Control Panel
Control Panel allows you to adjust the password to the WPS870G and to update the units firmware.

Before performing client configuration, the WPS870G must be installed on your LAN and configured as described in Section 2:Installation. Both the WPS870G and the attached printer must be powered on.

Printing Methods

The Wireless Print Server supports a number of printing methods: Print Server Utility is the recommended method. See Section 2:Installation for details. IP Printing means that the print jobs are stored (queued) on a computer and then sent directly to the WPS870G using an IP address. Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network Server (for example, Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the WPS870G. 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 (Server Message Block) printing is a Microsoft standard for using a Network Printer. No additional software needs to be installed on your Windows computer and printing from MS-DOS programs is supported. However, because the WPS870G cannot store files, large print jobs may cause problems. AppleTalk is supported, and normally no configuration of the WPS870G is required. See the Macintosh (AppleTalk) for details of client configuration.
Which printing method should I use?
If using Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP, the easiest method to use (when not using the Print Server utility) is IP Printing. If using Windows, and you need to print from MS-DOS programs, use SMB. However, SMB is not suitable for large or complex documents, so if you need this as well as MS-DOS printing, you should install both IP Printing and SMB printing. MS-DOS programs can use the SMB printer; Windows programs should use IP Printing. If your LAN has Network Servers (for example, Windows NT, Windows 2000 Server) use the method advised by your Network Administrator. The WPS870G can print using a queue located on a Network server, if desired. Unix users - refer to the Appendix C: Unix Systems. Macintosh users - refer to the Macintosh (AppleTalk) or Macintosh OS X. PAGE 51
Checking Your Network Protocols (Windows 9x)
Your computer must have either TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed. All versions of Windows after Windows 95 already have TCP/IP installed by default. You must verify that the desired protocols are available, as follows: 1 From your computer, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network. You should see a window similar to the following:
The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the NetBEUI protocol is installed on this computer. Your computer will show the name of 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 computer will show the name of your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter". 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.

A window is displayed (the window on your system may differ slightly from the example below):
Items shown on this window are as follows: Port If desired, click Browse to select a different Wireless Print Server. If the selected device has multiple ports, use Select Device Port to select the port. The Port Name cannot be changed after installation. This name is shown in the Printer's Properties. Retry Interval Sets how often Windows polls the Wireless Print Server to establish a connection when the printer is busy. Increase this value if you get too many warning messages.

Windows SMB Printing
This method requires no additional software to be installed, but either the NetBEUI or TCP/IP protocol must be installed on your computer. If you need to change the Domain name of your WPS870G, run the Installation Wizard again. Use the following procedure to configure the WPS870Gs printer as a Windows SMB network printer: 3 Double-click the Network Neighborhood or My Network Places icon on your desktop. From the View menu, select Details. Locate the desired Wireless Print Server, as shown in the example below: If it is the same Workgroup as your computer, it will be listed. If it is in a different workgroup, double-click Entire Network, then double-click the appropriate Workgroup to locate it.
Double-click WPS870G to view a Printer icon for each printer port. The Comment field may indicate what type of printer is connected to the port.

PAGE 60

To install a printer, right-click the desired printer icon, and choose Install, as shown below. This starts the Add Printer wizard.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. Select the Printer Manufacturer and Model to match the printer connected to this port on the Wireless Print Server, and complete the Wizard.
This printer now appears in your Printers folder (Start > Settings > Printers) and can be used like any other printer. However, SMB printing is not suitable for large complex print jobs use Windows IP Printing instead.

PAGE 61

Windows with Server-based Print Queues
With a Server-based Print Queue, the WPS870G is installed on an existing Network Server (Windows, Unix, or NetWare), rather than on your computer.
If your Network Administrator uses this system, each Windows client must be set up to work with your network server as follows: Open your Printers folder, and start the Add Printer Wizard by clicking Start > Settings > Printers. Double click Add Printer. When prompted, select Network Printer and click Next. When prompted for Network path or queue name: On Windows 98SE/ME, click Browse. On Windows 2000/XP, leave the field blank and click Next.

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.

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.

AppleTalk (Macintosh) Solutions
Why do I get an incorrect printout? Some possible reasons are: You may have chosen Binary encoding to print the file. Try using ASCII encoding. Some of the fonts in your print file may not be supported by the printer. Try selecting LaserWriter 7 instead of LaserWriter 8. Can't find the Wireless Print Server's name in the Chooser. Try the following: Make sure that AppleTalk is on (the button next to Active is highlighted in the Chooser). Make sure the printer has been on and in the READY state for a few minutes. Make sure the printer has not been renamed since its last appearance in the Chooser. If the printer resides on a network with multiple zones, make sure the correct zone is selected from the AppleTalk Zones box in the Chooser.

