If you are using DHCP to assign IP addresses, select

DHCP

Client

. By default, DHCP is enabled. If you need to assign the Wireless

PrintServer a

Fixed IP Address

(also known as Static IP Address), select this

option, and enter the appropriate values under

Device IP Address

,

Subnet

Mask

, and

Gateway IP Address

. To find your Gateway’s IP address, consult

your Gateway’s documentation. The Device IP Address and Subnet Mask are

the same as those of any PC connected to the network.

If you change the

Wireless PrintServer’s IP address, make sure you that you reconnect to the

Wireless PrintServer using that new IP address.

Otherwise, you will not be

communicating with the Wireless PrintServer. The Gateway IP Address is not

necessary for using the PrintServer.

Under the

Connection

settings, you can set how long you want the Wireless

PrintServer to delay between attempting connections to the network.

You can

also specify the number of times that the Wireless PrintServer will attempt to

make a connection.

Enter your chosen values in the boxes provided.

If you want to reset the settings for this screen, you can click the

Retrieve

Chapter 7: Advanced Properties

The Advanced Properties section of the Web-based Utility is for users who have

a thorough understanding of networks and network settings.

Changing these

settings can cause interruption of network communication and make the

Wireless PrintServer cease to function properly.

To access the Advanced

Properties, click the

AppleTalk is a net-

work communications

protocol which allows

computers to talk to

each

other

using

Ethernet.

Typically

only Macintoshes use

AppleTalk, although

other platforms can be

made to use it with

extra software.

AppleTalk Zones (if

available) can be seen

in the Chooser, the AppleTalk Control Panel, and the Network Browser.

Once

you have determined the AppleTalk Zone that you want the Wireless

PrintServer to be associated with, enter its name in the box next to

AppleTalk

zone

.

The Printer Object type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer.

For each printer connected to the Wireless PrintServer, you will choose the

Communications Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communi-

cate.

Choose either

ASCII

or

Binary

for each printer, according to the rec-

ommendation of the printer’s manufacturer.

If you make any mistakes prior to saving, you can simply hit the

Internet Printing allows

you to automatically

print any e-mails that

are sent to a specific e-

mail account on your

network.

This is espe-

cially useful for print-

ing information when

you are not connected

to the network.

You can

print from anywhere

that you can access e-

mail.

The

Mail Server IP Address

is where you will enter the address of your mail

server.

(This value must be a fixed IP address.)

The

Account Name

and

Account Password

must be entered next. Enter the password again to

Verify

Password

. Then, enter the time interval for the Wireless PrintServer to check for

e-mail to be printed, in hours and minutes in the

Check Mail every:

box.

You

may even specify an e-mail address where mails that cannot be printed are rout-

ed, which is useful for both graphic-intensive e-mails and for troubleshooting

purposes. Enter this e-mail address in the

Redirect unprintable Mail to:

box.

Under the Printer settings, enter the

Printer Model

in the box provided.

You

can find this in the Device Manager. Then choose the

Click the SNMP tab

to view or change the SNMP settings of the Wireless

PrintServer.

The Wireless PrintServer supports SNMP (Simple Network Management

Protocol). This allows network supervisors to monitor and control the

Wireless PrintServer using network management platforms such as HP

OpenView, IBM SystemView, etc.

The appropriate MIB file must be imported into your SNMP management

program using the Import-Compile command. Check your management

program for details on this procedure. The MIB file is provided in the Mib

folder on the CD-ROM.

The name of the file is

Mib1p.mib

.

Enter the name of

the domain that you

want the Wireless

PrintServer associ-

ated with in the

Domain Name

box.

If you are unsure of

the Domain Name, you can find it out by looking on any computer already

on the network.

In Windows 95, 98 and NT, right-click

Network

Neighborhood

and select

Properties

.

Under the Identification tab, there

will be listed that computer’s name, and the Domain or Workgroup to which

it is connected. For Windows Millennium and 2000, right-click

My Network

Places

.

Then right-click

Local Area Connection

and choose

Properties

.

Then right-click

TCP/IP

and choose

Properties

.

The Domain name will

appear under Workgroup. For Windows XP, click

Start

and

Control Panel

.

Click

Performance and Maintenance

and then the

System

icon. Click the

Computer Name

tab and then the

Change

button. The screen will show the

Workgroup name. If you want the Wireless PrintServer to be connected to

that same Domain, enter that Domain name here (not applicable to Windows

XP).

If no Domain name exists there, you will use the Workgroup name

from that window.

Under Options, you can also specify the

Response Time

that you prefer for

the Wireless PrintServer.

This is the amount of time (measured in seconds)

that the Wireless PrintServer will wait for a response from the network

before “timing out”.

You also have the option to

Abort Print Job if Error

.

Selecting

Yes

here will

terminate the printing if there is an error of any kind.

If you select

No

, print

jobs that have errors will be sent to the printer, but may not print properly.

If you make any mistakes prior to saving, you can simply hit the

Cancel

but-

ton, which will let you exit the screen without making any changes.

Chapter 8: Internet Printing

Protocol (IPP)

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a new standards-based system to allow

remote printing from a PC to any accessible printer. Normally, the printer will

be attached to a computer or other device that functions as an IPP Server.

For

client PCs, it is necessary to install a compatible IPP Client program. The

Client must also know the IP Address or URL or IPP Server.

The Wireless PrintServer contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP

Server. No additional configuration is necessary. However, the following

requirements must be met:

· The Wireless PrintServer must have a valid IP Address. For printing via

the Internet, the Wireless PrintServer's IP Address must be external (allo-

cated by your ISP), rather than an IP Address on your local LAN.

· Any Router, Gateway or Firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must

NOT block the IPP protocol.

· You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP Address of the IPP

Server. To use a URL rather than an IP Address, you need to register the

domain name for the URL.

· Unless clients are using Windows 2000 or XP, you must provide your

clients with the supplied IPP Client software. If it is not convenient to pro-

vide the CD-ROM, supply the IPP CLIENT.EXE file, located in the IPP

folder.

IPP Client Software Installation for Windows 95/98/Millennium/NT

4.0/2000/XP

1. Click the Start button. Choose Run, and type D:\DRIVER\IPP\IPP

CLIENT.EXE in the drop-down box (where “D” is the letter of your CD-

ROM drive).

2. For the Welcome screen, click

installation.
