Section 3: Wireless Security Configuration
This section provides a suggested security set up for the WPS870G. You need an installed WPS870G for this procedure.
Wireless networks require configuration so that wireless devices can talk to one another. But they also require security configuration so that outsiders cant use your wireless network. Failure to configure these settings properly could compromise your network to wireless hackers. The Installation Wizard guided you through the basic installation process so you should be wirelessly connected to your wireless router. If not, refer to Section 2:Installation to install your unit. If you have not already configured your wireless networks security to their maximum level (the WPS870G supports WPA-PSK/TKIP), refer to the following instructions to change your password, enable authentication and wireless encryption:

Logging In

Your WPS870G must have received an IP address for you to connect to it. Start your Web browser. In the URL field, type http:// followed by the IP address of the WPS870G, for example: 192.168.10.3. This is the IP address you assigned during the installation. If this is the first time you are logging into the device, it is recommended that you bookmark the address for easy retrieval. Type the password. The default password is motorola.
Press ENTER or click LOG IN. The default login page is displayed.

Section 4: Web-Based Management
This section explains how to configure the WPS870G using your Web browser.
The WPS870G uses an HTTP server, which allows you to connect to the Wireless Print Server and configure it using your web browser. Most browsers should work, provided they support tables and forms. You use an IP address to log on to the Print Servers Web-based Management Utility.

Preparation

Because the WPS870G supports dynamic IP address allocation using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, the WPS870G ships with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. This is not a valid IP address. Therefore, read the following flowchart to learn what you need to do: Use the Restore Button to print a report that includes the current IP address (press and release the Restore Button). If the IP address is not valid, then choose one of these two options:
Check your DHCP server (if you have one) and determine the IP address allocated to the WPS870G.
Use the Installation Wizard on the CD-ROM to allocate a valid IP address to the WPS870G.
If you are required to allocate an IP address for your WPS870G, refer to IP Assignment for details.

Navigate to the program by clicking Start > Programs > IPP Port Monitor > Add IPP Port. The Configure IPP Port window is displayed:
Enter the IP Address or URL of the IPP Server. If using a router with forwarding capabilities, then enter the routers IP address. If you are assigned a public IP address from your ISP, enter that IP address. If Internet access from your location is using a Proxy Server, check Access IPP Server via Proxy Server, and enter details of your Proxy Server (this will be the same as your Browser configuration). For Port Number use 631. If necessary, click Select Device Port to view the available ports on the WPS870G, and select the appropriate port. Click Save.

PAGE 67

Either select an existing printer to use the new port and click OK, or Click the Add New Printer button to create a new printer to use the IPP port. This will start the Add Printer wizard. Follow the prompts to complete the process. Ensure that the new printer uses the IPP port.
Installation is now complete. To create additional IPP Ports, repeat the entire procedure. Note: The Proxy Server and other options are set individually for each IPP Port.
IPP Client Setup Windows 2000/XP
Windows 2000 and XP have their own IPP Client so there is no need to install the supplied IPP Client software. If using a router, you need to configure it to forward port 631 to the WPS870G. To use the Windows IPP Client with the WPS870G: Start the Add Printer wizard by clicking Start > Settings > Printers. Select Network Printer and click Next.

PAGE 68

The Locate your Printer window is displayed:
Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your intranet and enter the URL of the WPS870G as follows: ip_address represents the IP address of the IPP Server and 631 is the port number. Port 1 (Parallel) Port 2 (USB) ip_address:631/ipp/P1 ip_address:631/ipp/P2
Note: These entries are case sensitive. They must be entered as shown, with "ipp" in lower case, and P1 and P2 in UPPER case. If the connection can be established and the printer on that port is on-line, the Connect to Printer window is displayed to prompt you to install the printer driver.

Click OK and then select the printer manufacturer and model that matches the printer connected to the port on the WPS870G. Click Next and complete the Wizard.
The IPP printer is now ready for use.

PAGE 69

Changing the IPP Port Settings
After the IPP port is created, you can access the Configure IPP Port window using the Windows Port Settings button: 3 Open the Printers folder by clicking Start > Settings > Printers. Right-click the IPP Printer and select Properties. Locate and click Port Settings (Details or Port tab, depending on your version of Windows). There are 2 settings - Retry Interval and Retry Count which can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP Server. Retry Interval sets the time interval (in seconds) between connection attempts. Increase this number if you have a poor connection or the remote server is very busy. Retry Count sets how many connection attempts will be made. Increase this number if you have a poor connection or the remote server is very busy.

Using IPP Printers

The IPP Printer functions like any other Windows printer. When printing from an application, select the IPP Printer. If the IPP Server is not on your network, your Internet connection needs to be active. If using the supplied IPP Client software, you can use the Query IPP Printer program installed with Add IPP Port to check the availability of the remote IPP Server. An IPP Server may be unavailable for any of the following reasons: It is powered off. A printer problem has caused the IPP Server to cease responding, and a restart (reboot) is required. The Server's IP address has changed. The Internet connection for the IPP Server is down. Network congestion causes the connection attempt to time out. If using the supplied IPP Client software, there are two settings - Retry Interval and Retry Count - which can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP Server. See Changing the IPP Port Settings for details.

Section 7: Troubleshooting
This section describes some situations that may arise and the solutions to them.

