Using the USB port

Your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is equipped with a USB port that can be used, for exam-

ple, to connect a printer for use as a network printer or a USB mass storage device for

use as a file server. This chapter describes which settings you have to define on your

computer to use these functions.

Installing the printer port for network printers

The Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system is a prerequisite

for connecting a printer under Windows.

Introduction

A network printer is a printer on which you can print your documents without it being

connected to your PC, for example to LPT1, the parallel interface. The advantage of this

is that you only need this printer once in your network. All PCs for which it is released

can access it and work with it.

In most cases, a printer of this type is connected to another PC in the network. While this

offers the advantage referred to above, it has serious disadvantages:

u

The printer can only be used by others if the PC to which it is connected is switched

on.

u

The print job you send to the PC to which the printer is connected reduces the per-

formance (resources) of this PC.

If you use the USB port on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl for your printer, you have all the

advantages of a network printer without the disadvantages referred to above:

u

The network, and consequently also the printer, is always ready (the Gigaset SX763

WLAN dsl and the printer itself must be switched on, of course).

u

As it is connected to the USB printer port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, it does

not detract from the performance of any other PC in the network.

To facilitate this option you must first set up a

printer port

on each PC that is to use the

network printer. A printer port is an interface on the PC that forwards the print job to an

IP address within the network.

Once you have set up this port you must install the printer driver.

Note:

For multi-function devices (combination of printer, copier or fax) only the printer

functionality is supported.

Note:

Before starting to set up the printer please make sure that a printer is connected to the

USB port of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and that the printer has been identified. You

can check this in the user interface via

Advanced Settings

–

USB

–

Print Server.

Using the USB port

Installing a standard TCP/IP printer port under Windows Vista

You can use the standard TCP/IP port driver available with this operating system. Make

sure that the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is connected and is available in the network. A

printer does not have to be connected to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl

at this point.
