The Front Panel
The PrintServer’s LEDs are located on the front panel.
Power
Green/Orange. If the

The LED flashes green when the PrintServer is booting up, a system self-test is running, or the
firmware is being upgraded. It lights up orange when there is an error.
Ethernet
Green/Orange. If the
Ethernet

is actively sending or receiving data from the wired network. It flashes orange when there are
collisions detected on the Ethernet port.
Wireless

LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the PrintServer is
successfully connected to the wireless network. If the LED is flashing, the PrintServer is
actively sending or receiving data from the wireless network.

Chapter 3: Connecting the PrintServer
Overview
Before starting the physical installation, note the PrintServer’s default name, which starts with “LK” (for example,
LK71107). The default name is shown in the
Server
field on the PrintServer’s sticker, which is located on the
PrintServer’s back panel. During the PrintServer driver installation, this name is used to identify the PrintServer
you are currently installing.
Connecting the PrintServer to Your Network
1.
Use the USB cable to connect your USB printer to the PrintServer’s USB Printer port. Plug the Type A
connector end into the PrintServer and the Type B connector end into the printer.
2.
If you are connecting the PrintServer to your wired network, then plug one end of the Ethernet network cable
into the PrintServer’s Ethernet port.
Then connect the other end of the cable to your router or switch. The distance between the PrintServer and
the other device should not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
3.
Power on your printer.
4.
Plug the power adapter into the PrintServer’s Power port.
Then plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
Proceed to the next section, “Placement Options.”
Figure 3-1: Connect to the Ethernet Port
NOTE:
The PrintServer does not have an on/off power switch.
Whenever its power adapter is
plugged into a power supply, the PrintServer is powered on. The PrintServer can be powered on
before, during, or after your network is powered on.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure you use the power adapter supplied with the PrintServer. Use of a different
power adapter could damage the PrintServer.

Placement Options
Wireless-G PrintServer
Placement Options
There are different ways to place the PrintServer. The first way is to place the PrintServer horizontally on a
surface, so it sits on four small rubber pads. You can also use the included velcro to mount the PrintServer on a
wall or underneath a shelf. To use the velcro, follow these instructions:
1.
Separate the included velcro into its two sides, the hook side and the loop side. You will use the tape on the
backs of the velcro sides to attach them to the PrintServer and surface you want to use.
2.
For the first velcro side, peel off the cover protecting the tape, and attach it to the recessed area on the back
panel of the PrintServer.
3.
For the other velcro side, peel off the cover, and attach it to the location you have chosen for the PrintServer.
4.
Attach the velcro sides to each other, and make sure the PrintServer is securely mounted on the wall or
underneath the shelf.
5.
Adjust the position of the antenna so that it is positioned as high as possible. Usually, the higher you place the
antenna, the better the performance and range will be.
The physical installation of the Wireless-G PrintServer is complete. Proceed to “Chapter 4: Configuring
the PrintServer Using the Setup Wizard.”

Chapter 4: Configuring the PrintServer Using the Setup Wizard
Installation
To install the PrintServer, you will use the Setup CD-ROM to run the Setup Wizard. It is highly recommended that
you use a computer on the wired network to set up the PrintServer. However, if you only have a wireless network,
then you can use a computer on the wireless network to set up the PrintServer.
1.
Insert the Setup CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. The Setup Wizard should run automatically. If it
does not, click the
Start
button and choose
Run
. In the box that appears, enter
D:\setupWizard.exe
(if “D”
is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
2.
When you see the
Welcome
screen, click
Setup Wizard
to continue. Click
Exit
to end the installation. Click
User Guide
button to view the User Guide.
3.
After the Setup Wizard has found the PrintServer, the
Wireless-G PrintServer Setup
screen will appear. If this
is the first time you have run the Setup Wizard, make sure that
List only new (unconfigured) Print Servers
is selected and your PrintServer is listed by its default server name. Next to the PrintServer’s Server Name is
its IP Address. Note the IP Address so you can use it to access the PrintServer’s web-based utility, as
described in “Chapter 6: Configuring the PrintServer Using the Web-based Utility.”
If you have previously configured the Print Server, select
List all compatible Print Servers
. Click
Next
to
