Chapter 3

Wireless Print Server

Configuration

This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.

Overview

The Wireless Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the configuration required would depend upon the environment in which it is installed.

• The Wireless Print Server usually requires configuration, but if there's a DHCP server on your network, then the device is just plug-and-play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is also provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.

• PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the Wireless Print Server always require configuration. See Chapter 4- Client Configuration for details.

• If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT Server/Windows 2000/Windows XP, the Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B -

Windows Server Configuration. However, it is not necessary to use a Network Serverbased queue; client PCs can print directly to the Wireless Print Server using the Peer-to- peer Printing installed by the User setup option on the CD-ROM.

Configuration Methods

The following methods are available to perform the required Print Server configuration:

• Windows-based Wizard - see below for details.

• BiAdmin management utility program - see Chapter 5 for details.

• Web-based setup - see Chapter 6 for details.

Advanced Configuration and Management

The BiAdmin management utility is provided for advanced configuration and management. This program is installed by default when the Administrator install option is chosen. See Chapter 5 for details on using BiAdmin.

Using the Windows Wizard

The Windows-based Wizard is supplied on the CD-ROM, and runs on Windows 95, 98, NT4.0, ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Using this Wizard is the recommended method to configure the Print Server.

It can be used configure the Wireless Print Server for your Network environment, even if the Print Server does not have a valid IP address.

Procedure

1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start automatically, run SETUP.exe in the root folder.

2. On the first screen, shown below, click Setup Wizard.

Page 8

Figure 1: Wireless Print Server Screen

3. Click Next on the first screen of the Wizard, to view a list of Wireless Print Servers on your LAN.

4. Select your new Wireless Print Server, then click Next to continue.

5. Enter the required data on the following screen.

• Name of the Print Server can be changed if you wish.

• Comment is optional.

• Select or enter the Workgroup name for this Wireless Print Server.

6. Click Next to configure the TCP/IP Screen:

• Select Obtain IP Address automatically if your LAN has a DHCP Server, otherwise

select Fixed IP Address.

• For Fixed IP Address, enter an unused address from the range used on your LAN, or

click the Suggest New Values Button. Use the same Network Mask and Gateway as PCs on your LAN.

7. On the Wireless Screens, the settings should be set to match your other Wireless Stations. For details about each setting, refer to the following section Wireless Configuration.

8. Click Finish to save the data to the Wireless Print Server.

Note: To install the Wizard on your PC, use the "Installation" option.

If the desired Wireless Print Server is not listed:

• Check all cables to the Wireless Print Server.

• Check the Wireless Print Server's LEDs:

• The Error LED should be OFF and the ACT LED should be ON or flashing.

• The LAN LED should be ON.

• Check that your PC and the Wireless Print Server are on the same LAN segment. (If you

don't have a Router or Gateway on your LAN, you only have 1 segment.)

• Check that your PC has either the TCP/IP or NetBEUI network protocols installed. See Checking your Network Protocols on page 12 for details.

Page 9

Wireless Configuration

Wireless Mode

The Wireless Print Server is a Wireless station, NOT an access point. Like other Wireless stations, they have 3 modes:

• 802.11 Ad Hoc mode - no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate directly with each other. This is the current standard.

• Ad Hoc mode - no Access Point is used, Wireless stations communicate directly with each other. This is the older standard, and requires that each Wireless station is set to use the same Channel. (In 802.11 Ad-hoc mode, a Wireless station will scan all channels to find compatible ad-hoc groups it can join.)

Of the two (2) Ad-hoc modes, "802.11 Ad Hoc" mode is recommended. If your Wireless LAN Card doesn't provide "802.11 Ad Hoc" mode, try "Ad Hoc" mode on the PC and "802.11 Ad Hoc" on the Wireless Print Server. If this fails, select "Ad-hoc" mode on the Wireless Print Server.

• Infrastructure (Default) - all Wireless stations connect to the Access Point. This allows connection to both other Wireless stations and the wired LAN.

To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, the Wireless mode must be set to "Ad-hoc". In "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN cable will disable the Wireless interface.

Required Configuration

Ad-hoc Mode

802.11 Ad-hoc Mode

SSID

Channel

If 802.11 Ad Hoc mode is configured, the Wireless Print Server will join any group with the same SSID.

If there's no Ad Hoc group available on the environment, the Wireless Print Server will create the group by the SSID number value it configured.

In Ad Hoc mode, the Wireless Print Server will join any group with the same Channel number.

In 802.11 Ad Hoc mode, the Print Server will scan all Channels to look for compatible groups it can join. If there is no existing Hoc group available, the Wireless Print Server will create the group using its own Channel number.

Infrastructure Mode

Must match the Access Point.

Access Point sets the Channel used.

Wireless stations automatically locate the correct channel.

WEP Settings

Must match the other Wireless stations. Must match the Access Point.

Chapter 4

Client PC Configuration

The chapter details the client configuration required on LAN clients to use the printer or printers attached to the Wireless Print Server.

Overview

Before performing client configuration, the Wireless Print Server must be installed on your LAN, and configured as described in Chapter 3. Both the Wireless Print Server and the attached printer must be powered ON.

Printing Methods

The Wireless Print Server supports a number of printing methods:

• Peer-to-peer Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and sent directly to the Wireless Print Server when it is available.

• Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network Server (e.g. Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the Wireless Print Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue. For example, an important job can be moved to the head of the queue.

• Windows SMB printing is a Microsoft standard for using a "Network Printer". No additional software needs to be installed on your Windows PC, and printing from MSDOS programs is supported. However, because the Wireless Print Server can not store files, large print jobs may cause problems.

• AppleTalk is also supported, and normally no configuration of the Wireless Print Server is required. See the Macintosh section of this chapter for details of client configuration.

Which printing method should I use?

• If using Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, or XP, the easiest method to use is Peer-to-peer Printing.

• If using Windows, and you need to print from MS-DOS programs, or you don't wish to install additional software, use SMB. However, SMB is not suitable for large, complex documents, so if you need this as well as MS-DOS printing, you should install BOTH Peer-to-peer Printing and SMB printing. MSDOS programs can use the SMB printer, Windows programs should use Peer-to-peer Printing.

• If your LAN has Network Servers (e.g. Windows NT, Windows 2000 Server) use the method advised by your Network Administrator. The Wireless Print Server can print via a queue located on a Network server, if desired.

• Unix users - refer to the Appendix C.

• Macintosh users - refer to the Macintosh section of this chapter.

Page 11

Checking your Network Protocols (Windows 9x)

Your PC must have EITHER the TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed. (All versions of Windows after Windows 95 have TCP/IP installed by default.)

• If using the Peer-to-peer Printing, the installation program will check this for you.

• If using other methods, you must check manually, as follows:

1. Select the Settings - Control Panel - Network option on the Start Menu. You should see a screen like the one following:

Figure 2: Network Configuration

• The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the

NetBEUI protocol is installed on this PC. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".

• The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP is

installed. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".

2. If neither line is present:

• Install the NetBEUI protocol by selecting Add - Protocol - Microsoft - NetBEUI - OK.

You may be prompted for your Windows CD-ROM.

• If required, you can also install TCP/IP. However, depending on your LAN

environment, TCP/IP may require further configuration.

3. If either protocol is already installed, proceed with installation.

Page 12

Windows Peer-to-peer Printing

With this printing method, print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and then sent to the Wireless Print Server when it is available.

Figure 3: Peer-to-Peer Printing

Windows 2000 & XP require no additional software.

For other versions of Windows, the supplied PTP (Peer-to-Peer) Printer Port software must be installed on each PC.
