Introduction

Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Wireless Router or Access Point. Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Wireless Router or Access Point connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move further from your Wireless Router or Access Point, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between five and ten feet from the Wireless Router, in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR PLACEMENT AND SETUP Note:

While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

1. Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware

Place your Wireless Router or Access Point, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices.

To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless clients” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your Wireless Router or Access Point networking

antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Wireless Router or Access Point itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas a much as possible in an upward direction.

• In multistory homes, place the Wireless Router or Access Point on a floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the Router on an upper floor.

• Try not to place the Wireless Router or Access Point near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Wireless Router or Access Point near devices that may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit Wireless communication can include:

• Refrigerators

• Washers and/or dryers

• Metal cabinets

• Large aquariums

• Metallic-based UV tinted windows

If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path between your computers and Wireless Router or Access Point.

3. Avoid Cordless Phones

If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from Wireless Routers or Access Points and your wireless-enabled computers

• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operate on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturers information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.

• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the furthest channel from your wireless network, as possible. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Wireless Router to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.

Introduction

4. Choose the “quietest” channel for your wireless network

In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with yours. Use the Site Survey capabilities of your Wireless LAN Utility to locate any other wireless networks (see page 15 of this manual), and move your Wireless Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.

Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

For non-Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information included in your User Guide.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your Wireless Router. Should you need to cover an even wider area, please go to the networking product section on www.belkin. com/networking for more details on Belkin’s Wireless Range Extender/ Access Point.

Install Print Drivers

Be sure to install the necessary print drivers on each computer that will be accessing the Print Server.

Set Up Print Server

Plug your printer (power on) into the Print Server.

2. Power up the Print Server within wireless range of your 802.11g

or 802.11b wireless network.

3. Allow approximately one minute for the Print Server to boot.

4. Verify that the Status light is illuminated and that the error light is

not illuminated.

5. Determine the Print Server’s IP address, using one of the

following methods:

a) New Print Servers are configured to receive IP addresses

dynamically. If your network has a DHCP server, the Print Server will obtain an IP address from your network. If the DHCP server supports a client list, the client list will list the IP address assigned to the Print Server. If a DHCP server is not available, after 1.5 minutes the Print Server will revert to 192.168.2.253.

b) If the Print Server has been configured previously, then it will

have been set to a static IP address that could be different for every network.

Note: Restoring factory defaults on the Print Server by holding in the

reset button for 10 seconds while repowering the Print Server will restore the IP address to dynamic.

c) Run the program “PSF.exe” from the Installation CD. This will

find the IP address and link automatically to the web-based management interface.

d) Go to the last step of the Print Server Installation Wizard,

which has an Advanced button that finds the IP address and links automatically to the web-based management interface.

6. Verify that the computer is in the same subnet as the Print Server

(The first three octets of the IP addresses are the same).

7. Type the Print Server’s IP address into your Internet browser from

any computer. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.2.225,

Web Interface – Login Screen

Clicking on any menu item will cause a login prompt to appear. If a password has been set previously, enter it here. New Print Servers ship without passwords; if this is the case, click “Submit” to continue.

Web Interface – IP Address

This menu allows the user to set a Static IP address, or to set the Print Server to obtain an IP address automatically as a DHCP client. Although Belkin designs the Print Server to obtain an IP address automatically, running the Wizard will change the IP address to static. Static is the recommended method of operation, since the computer will be configured to print to a specific IP address which, if changed, would make the Print Server inoperable.

Note: When choosing an IP address manually, be sure to choose a unique

IP address in the same domain (first three sets of digits the same) as the gateway of your network.

Web Interface – Channel and SSID

This menu allows the user to program the wireless settings.

• “Enable Wireless Networking” is on by default. Connecting the Print Server via an Ethernet cable to the network will automatically disable wireless networking.

• “SSID” is the wireless name of your network. The default setting is “ANY”. This allows the Print Server to connect to the first wireless network it sees. Running the Wizard automatically changes “ANY” to the network SSID found during the setup procedure.

• “Network Type” refers to either an Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc network. Any network with a wireless router or access point is considered an Infrastructure network (default).

• “Channel” is only applicable for Ad-Hoc installations. In infrastructure networks, the wireless router or access point sets the channel automatically.

• To see wireless networks in your area and choose the one you wish to connect to, see “Web Interface – Site Survey” on the next page.

Securing your Wireless Network

Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office and small office user. At the time of this manual’s publication, there are two encryption methods available.

Features

Static Keys that make easy targets for hackers

Weak encryption keys based on RC4 algorithm (typically 40-bit keys)

More secure than 64-bit WEP using a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system generated data.

Encryption Methods

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi compliant wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network.

64-bit WEP

64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes a key of length 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode.

128-bit WEP

As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, a more secure method of 128-bit encryption was developed. 128-bit encryption includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 128-bit as 104-bit encryption.

Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Belkin Wireless products will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP.

Encryption Keys

After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption mode, it is critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is not consistent throughout all the wireless network your wireless networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another on your network you will not be able to successfully communicate within your network. There are two ways to generate an encryption key - manually

You can enter your key by typing in the HEX Key manually, or you can type in a Passphrase in the Passphrase field and click “Generate” to create a key. A HEX (Hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP you need to enter 10 HEX keys. For 128-bit WEP you need to enter 26 HEX keys.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP Key C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key

The WEP Passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your Print Server uses this Passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware manufacturers might have different methods on generating the keys. If you have multiple vendors’ equipments in your network, the easiest thing to do is to use the HEX WEP key from your Router or Access point and enter it manually into the HEX WEP key table in your card’s configuration screen.

Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have your network working, you need to activate WEP and make sure your wireless networking devices are sharing the same Network Key. See Figure 1.1.

