’s palm siz ed single-port Wireless USB Print Server allows any networked computer to wirelessly share a USB printer. It complies with USB 1.1 specifications and the 802.11b Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) standard. It supports data transmission rates of up to 11Mbps, and a wireless access range of up to 150ft indoors and 500ft outdoors.

This unit also supports multiple protocols and multiple operating systems. Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is integrated within this print server, enab ling users to print from any computer ov er a LAN/WAN or the Internet by specifying the device’s URL. The built-in web management f eature provides additional con venience b y allowing the user to configure, monitor , and e v en reset the print server via a web bro wser . This eliminates the need to place the printer right next to the computer. Print jobs can be sent to a printer in another country just as easily as to a printer in the same office, eliminating the need to send often-illegible fax images .

Product Overview

External print servers enhance capability by letting you place y our printers, plotters , or equality printers at convenient locations directly on the Ethernet network, and by increasing network printer performance and management.

Network Management

The print servers support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which remote printer management and a warning. A standard SNMP agent is permanent on these print servers. Any standard SNMP-based application can be used to access and manage these print servers.

Network configuration

The print servers provide an embedded web server that can be accessed via a web browser . We also include a Windows-based utility, PSAdmin, which helps y ou administer the print server environment. For example, Netware , Windo ws 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000/XP, Mac or Unix system.

Macintosh Installation

IOGEAR Wireless Print Server Installation in Mac OSX

1. Open the box the Wireless Print Server came in.

Follow the proper included instructions for hooking it up to your Printer.

2. After the print server has been plugged in, mov e

the switch on top of the Wireless Print Server to enable Ad Hoc mode. Flip the DIP switch to the right side, the side near to the power connector .

3. W ait a f e w moments, after enab ling Ad Hoc mode,

then select the Airport status icon on the right side of the menu bar .

you may need to reset your Wireless Print Server. You can do this by unplugging the unit, plugging it back in, and waiting a f ew moments. Repeat steps 2 through 4.

4. Select WLAN-PS from the drop-down list.

NOTE: If you see the f ollowing message ,

5. After y ou’v e selected WLAN-PS from the list, your Mac is now directly connected and communicating with the Wireless Print Server . Howev er , to access the Wireless Print Server’s configuration menu, you must connect to it via Safari or Internet Explorer.

The Wireless Print Server ships with a Static IP address of: 192.168.5.1

Static means that the address never changes unless otherwise changed by the end-user. Initially , you will need to access the configuration menu to change the IP address to suit your Network.

NOTE: Expert Users – It is strongly recommended that you DO NO T enab le DHCP on the Wireless Print Server. You must set an unused, static IP address that is not in use on your particular subnet.

Macintosh Installation

6. Since the IP address is 192.168.5.1, your network may not be on the same subnet as the Wireless Print Server. You will need to change your subnet temporarily to alter the configuration of the Wireless Print Server and tailor it to your setup .

7. Open System Preferences

Macintosh Installation

8. Once you’v e opened the System Pref erences, select Network

9. When y ou select Network, you will see the network Status of your Mac.

12. Once y ou select TCP/IP, there is a menu called Configure Ipv4: Select Manually

Macintosh Installation

10. Select Airport, and then click Configure.

11. After y ou’v e clic ked Configure , y ou will be presented with your Airport Network Settings. Select TCP/IP from the menu

13. After y ou select Manually, enter 192.168.5.2 for the IP Address and 255.255.255.0 f or the subnet mask, and then click Apply No w.

15. The Wireless Print Server’s web-interface will appear. Click on Setup.

Macintosh Installation

14. After y ou click Apply No w, simply open Saf ari (or Internet Explorer) and type in the following web address: 192.168.5.1

Macintosh Installation

16. Once y ou select Setup, you will now see the configuration menus as you scroll down.

17. The first section is for the Print Server Status. Device Name – Here you can name y our print

server. It must be a single name with no spaces. System Contact – You may lea ve this b lank.

This is for administrative purposes and generally holds the e-mail address of the network administrator .

System Location – You may leave this blank. This is for administrative purposes and generally holds the physical location (ex. Graphics_room) of the printer and print server .

Administrative Passwo rd – This is for security purposes. You can set a password for this menu so no one can access the setup and configuration menus of the Print Server without a password. It is strongly recommended that you write this password down since it will not be possible to retriev e if lost, and can permanently render your Wireless Print Server inoperable.

Macintosh Installation

18. This is the wireless section.

Basic Settings – Here you will configure the Mode, SSID, Channel, and Data Transmission rates of the Print Server.

Mode – Select Infrastructure SSID – In the pull down box, select your Wireless

Router from the list. Channel – This will def ault to what channel your

Wireless Router is set to. NOTE: The rest of this section should be left at its

default settings. Unless y ou are an e xperienced user with Wireless connectivity, we recommend skipping the remaining parts of the wireless section.

Macintosh Installation

19. The next section is for setting up y our Print Server in a Novell environment. These settings must be tailored to how your Nov ell network is setup. Unless you are using a Novell netw ork, this section may be skipped.

20. The next section is for setting up TCP/IP preferences. This section will require y ou to tailor the Print Server to what your network settings are.

Automatic – It is strongly recommended that you do not set the Print Server to use DHCP in a Mac environment, as you will not be ab le to access the Setup & Configuration menus in the future.

Manual – This is where you will tailor y our Print Server to the same settings as your network. You will need to ensure the IP address and Subnet Mask chosen is on the same subnet as your computer and router. The subnet is the same as the one on your Wireless Router .

Ex. If your computer network is DHCP (Dynamic IP Addressing) and uses an IP address pool of

192.168.1.x, then you will need to make the IP

address on the Print Server 192.168.1.254, or

192.168.1.253, etc. It will not matter what the last

series of numbers are (x.x.x.254) are as long as they are not conflicting with anything else already on your network. If y ou are unsure of y our network settings, check the manual that came with your Wireless router, or with your netw ork administrator.

Once you hav e changed this IP Address and tailored it to your network settings, you ma y continue.