Contact Information

If you encounter printing difficulties, please refer to the appropriate section. If, after following the advice below and the Wireless Print Server still does not function properly, please access our website at http://www.motorola.com/broadband/consumers for the latest information. You can also reach us 7 days a week, 24 hours a day at 1-877-466-8646.

Hardware and LAN Solutions
All of the Wireless Print Server's LEDs are off. Check the power supply or power connection. The Wireless Print Server unit cannot be found on the LAN, so configuration is not possible. If using the Wireless Interface to access: Temporarily disable WEP on your other Wireless stations. If using "Ad-Hoc" mode, it is not possible for Wireless stations to connect to the Wireless Print Server, because its default mode is "Infrastructure". You must use the wired interface for initial configuration. If using "Infrastructure" mode, verify that the SSID of the WPS870G matches your Access Points SSID. The Access Point itself has a blank (null) SSID. If there is a setting "Broadcast SSID" or "Allow SSID of ANY", this setting should be enabled. If using the Wired 10/100BaseT interface to access: Check the Hub/Router/Switch. The link LED for the port to which the Wireless Print Server is connected should be On. If it is Off, there may be a problem in the network cable. On the Wireless Print Server, check the LAN LED. If the LED is not On, the network connection is not working. If using TCP/IP: Ensure that there are no routers between the Wireless Print Server and the computer used for configuration.

PAGE 71

Ensure that the computer used for configuration has the TCP/IP network protocol installed. Test its network connection by seeing if you can locate other LAN devices from the computer. (For example, Use Network Neighborhood and try to browse the network.) Note: you must power off the Wireless Print Server before connecting or disconnecting the LAN cable when switching between wireless and wired interfaces. I am using DHCP and there is an IP Address conflict involving the Wireless Print Server. If the Wireless Print Server is left on, but the DHCP server is turned off, the Wireless Print Server will retain its IP address without the DHCP Server being aware of it. Simply reset the Wireless Print Server so it obtains a new IP address. This problem also occurs if you assigned a static IP address that is within the range used by the DHCP server. If so, use another address that is NOT within the range used by the DHCP server. I use a router and had to restart it. Now I cant print. Re-power the Wireless Print Server until it re-associates with the router. If you still cannot print, run the Installation Wizard again to configure the Print Server. How do I change the Domain name? If you need to select another Domain for the Wireless Print Server, re-run the Installation Wizard.

Click Browse, select the desired Wireless Print Server, and click OK.
10 Click OK to return to the Printers folders and right-click on the Printer. Ensure that the Work Offline option is NOT checked.
The Printer should no longer be grayed out, and is ready for use. Note: The windows shown above are from Windows 98. Other versions of Windows may look slightly different, but the process is identical. Using Windows 2000/XP, I installed the printer using LPR as recommended, but I cannot print. Check that the correct Printer driver is being used. Try disabling the Bidirectional printing support, as follows: Open the Printers folder by navigating Start > Settings > Printers. Right-click on the Printer and select Properties.

PAGE 77

Select the Ports tab.
Uncheck the Enable bidirectional support checkbox. Click OK.
When printing from some software applications such as PowerPoint, it takes a long time and the printout is incorrect. The problem is due to the printer, which is configured to Start printing after the first page is spooled. To change this setting: Navigate to Start > Settings > Printers and click and highlight your printer. From the menu, select File > Properties > and then the Details or Advanced tab, depending upon your version of Windows. If necessary, click Spool Settings. Select Start printing after last page is spooled and click OK.
How do I print to the Wireless Print Server's printer from an MS-DOS program? You need to set the MS-DOS program to use LPT1 (parallel port 1) then "Capture" the output and re-direct it to the Wireless Print Server. Windows 98SE/ME 1 Select Start > Settings > Printers to open the Printers folder.

PAGE 78

Right-click the Wireless Print Server's Printer, and select Properties. On the Details tab, click Capture. The Capture Printer Port window is displayed:
Select the Device, normally LPT1 (parallel port 1). Enter or select the Path to the printer: \\printer_name\P1 Where printer_name is the actual name of your printer. The printer_name is MOT appended with the last 7 digits of the devices MAC address (see the MAC label on the bottom of your device). For example: \\MOT3000014\P1 Select Reconnect at logon. If this is not done, the capture setting will be lost when Windows is restarted.

The remote printer name is the logical printer (for example, L1) on the Wireless Print Server. If asked for the LPD type, enter the service type as BSD. In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the Print Queue serviced by the logical printer on the Wireless Print Server, and Spooler_dir is the name of the directory, which is used to spool the print jobs. Procedure Table Action Create a spooling directory Set spooling daemon as owner of this directory Create read/write permissions Give permissions to LPD processes Add remote printer(s) Start lcomputer print mechanism Adding Remote Printers A remote printer is added by inserting the following line in the /etc/printcap file. Note: The entry is really one line, but can be entered as shown. Use a TAB character where shown.

Where:
Printer_name is the Print Queue name used to store jobs for the corresponding logical printer. PS_NAME is the Wireless Print Server name defined in /etc/hosts. Logical_Printer_name is the logical printer name on the Wireless Print Server (for example, L1). Spooler_directory is the directory created. Example: Marketing|RP1_PS123456:\ [TAB] :lp=:\ [TAB] :rm=PS_Rm203:\ [TAB] :rp=L1:\ [TAB] :sd=/usr/spool/Marketing:\ [TAB] :mx#0: Repeat this process for each Logical Printer/Print Queue combination that you wish to create.
