The Lexmark 802.11g Wireless Print Adapter allows enterprises to easily convert a multifunction device or printer with standard Ethernet connectivity to a wireless network. The wireless adapter connects to the existing Ethernet print server transforming the Ethernet signal to an 802.11g wireless signal. Lexmark's solution allows business customers to safely easily migrate towards the 802.11g standard. Additionally, the solution allows our customers to leverage their existing capital investment in networking and still deliver the advantages and benefits of wireless. The Lexmark Wireless Print Adapter can be used in either ad-hoc or infrastructure mode. ---Ad hoc mode – a communications mode that allows one wireless device to communicate directly to another wireless device --- Infrastructure mode – each wireless device communicates through an Access Point (AP) to the other device. The Lexmark 802.11g Wireless Print Adapter is designed to operate with only a single printer or multifunction device. A separate 802.11g Wireless Print Adapter is required for each individual printer or mulitfunction device being placed on the wireless network.
Delivers up to 54 Mbps transfer rates and operates at a maximum distance of 1200 feet in open space.
Offers Enterprise Level Security supporting TKIP, 802.1X and EAP/MD5 authentication Algorithms.