IMPORTANT: Use the following encryption information only if your network is encrypted. If it is not, leave the encryption mode (“WEP Mode” in the dialog box illustrated below) set its default, “Disabled”.

This menu allows you to activate your Print Server’s encryption feature, which is determined by your existing LAN encryption setting.

To set encryption for your Print Server choose the matching setting in the dialog box above. The following briefly explains the various settings your software makes available:

• 64-bit manually: Selecting this setting will allow you to enter your 64-bit keys, if your wireless network uses 64-bit encryption (see dialog box on the next page).

• 64-bit automatically: Selecting this setting will allow you to enter a pass phrase to automatically generate encryption keys for your Print Server. (Caution: This choice can generate new keys that will not function with an existing network. If your network keys [in your router] are already set, use manually instead.)

• 128-bit manually: Selecting this setting will allow you to enter your 128-bit keys, if your existing wireless network is encrypted using 128-bit encryption.

• 128-bit automatically: Selecting this setting will allow you to enter a pass phrase and the Print Server will determine the keys automatically. (Warning: Choosing “automatically” will generate new keys that may not function with an existing network. If your network keys [in your router] are already set, use “manually” instead.)

Wizard Cannot find Print Server

If the Wizard cannot find your Print Server even though it appears to be functioning properly, the problem may be that there is another wireless network in the area and the Print Server has associated with it. In this case, you can:

• Try repowering the Print Server. This might allow it to connect to the correct wireless network.

—or—

• Connect the Print Server to the network (to the router) using an Ethernet cable. Other possible reasons that the Wizard might fail to find the Print Server are:

• security settings on the existing wireless network—such as Encryption;

• the wireless network not broadcasting an SSID; or

• MAC address filtering settings on the network. Encryption and SSID settings can be entered on the Print Server to overcome the first two problems; however, if the network is blocking new devices by MAC address, your router will need to be configured to allow the Print Server to associate (see your router’s documentation). Print job not going to correct printer, or not printing at all

• It could be that the computer is set to print to the wrong printer. Verify that the printer connected to the Print Server is set as the “default printer”.

• When troubleshooting a printing problem, try to determine whether any of the computers on the network can access the Print Server. If some computers can print, and some cannot, then the problem is most likely not the Print Server or the printer, but the printer driver settings on the specific computer. In this case, run the Print Server Setup Wizard again to reconfigure the computer. If this still doesn’t correct the problem, delete the printer driver from your computer. Reinstall it using the manufacturer’s CD that came with your printer (it should direct you to check the manufacturer’s website for updated drivers); then run the Setup Wizard again. In some cases, drivers from a printer manufacturer might support

“Subnet warning” error screen appears during setup

The subnet warning is generally associated with the existence of more than one network in the area. Subnet warnings occur when the Print Server has an IP address from one network domain, and the computer is on another network domain. The best solution in this case is to connect the Print Server to the network using an Ethernet cable and to configure it using the Setup Wizard. Then, after it has been configured into the correct subnet, disconnect the cable, and then reattempt the wireless setup using the Wizard.

If the Print Server has been configured before, and the IP address has already been set to another subnet, the best solution is to restore factory defaults on the Print Server. Do this by holding down the reset button while repowering the Print Server. After a reset, the Print Server will generally receive an IP address in the correct subnet.

“No printer” error screen appears during setup.

In most cases, this error occurs when the printer is not powered on, or it is not enabled (or online). After you have checked this, make sure that it is not out of paper or jammed. Some printers “sleep” after periods of inactivity. In any of these cases, restore the printer to functionality, then, if necessary, reboot the Print Server. Some USB printers are not compatible with Print Servers. To check the Belkin website for compatibility information, go to: http://web.belkin.com/support/F1UP0001.

Cannot print wirelessly / Cannot connect to Print Server wirelessly

If you cannot print wirelessly from your computer to your Print Server it is possible that your Print Server may have connected to another wireless network. Connect the Print Server directly to the network (router) that you would like to have the Print Server join using an Ethernet cable. Hold the test/reset button on the back of the Print Server for 8-9 seconds for the Print Server to reboot. Once the Print Server status is stable press the test/ reset button again for 1-2 seconds to print out the Print Server status sheet from your printer. Open an Internet web browser and in the Address bar type in the IP address of the Print Server found on the status sheet (the print out). Click on the “Channel and SSID” button from the left hand menu of the Print Server’s web home page. Click on the “Site Survey” button found to the right of the SSID box. Choose the SSID name of your wireless router that you have connected the Print Server to by checking the “Join” box and then clicking on “Apply Changes”. Your Print Server should now be connected to your network wirelessly and you can now remove the Ethernet cable. If your wireless network is encrypted please be sure to enter the encryption key into the Print Server before attempting to print wirelessly. (See page 23 of this manual for more information on encryption).

“Cannot communicate with printer” or “printer not found” error message appears in Printer Driver Status Monitor

Again, this may result from the printer being powered off or from any of the issues mentioned above. Check that the printer is online, and make sure that it is not out of paper or jammed. Some printers “sleep” after periods of inactivity. In any of these cases, restore the printer to functionality, then, if necessary, reboot the Print Server.

If those issues are addressed and the problem still exists, Belkin recommends that the user disable the Printer Driver Status Monitor on the computer. The status monitor, a convenient checkpoint for the user, usually requires a direct connection between the computer and the printer. It may not communicate with the printer when connected to a print server on a network.

Data transfer is sometimes slow

Wireless Technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move further from the Wireless Router or Access Point.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to ten feet from The Wireless Router (or Access Point). Please see the section titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance” on page 2 of this manual.

If issues persist even at close range, please contact please contact Belkin Technical Support.
