CHAPTER 1
Introducing the NPS-520
This chapter introduces the main applications of the NPS-520. It also introduces the ways you
can manage the NPS-520.
1.1 Overview
The NPS-520 (labeled NPS in the following graphic) is a print server that allows the
computers in a network to share a printer, especially a multi-function printer (MFP). A MFP is
a printer that can also work as a scanner, fax machine, copy machine, card reader and so on.
The NPS-520 has one USB port and one Ethernet port. If a MFP comes with a USB port but
no Ethernet port, the NPS-520 allows you to connect the MFP to your network and provides
users on the network with shared access to the printer.
Figure 1 Application Overview
Windows 2000 SP4 and later computers connected to the NPS-520 can use all features
available on an MFP, such as copying, printing, scanning and so on. They should also support
LPR (Line Printer Remote) or IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). Other computers connected to
the NPS-520 can only use the printer to print. Computers must take turns using the printer.
1.2 Ways to Manage the NPS-520
Use any of the following methods to manage the NPS-520.
• ZyXEL Utility. The utility is a tool that helps you configure the NPS-520 in a Windows
computer.
• Web Configurator. You must use the web configurator if your are using a Linux/UNIX or
Macintosh computer.
NPS-520 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the NPS-520
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the NPS-520
Do the following things regularly to make the NPS-520 more secure and to manage the NPS520 more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place. If you forget your password, you will
have to reset the NPS-520 to its factory default settings.
1.4 Hardware and Utility Installation
Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to make hardware connections and install the
ZyXEL utility.
1.5 The Reset Button
If you forget the password and cannot access the ZyXEL utility’s TCP/IP Setting and System
Setting screens or the web configurator, you will need to use the Reset button on the side of
the NPS-520. This means you will lose all configurations that you had previously. The
password will be reset to 1234 and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.1.6.
1 Make sure the Ready LED on the NPS-520’s panel is on (not blinking).
2 Press the Reset button for more than five seconds and then release it.
3 The Ready LED is off when you press the button. Then the Ready and Status LEDs
flash once.
4 When the Ready LED turns steady on, the defaults have been restored and the NPS-520
is ready.

CHAPTER 4
Adding a Printer on Your
Computer
To use a printer, you need to install the printer driver and set up the printer on your computer.
In Windows, you can also use the ZyXEL utility to set up a printer and/or associate an existing
printer driver with the NPS-520. See your Quick Start Guide for more information.
" You must have a printer with a driver and you need to know the IP address of
the NPS-520.
4.1 Printing Protocol
Most printers or printing software allow sending or receiving jobs over an Intranet or the
Internet. The NPS-520 supports the following printing protocols:
• LPR (Line Printer Remote)
•RAW
• IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
If you want to use a printer on your local network, use LPR or RAW. If you want to use a
printer on a remote network over the Internet, use IPP.
4.1.1 LPR
LPR (Line Printer Remote) is a cross-platform printing protocol that runs on a client computer
and uses TCP/IP to establish connections between printers and computers on a network. It
sends print jobs to a print server that is running LPD (Line Printer Daemon) protocol.
4.1.2 RAW
This is the data type for print job using languages, such as PCL or PortScript. The RAW
protocol is the default printing protocol for most printer. The RAW-formatted job is sent to a
print server on TCP port 9100 (standard).
To use RAW in Windows 98 SE, Windows Me or Windows NT, you need to install an
additional software to add a network port for your print server.
NPS-520 User’s Guide
45
Chapter 4 Adding a Printer on Your Computer
LPR or RAW is always used when a user wants to use a printer on the local network.
4.1.3 IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is used to send print jobs to a remote printer either directly on
default IPP port 631 or using HTTP on port 80. This has been implemented in many operating
systems, such as Microsoft and Novell. IPP is always used when the client computers send
print jobs over the Internet.
If you want to share a printer with users on a remote network, you need to give the print server
a public IP address or allows it accessible to the outside network. You also need to make sure
your firewall allows IPP services over either port 80 or port 631.
Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and Windows XP support IPP v1.0. To print using IPP in
Windows 98 SE or Windows Me, make sure the IPP client is installed on your computer.
4.2 Adding a Printer in Windows

Troubleshooting
This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter.
V The NPS-520 does not turn on. None of the LEDs turn on.
1 Make sure you are using the power adaptor or cord included with the NPS-520.
2 Make sure the power adaptor or cord is connected to the NPS-520 and plugged in to an
appropriate power source. Make sure the power source is turned on.
3 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the NPS-520.
4 If the problem continues, contact the vendor.
V One of the LEDs does not behave as expected.
5 Check the hardware connections. See the Quick Start Guide or Section 1.6 on page 19.
6 Inspect your cables for damage. Contact the vendor to replace any damaged cables.
7 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor to the NPS-520.
8 If the problem continues, contact the vendor.
V I forgot the IP address for the NPS-520.
1 The default IP address is 192.168.1.6.
2 If you set the NPS-520 to get the IP address from a DHCP server, look up the IP address
assigned to the NPS-520 in the DHCP server.
3 If you manually changed the IP address and have forgotten it, open the ZyXEL utility
from a computer connected to the NPS-520. Check the IP address in the TCP/IP Setting
screen.
4 If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 1.5
on page 18.
