DHCP Server
Chapter 2 Network Access to the Server 39
DHCP Server
DHCP server settings are configured on the Network > DHCP screen of the
Administration Tool. To configure the SnapServer as a DHCP server, it must have a
static IP address. The DHCP server automatically uses the subnet of the IP address
you set up.
Ensure that the network has no other active DHCP servers. You may negatively
impact the network if you enable the SnapServer as a DHCP server while another
server on the network is performing this function.
When you enable the SnapServer as a DHCP server, it reports in-use IP addresses at
the bottom of the screen under Current DHCP Status.
Print Server
The SnapServer can be configured to emulate a Windows print server for locally-
attached USB printers. Client machines connect to the SnapServer over the network
and use the printer similarly to using a printer shared by a Windows or CUPS
server. You can pause or resume the printer, and monitor or cancel print jobs using
the Administration Tool.
Configuring your SnapServer as a print server is a two part process:
• Configure the printer on the SnapServer.
• Configure the client to print via the SnapServer.
Configuring the Printer on the SnapServer
1 Connect the printer to one of the USB ports on the SnapServer.
2 Power on the printer.
3 In the SnapServer’s Administration Tool, navigate to Server > Printing. A list of
currently defined USB printers is displayed. To add the new printer, click
Add
Local Printer
.
4 The SnapServer will detect the new printer and it should appear as an option in
the
Local Printer Device dropdown list. Select that printer.
5 Give the printer a name, and complete Desciption and Location information as
desired. Click
OK. The printer will appear in the list on the main printing page.
