interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

3.3.1 Network Ports Quick Setup
Network Ports Quick Setup Utility offers a very simple method to add or remove print server’s printer port from
the client’s computer.
During the client’s installation procedure, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the
network, and add them into the printer ports of the client’s computer. (See below)
If you have just installed another new print server in the network, you must run this program first. This
program will search for new print servers and allow you to add the new network printer port into the client’s
computer. Perform that standard Add Printer procedure, and you can print directly to the printer through the
newly installed print server.
Please be aware that Network Ports Quick Setup Utility can only detect and configure all print servers on
other subnets across network segments. You must use Remote Ports Utility as described in the next section
to manage remote (across network segments) print server.
