1. Connect the LAN cable to the Print Server. If both
10BaseT and 10Base2 connections are fitted, use only
ONE (1) connection.
2. Connect the Printer(s).
3. Connect the Power Adapter Cable.
4. Power ON, and check the Error LED. It should flash, then
turn off. If it stays on, there is a hardware error.
Setup - Overview
The following sections describe how to make the Print Server
operational in various environments.
The fastest and simplest method of installation is to use
Windows Peer-to-Peer printing. This method can be used even
if there is an existing Network Server (NetWare, Unix or
Windows) on your LAN.
If your situation is not included, or this information is
insufficient, please refer to the full User Manual in the Manual
folder on the CD-ROM.

Windows Peer-to-Peer
Peer-to-Peer printing means that each PC prints directly to the
Print Server's printer. This printing method can be used even if
your LAN does have a Server running NetWare, Unix, or
Windows NT Server.
The Print Server supports both the NetBEUI and TCP/IP
protocols; both may be used simultaneously.
• For NetBEUI, no Print Server configuration is required.
• If TCP/IP is used, the Print Server must be allocated an IP
Address, as follows:
Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server
1. Run the SETUP program in the root directory of the CD-
ROM. Select Utilities, and install Windows Peer-to-peerPrinting.
2. At the Select Protocol window, select the TCP/IP protocol.
3. At the Select Components screen, install ONLY the
SETBOX utility. Do NOT install the Device Driver until
the Print Server is configured.
4. Run the SETBOX program.
5. Enter the Default Name for the Print Server. The Default
Server Name is shown on a sticker on the base of the
device, and consists of 8 letters and/or digits.
6. Enter and save the following IP Addresses.
•IP Address - use any free value from the IP Address
range used on your LAN.
•The Gateway Address and Subnet Mask must be the
same as the PCs on your LAN.
Note: When installing on other PCs, do NOT install SETBOX.

Note: Because Print Server is set as DHCP client as default., It
is not necessary to assign an IP address to Print Server if there
is DHCP server in this LAN.
Window 95/98/NT Installation
The Print Server Driver must be installed on each PC, as
follows:
1. Run the SETUP program in the root directory of the CD-
ROM. Select Utilities, and install Windows Peer-to-peerPrinting.
2. Select the appropriate protocol (NetBEUI or TCP/IP) for
your LAN.
•If TCP/IP is selected, select Device Driver on the
Select Components screen.
3. The Configure Print Server window will appear. An
example screen is shown below.

4. Click Browse, and select the Print Server from the list.
5. Ensure that the port displayed in Select Device Port is
correct.
6. The other fields are optional. Change them if you wish,
then click OK.
7. You will be prompted “Do you wish to use this port for
your default printer?”.
•If your existing default printer is the correct type,
click “Yes”. The printer is then ready for use.
•Otherwise, click “No”, and follow the procedure
below to create a Windows printer to use the new port.
Windows Printer Installation
1. Go to Start-Settings-Printers. Run the Add Printer Wizard.
2. For Windows 95/98, select the Local printer option. For
Windows NT, when prompted for which computer will
manage the printer, select My computer.
3. Choose the Printer model which is attached to the first port
on the Print Server.
4. In the Available Ports screen (Windows 95/98) or Select
Port screen (NT 4.0), select the PrintServer port as the
port to use. In Windows NT, ensure that ONLY this port is
checked.
