, and then enter a Passphrase. If you

use a Passphrase, a WEP key will be automatically generated after you click the Next button. The Passphrase

is case-sensitive and should have 16 alphanumeric characters or fewer. It must match the passphrase of your

wireless network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (You will have to enter the WEP

key(s) manually on any non-Linksys wireless products.)

If you want to enter the WEP key manually, then leave the

Passphrase

field blank; you will be able to enter a

WEP key on the following screen. If you want to disable WEP encryption, keep the default,

Chapter 5: Windows Driver Installation

Overview

Wireless-G PrintServer

Chapter 5: Windows Driver Installation

Overview

This section installs the PrintServer’s software on your Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP computers so they can use

the PrintServer for print jobs. (The PrintServer is fully compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP.)

At this point, you must have the following:

•

the PrintServer hardware installed on your network. If not, see “Chapter 3: Connecting the PrintServer.”

•

TCP/IP installed on each of your computers.

•

an IP address assigned to each of the computers on your network.

•

an IP address assigned to the PrintServer by you or your network router. By default the PrintServer has DHCP

enabled so the network router will automatically assign an IP address. If you need to manually assign an IP

address, run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM or go to “Chapter 7: Bi-Admin Management.”

It is assumed that your CD-ROM drive’s letter name is designated as “D”.

If your CD-ROM drive is named another

letter, replace all instances of “D” with the appropriate letter.

If you need to install the 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\PTP onto a floppy disk.

Installation

1.

Make sure you have no programs or applications running on your computer.

2.

If you haven’t already done so, insert the Setup CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. The Setup CD-

ROM should run automatically. If it does not, click the

Start

button and choose

Run

. In the field that appears,

enter

D:\setupWizard.exe

(if “D” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).

3.

When you see the

Welcome

screen, click

User Install

to continue. Click

Exit

to end the installation.
