Connecting a Printer to the Wireless PrintServer
1. Connect
your
printer
to
the
Wireless
PrintServer’s
Printer
(LPT) port with your printer cable.
Some printers, especially bi-direc-
tional models, may require special
shielded cabling. Consult your
printer’s user guide for cabling
specifications.
2. Turn on your printer.
3. Attach the antenna to the Wireless PrintServer antenna port.
Orient the
antenna so that it is pointing straight up (at a 90-degree angle).
Connecting the Power
1.
Plug the AC power adapter cord into the Wireless
PrintServer’s Power port.
2.
Plug the AC power adapter into the electrical outlet.
3. The LAN and WLAN LEDs will light up indicating that the Wireless
PrintServer is on.
The Wireless PrintServer’s hardware installation is now complete, and
you are now ready to install the Wireless PrintServer’s software.
Using the PrintServer’s Wireless Capabilities
1.
After configuring the Wireless PrintServer, unplug the UTP Category 5 (or
better) Ethernet cable from the Wireless PrintServer’s LAN Port.
2.
Unplug the UTP Category 5 (or better) Ethernet cable from the networked
hub or switch.

Chapter 3: Hardware
Installation
Before starting the physical installation, be sure to find the Wireless
PrintServer’s Default Name first. The information for the Default Name may
be hard to access after the Wireless PrintServer is completely installed in your
network and surrounded by wires and computers.
On the bottom of the Wireless PrintServer, there is a white bar code sticker with
an SC number printed on it (example: SCA71107). This number is the
PrintServer’s
Server Name
, which you’ll use in the Wireless PrintServer driver
installation. Since it is written in hexadecimal form, the SC number may
include letters as well as numbers.
You can also use bi-admin software to find
the SC number. For more information, see Chapter 5: Bi-Admin: PrintServer
Management.
The Wireless PrintServer does not
have an ON/OFF power switch.
Whenever
its power adapter is plugged into a power supply, the Wireless PrintServer is
powered on. The Wireless PrintServer can be powered on before, during, or
after your network.
Connecting the Wireless PrintServer to Your Network
1.
Plug one end of a UTP Category 5 (or better)
Ethernet cable into the Wireless PrintServer’s
LAN port.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable into a net-
worked hub or switch.

Chapter 4: Windows Driver
Setup
This section installs the Wireless PrintServer’s software on your Windows 95,
98, Millennium, NT,
2000 or XP computers to give them Wireless PrintServer
printing abilities.
The Wireless PrintServer is fully compatible with Windows
95, 98, Millennium, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP environments.
At this point, you must have:
•
the Wireless PrintServer hardware installed on your network. If not, see
Chapter 3: Hardware Installation.
•
TCP/IP installed on each of your computers.
•
an IP address assigned to each of the computers on your network. If not, see
Chapter 9: DHCP Support for the Wireless PrintServer.
•
an IP address assigned to the PrintServer. By default the PrintServer has
DHCP enabled. If you need to assign an IP address, go to Chapter 5: Bi-
Admin: PrintServer Management.
This setup should be completed on the network administrator’s computer
before all other users’ computers on the network.
The Wireless PrintServer’s IP
address will be assigned in this first installation on the network administrator’s
computer only; this takes three extra steps.
It is assumed that your CD-ROM drive’s letter name is designated as D.
If your
CD drive is named another letter, replace all instances of D with the appropri-
ate letter.
If you need to install the Wireless PrintServer’s driver on computers without a
CD-ROM drive, you can create a setup disk by using a computer with a CD-
ROM drive to copy the contents of D:\Driver\Win9xNT onto a floppy disk.
