Address (Media Access Control address) - in computer networking is a unique identifier attached to most forms of networking equipment. SSID (Service Set IDentifier) – the wireless network has its own identifying address called SSID, that the wireless cards have to recognise in order to be able to be connected. A device that has no SSID cannot log into the network. WI-FI (Wireless Fidelity) – certification of the products for wireless networks that conform to Ethernet compatibility specifications. WI-FI technology, which is also known as 802.11b IEEE wireless technology, uses the same Ethernet standards (cabled networks). WLAN – network consisting of wireless devices.

General information Contacts Guide NOTES ON ALL RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATIONS: • The PC does not need to be connected to the company network; it can also be stand-alone • If the PC is connected to the company network, EASYCODE, STARCODE and other programmes can use the customer database or the archive of labels resident in a disc of the company network. • Assigning the SSID isolates the local EIDOS WLAN network from any other WI-FI networks current in the company or to be installed in future. Even if IP addresses that are already in use on other WLAN networks are assigned to the EIDOS printers the different SSID will make the network units separate from one another. • Using a laptop and a USB to WI-FI converter (configured with the same network SSID and an IP address that is not assigned to another - PC, AP unit EIDOS printers – of the network) it is possible to communicate in WI-FI with the different connected printers without any need to connect via cable or to use other APs. • In order to increase the communication distance between AP and EIDOS printers, it is possible to fit the AP with higher-performance direction or bipolst antennas instead of the 2 antennas provided. In this way, (theoretical) distances of 100-150m can be reached. IP –unique numeric address of the device connected to the network. The numbers of an IP address are used to identify a network and a particular host (each terminal connected to the network that hosts application level programmes).
