SMC's EZ Connect™ Wireless Print Server offers a versatile way to connect to your printer The SMCWPS-G connects to your printer via its USB port. With a built-in Ethernet port and 54Mbps 802.11g wireless client on board, SMC's new Wireless Print Servers allow access to a printer through a regular wired Ethernet LAN connection or by 802.11g Wireless LAN connec­tion. As a wireless enabled print server, it supports both Ad-Hoc mode (point-to-point wireless networks) and Infrastructure mode (using your existing Wireless access point). In Infrastructure mode, both Wired LAN and Wireless LAN users can share the printer connected to the wireless-ready print server. In Ad-Hoc mode, users may connect to the printer via wireless connection to print quickly and efficiently.
The SMCWPS-G Wireless Print Server is the ideal network print­ing solution for all consumers, home offices, classrooms or other businesses that require printer sharing. Configuration is a breeze with easy to use web-based interface and a variety of remote management utilities. Compared to attaching a printer to your PC, this print server gives you more flexibility in placing the printer and better performance. Compatible with virtually all
USB printers and major networking operating systems, your print jobs will zip through with superior speed and dependabili­ty. SMC's Wireless Print Servers provide versatile OS support, including Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Macintosh, Unix and Linux.
The EZ Connect™ Wireless Print Server supports TCP/IP, SMB (Service Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and NetBEUI. A number of utility programs are provided to simplify installation and setup. In addition, the print server can act as an IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Server, thus allowing clients, suppli­ers, colleagues and others to print to your printer from any­where on the Internet. Windows IPP Client software is included on the EZ Installation Wizard and Documentation CD. The print server also has a built-in Diagnostic button for a quick and easy operation test to ensure the device is functioning properly.
To ensure secure transmissions across your wireless network, this print server supports 64/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). It also connects to WPA or WPA2 secured wireless net­works. SMC Networks' wireless devices support this wireless security standard to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your network over a wireless a connection. If you are printing private information over the wireless network, it is recommend­ed to enable WEP for your Wireless Print Server. Please note that it must also be enabled on your Wireless Base Station. In addition, the EZ Connect™ 54Mbps Wireless Print Server offers an auto-fallback feature that provides scalable connectivity under noisy environments and enables a larger wireless operat­ing range.
