Quick Installation
This section takes you through a step-by-step minimum installation
and setup procedure for the internet/print multiple server. Please
refer to the main text of this manual for detailed information about
the setup and oper ation of this device.
Getting Started
Step 1: Unpack the device. Make certain no components have been
lost or damaged. A packing list is provided on page 7.
Step 2: Choose an installation site on a flat, level surface or wall
near the modem or ISDN/TA you plan to use for internet
connections or near the network line you plan to use for a
LAN connection, and near the printer you would like to share
through the server. Note that the internet/print multiple
server can be hung on a wall using the wall mounting
equipment included with the product.
Making Connections
Step 3: Connect the internet/print multiple server to your LAN
using a Category 3, 4 or 5, twisted-pair cable and the device’s
single RJ-45 LAN port. This connection should be made to
an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet switch or hub. (The RJ-45 port
looks like a phone jack.)
Step 4: Connect the internet/print multiple server to the printer
using the LPT port and a parallel cable. See Chapter 5 for
information on how to setup the print server variables and
see the IS Admin User’s Guide for information on shared
print services.
iv
Step 5: Connect the internet/print multiple server to a modem or
ISDN/TA using the device’s serial port (COM). (Note that
your modem or ISDN/TA should already be connected and
setup according to the instructions included with it.)
Step 6: Plug the power adapter into the device and into an outlet.
Configuring
Step 7: Before your can use your internet/print multiple server, IP
addresses on your LAN’s PCs must be set so that they are
compatible with the internet/print multiple server’s settings.
The internet/print multiple server comes with the default local IP address: 192.168.100.1 and the default subnet mask
setting: 255.255.255.0. Computer stations on your LAN that
will use the internet/print multiple server for internet access
must modify their IP settings to 192.168.100.xxx (where xxx
is a number between 2 and 255). All stations must also modify their subnet mask settings to match the internet/print
multiple server subnet mask setting, and set their default
gateway to the local IP address (in this case the default address listed above) used by the internet/print multiple server.
If you want to use a different IP address range, see “Setting
IP Addresses” on page 16.
Step 8: The internet/print multiple server can be configured and
operated via Telnet or a web browser once PC IP addresses
have been properly set. (Note that some device settings can
be manipulated using the IS Admin program included with
the device.) Start your Telnet or browser software and enter
the IP address of the internet/print multiple server (either
the default IP listed above or the new address you assigned
using IS Admin). This should bring up the internet/print
multiple server start menu. See the next series of steps for
information about variables that must be set for the device to
work properly.
v
Key Variables
Step 9: ISP Account -> Phone Number, when you signed-up for
an account with your ISP (internet service provider), you
should have been given an access phone number that your
modem will dial. Look under the “WAN Port Variables”
menu for this variable and enter the phone number provider
by your ISP.
Step 10: ISP Account -> User ID , your ISP should also have as-
signed a User ID (aka, a username) that you will use for
logging-in. Also under “WAN Port Variables,” enter this user
ID exactly as it was provided to you.
Step 11: ISP Account -> Password, finally, to complete the ISP
login process, the internet/print multiple server must provide
the password associated with the user ID assigned by your
ISP. Enter it.
You have now completed the basic steps necessary to install, configure, and begin using the internet/print multiple server. Note that,
with respect to steps 9–11, it may be necessary for you to use a
“Login Script” instead. If you enter the information required in those
three variables correctly and still have trouble logging-in, see the
“Login Script” section on page 23 to create a login script.

1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter introduces the internet/print multiple server, as well as
some of the tec hnology that underlies it.
Product Description
The internet/print multiple server is designed to provide a singlepoint access to the internet for multiple, networked PCs. One of the
primary features of the internet/print multiple server is that it pr ovides multi-user access to the internet through a single user account
and one connection. More simply put, an internet/print multiple
server takes a single internet connection that without it could only
be used by one person and allows it to be used by multiple stations on
the same network simultaneously.
The internet/print multiple server also supports local network print
server operations.
Product Features
The list below highlights the features and specifications of the internet/print multiple server.

