LAN Installation
This chapter describes how to install the Print Server in your Local
Area Network.
Procedure
1. Preparation
a) Ensure the power is OFF. Do not connect the Print Server while power is On.
b) The supplied PCMCIA wireless card must be inserted into the PCMCIA slot on the rear.
With the LEDs on the PCMCIA card facing UP, slide the card into the PCMCIA slot until
it encounters some resistance. Push firmly and it will click into position.
c) Find the Default Server Name for your Print Server.
• The Default Server Name is shown on a sticker on the base of the device. It consists of
8 letters and/or digits.
• Record this name; it will be needed during configuration.
During configuration you will be able to change the device name.
The new name MUST NOT contain any spaces or blanks
2. Connect the Printer or Printers
• Connect the printer or plotter cable(s) to the appropriate port(s) on the Print Server unit.
Parallel port cables should be less than 3 meters long.
3. Connect the Network Cable
• Connect a standard network cable from the LAN connector on the Print Serve to standard
to a 10BaseT or 100Base Hub or Switch.
On the PS7100, this will disable the Wireless interface, because the
default "Infrastructure mode" wireless setting can NOT be used with
the LAN interface. To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, the
Wireless mode must be set to "Ad-hoc".
After configuration, the LAN interface can be disconnected if not
required.
4. Power Up and Check the LEDs
• Plug in the power adapter cable and power up. Start-up will take only a few seconds.
• Check the Power and Status LED indicators of the unit. When the Red Error LED goes out
and the Green Status LED remains lit or flashes, the Print Server is ready.
Use only the Power Supply unit provided with the device. Power
Supply units for different models are not interchangeable.
