Chapter 6: Configuring the PrintServer Using the Web-based Utility
The Protocol Tab - TCP/IP
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0
The Protocol Tab - TCP/IP
Click the TCP/IP tab to view or change the TCP/IP values of the PrintServer. (See Figure 6-3.)
IP Address
. If your network router is using DHCP to assign IP addresses, select
Obtain an IP Address
Automatically
. By default,
Obtain an IP Address Automatically
is enabled. If you need to assign the
PrintServer a fixed IP address (also known as static IP address), select
Use the Following IP Address
, and enter
the appropriate values under IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Make sure the IP Address and Subnet Mask
are appropriate for your network. If you change the PrintServer’s IP address, make sure you that you reconnect to
the PrintServer using that new IP address. Otherwise, you will not be communicating with the PrintServer. In
most cases, the Gateway IP address is the IP address of your router, and you should complete the
Gateway
field
if you will use the PrintServer for Internet printing. (To find out your router’s IP address, consult your router’s
documentation.)
Connection
. You can set how long you want the PrintServer to wait between connection attempts. You can also
specify the number of times that the PrintServer will attempt to connect to the network. Enter your chosen values
in the fields provided.
Click the
Save
button to apply your changes, or click

The Protocol Tab - AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a network communications protocol that allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet.
Typically only Macintoshes use AppleTalk, although other platforms can use it if they have the necessary, third-
party software. (See Figure 6-4.)
Communication
. Port 1 is the parallel port, while Port 2 is the USB port.The PrintServer’s two ports have the
same settings to configure for AppleTalk.
The Printer Object Type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer. Enter the type of printer in the field
provided. For each printer connected to the PrintServer, you will choose the Communications Protocol that allows
the devices on the network to communicate. Select the type of Communication Protocol you will use,
ASCII
or
Binary
for each printer, according to the recommendation of the printer’s manufacturer. For more information,
refer to the printer’s documentation.

NetBEUI connection settings of the PrintServer
are available on this tab. (See Figure 6-5.)
Domain Name
. Enter the name of the domain that you want the PrintServer associated with in the
Domain Name
field.
If you are unsure of the Domain Name, you can find it out by looking on any computer already on the network.
In
Windows 98, right-click
Network Neighborhood
and select
Properties
. Under the Identification tab, there will be
listed that computer’s name, and the Domain to which it is connected. For Windows Me, 2000, or XP, right-click
My
Network Places
. In Windows Me, choose
Properties
from the menu that appears. In Windows 2000 or XP, choose
Properties
from the menu that appears. Then, right-click
Local Area Connection
and choose
Properties
. The
Domain name will appear. If you want the PrintServer to be connected to that same Domain, enter that Domain
name here.
If no Domain name exists there, you will use the Workgroup name from that window.
Options
. You can specify the Response Time that you prefer for the PrintServer. This is the amount of time
(measured in seconds) that the PrintServer will wait for a response from the network before “timing out.”
You also have the option to use this feature, 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 might not
print properly.

The Protocol Tab - SNMP
Use the screen shown in Figure 6-6 to view or change the PrintServer’s SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) settings.
The PrintServer supports SNMP, which allows network administrators to monitor and control the PrintServer
through the use of network management platforms, such as HP OpenView.
The appropriate MIB file must be imported into your SNMP management program using the Import-Compile
command. Check your program’s documentation for details on this procedure. The MIB file is named Mib2p.mib
and is provided in the MiB folder on the Setup CD-ROM.

The Wireless Tab - Security
Configure or alter the PrintServer’s wireless security settings on this screen.
Wireless Security
•
WEP Encryption
. If you want to enable WEP encryption for greater wireless security, select the level of WEP
encryption,
64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
or
128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars)
from the drop-down menu. If you
want to disable WEP encryption, keep the default,
None
.
•
Security Mode
. From the drop-down menu, select your wireless network’s authentication type. The default
is set to
Open System
, for which the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. You
can also choose
Shared Key
, when the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. If the
PrintServer is set to the third setting,
Auto
, then the PrintServer will automatically use Open System or
Shared Key authentication, depending on the authentication being used by your wireless network. The
Security Mode setting should match the one on your network’s access point or wireless router.
•
Default Transmit Key
. Select the Default Transmit Key used by your wireless network. This indicates which
WEP key your network uses for WEP encryption.
•
Passphrase
. Enter a Passphrase in the field provided. If you use a Passphrase, WEP Keys 1-4 will be
automatically generated after you click the
Generate Keys
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.)
•
Key 1 to Key 4
. If you want to enter the WEP keys manually, then leave the
Passphrase
field blank and enter
the WEP keys in the fields provided. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of
exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of
exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