Internet Server Technology
The concept behind internet/print multiple servers is to provide a
single, shared access point for multiple users. Without an internet/print multiple server, each end point (i.e., PC or workstation) on
a LAN must have it’s own public domain IP address.
Introduction 2
Using an internet/print multiple server allows a single public IP address to be shared by multiple local end points simultaneously.
Since the same range of local IP addresses can be used at as many
multiple locations as necessary, available IP addresses can increase.
Introduction 3
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide
4
Also, it is only necessary for a company to pay for a single internet
access account even though many people will be able to use it.
An internet/print multiple server can also be used to expand a LAN
by providing a means to create localized “sub-groups” in a LAN-toLAN configuration. The internet/print multiple server acts as a sin-
gle public IP address access point for the sub-group LAN. The subgroup LAN can then use local IP addresses from the available
Introduction
ranges. The effect of this is to expand the number of stations that
can use IP addresses assigned to the LAN.

Port Description
Rear Panel
Serial – WAN
The serial port is used for a WAN connection either to a modem or
an ISDN terminal adapter. The serial port is a standard male 9-pin
RS-232 connector.
Installation 9
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide
Parallel – Printer
The parallel port is used for connecting to a printer for sharing to the
LAN. This port is a standard female 25-pin parallel connector.
RJ-45 – LAN
The internet/print multiple server has a single, NWay RJ-45 LAN
port. This port is 10Mbps and 100Mbps capable (auto-detect, autoconfigure) and designed for use in an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN
via a network hub. The port has standard RJ-45 pinouts.
LED Description
The internet/print multiple server has a small LED array for indicating current port and transmission status. The power/transmit
(Pw/Tx) and connect/receive (Link/Rx) LEDs only relate to activity
on the LAN port. All other LED indicators display information about
their related ports as labeled.
Pw/Tx
The Pw/Tx (power/transmit) LED lights when power is supplied to
the device and flashes when the LAN port transmits data.
Link/Rx
The Link/Rx (link/receive) indicator will light up when a good connection is made at the LAN port with an operating and compatible
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device. This indicator flashes when the
LAN port receives data from the network.
Installation 10
COM
The COM port LED provides an indication of the operating status of
the WAN port. When the WAN port is transmitting data, the COM
port will light. If no data is being transmitted, the COM LED will be
off.
LPT
The LPT port LED lights to indicate when data is being sent to the
network printer it is connected to. If no data is being transmitted,
the LPT LED will be off.
Normal LED Flash Pattern
Immediately after power-up, all four of the LEDs should display
steady green for several seconds. Then the COM LED and LPT LED
should flash simultaneously three times. This sequence of flashes
should be followed by first the COM LED flashing once and then LPT
LED flashing once, repeated three times in succession. If as problem with the device is detected during this time, the LED flashes will
display an error pattern (see Appendix A: Troubleshooting for more
information on POST error indications). If no errors are detected,
the internet/print multiple server will begin operating normally.
Connecting to the Local Network
The internet/print multiple server includes one RJ-45 NWay LAN
port. To connect the device to your LAN, use a standard Category
3, 4, 5 UTP, or STP twisted-pair cable to link the device to an
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch.
Installation 11
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide
Cable length limits must conform to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
wiring rules. Ethernet cable segments can be a maximum of 100
meters. Fast Ethernet wiring rules also limit the maximum
length of cabling segments to 100 meters.
Once the internet/print multiple server is physically connected to
a local network and you have used the IS Admin software included to assign an IP address to the device (or simply
reconfigured your PC’s IP address, subnet mask and gateway to
match the default settings of the internet/print multiple server),
you may configure other parameter variables from your network
station using Telnet or a web browser.
Connecting to the Internet
The internet/print multiple server must be connected to the internet
(this is also known as a “Wide Area Network or ‘WAN’” connection)
using the COM serial port. The COM port can either be connected to
the serial port of a modem (or fax/modem), or to an ISDN terminal
adapter. The faster the WAN connection is, the faster access will be
and the more users will be able to get on the internet simultaneously.
Connect the COM port of the internet/print multiple server to a modem or ISDN terminal adapter using a standard serial cable.
Connecting Power
Power is supplied to the internet/print multiple server through an
AC power adapter. Check the technical specifications section for information about the AC power input voltage.
