missions systems" under the Wireless Telegraphy Act, and does not require a radio
transmission license. The law prohibits modification of the interior of this product.
About TOSHIBA Wireless Solution
The Wireless LAN Module is a wireless network Module that complies with the IEEE
802.11 standard on wireless LANs (Revision B/G). The Wireless LAN Module supports
data rates up to 54 Mbit/s.
• Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This means that your Wire-
less hardware will communicate with other vendors’ IEEE 802.11 B/G compliant
wireless LAN product.
• Fully compatible with any of other wireless LAN system based on Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS)/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
radio technology that complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard on wireless LANs
(Revision B/G).
Wireless Interoperability
The TOSHIBA Wireless LAN products are designed to be interoperable with any Wire-
less LAN products that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)/Orthog-
onal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology, and is compliant to:
• The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B/G), as defined and
approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
• The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile
phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency
safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN is safe for
use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the
scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scien-
tists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the
proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situ-
ations may for example include:
• Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or
• In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services
is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific
organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization
to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
Safety Instruction for Wireless Products
If your computer has wireless function, all safety instructions must be read carefully and
must be fully understood, before attempting to use our Wireless Products.

1. Setting Up Wireless Network
10 GN-1040 Operator’s Manual — Before Setting Up Wireless Network
Before Setting Up Wireless Network
Thank you for purchasing the GN-1040 Wireless LAN Module.
This product is a wireless LAN Module using the 2.4 GHz spectrum diffusion system,
and is compatible with IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11b for wireless LAN.
When the Wireless LAN is enabled, users can perform the following printing through the
Wireless LAN:
• Raw TCP Printing from Windows computers
• LPR Printing from Windows computers
• LPR Printing from Macintosh computers
• LPR Printing from Unix workstation
SUPPLEMENT: The instructions on how set up the client computers for WiFi printing is same as the
instructions for wired network printing. For instructions on how to set up the client com-
puters, please see Printing Guide.
NOTES: • To access the equipment through the Wireless LAN from the client computers, the
client computers must have the Wireless LAN Module.
• When you enable the wireless network, the existing NIC will be disabled. This
equipment cannot connect the wired network and wireless network at the same
time.
Planning for Installation
Before setting up the Wireless LAN Module for your wireless LAN network, read
through this section to understand the information that you require to set up the equip-
ment in your wireless LAN network.
1. Determine the Network Type
This Wireless LAN Module supports Infrastructure mode and Ad Hoc mode.
Infrastructure Mode
In the Infrastructure Mode, client computers can access to the equipment through a
wireless network via an Access Point. The Infrastructure Mode is suitable for the wire-
less network that many client computers are connected at the same time.
The Access Point will be required to establish the wireless network in the Infrastructure
Mode.