PAGE 72

My EPS file does not print with the correct fonts.
This is a problem that occurs in some application programs. Try downloading the fonts contained in the EPS file before printing the saved EPS file. I cannot select the "Remaining from:" item in the print dialog box. If you have selected the Layout value, "2 Up," or "4 Up," you cannot access the Remaining from item. Choose other selections. A cover page prints either on the first or the last page of the document. Select one of these solutions: Turn the cover page feature off in your printer driver. Insert extra page breaks in your document to avoid the cover page printing on the first or last page of your document. The colors on my printed output do not match the colors on my computer screen. When the printer receives a color file, it tries to match the printed output color to the screen color. Sometimes the printer cannot match up the colors as closely as desired. To alleviate this problem, perform the following steps: Choose "Calibrated Color/Grayscale" in the Print pop-up menu in the Print Options dialog box. The printer makes adjustments to match the colors. Check your monitor to ensure all settings (for example, brightness) are adjusted correctly. Use calibration software, available from other vendors. When I send a print job, I get a PostScript Command error or no printout. Check the communication protocols. The computer, Wireless Print Server, and printer must all be configured to the same communication protocol (either Binary or ASCII). To configure your system: Choose which protocol you are going to use. You should check your printer as it may only use one certain protocol. Set your printer to the desired protocol. Use the computer's Print submenu to configure your computer to use the protocol you have chosen. Configure the Wireless Print Server to use the same protocol as the printer and computer.

Client computers can now be configured as described in Section 2:Installation.

PAGE 85

Appendix C: Unix Systems
Your Wireless Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all common Unix systems. You must configure both the Wireless Print Server itself and your Unix system, as described in the following sections.
Wireless Print Server IP Address Configuration
Because it supports dynamic IP address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the Wireless Print Server ships with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP address. Therefore, you must do ONE of the following: Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP address allocated to the Wireless Print Server. Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to the Wireless Print Server, then restart the Wireless Print Server. Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard utility to allocate a valid IP address to the Wireless Print Server. Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the Wireless Print Server with the desired IP address, as follows: arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx Where: IP_Address is the IP address you wish to assign to the Wireless Print Server. 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of the Wireless Print Server. Example arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56 You should then assign this IP address to the Wireless Print Server using your Web browser, as described in IP Assignment. Note: The hardware address of the Wireless Print Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.

PAGE 86

LPD Configuration
Configuration for the most common platforms is described below.

LPD on IBM AIX 4.15

Before proceeding, ensure that the Wireless Print Server has been assigned an IP address. To setup your AIX system for LPD printing, perform the following steps. Add the Wireless Print Server to /etc/hosts.lpd, using the name you assigned to the Wireless Print Server. Start the LPD daemon if it is not running, using the following command: start src -s qdaemon Start the system administration tool smit and select Print Spooling. Create the required number of queues (one for each logical printer) by selecting: 5 Add a Print Queue Remote (Printer attached to Remote Host) Standard Processing
Use the following information: Field Name of queue to add Hostname for remote server Name of queue on remote server Type of print spooler on remote server Entry Use a single-word queue name, which indicates which printer is attached. Wireless Print Server name as used in /etc/hosts.lpd. Logical printer number (for example, L1) to service this queue. Use default value. (AIX Version xxx)
Ensure that the logical printers are configured in the Wireless Print Server. Print using the following command: lp -d printer_queue file_name Where printer_queue is one of the entries used in Name of queue to add. file_name is the file you wish to print.

PAGE 87

LPD on System V
Before beginning LPD Setup, ensure that an IP address has been assigned to the Wireless Print Server. Keep the following points in mind: The remote host name is the name of the Wireless Print Server. The remote printer name is the print queue name for the Logical Printer. Logical printers also need to be configured on the Wireless Print Server itself. If your UNIX asks for the LPD type, be sure to identify the service type as BSD. The Wireless Print Servers LPD protocol meets BSD system standards. In the sample commands shown, printer_name is the name of the Print Queue serviced by the Wireless Print Server, and Spooler_directory is the name of the directory, which is used to spool the print jobs. Procedure Table Action Stop Print Services Add a System Printer Restart the Print Services Enable printing to the new printer device Start accepting jobs for the new printer device Create a spooling directory Make spooling daemon the owner of this directory Create read/write permissions Give permissions to LPD processes. Add remote printer(s) Sample Command /usr/lib/lpshut /usr/lib/lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/null /usr/lib/lpsched enable printer_name accept printer_name mkdir /usr/spool/Spooler_directory chown daemon /usr/spool/Spooler_directory chmod 775 /usr/spool/Spooler_directory chgrp daemon /usr/spool/Spooler_directory See following section

PAGE 88

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. Printer_name|Remote_Printer_Alias:\ [TAB] :lp=:\ [TAB] :rm=PS_NAME:\ [TAB] :rp=Logical_Printer_name:\ [TAB] :sd=Spooler_directory:\ [TAB] :mx#0: 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 you 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.

LPD on Linux

If using the command line, the procedure is the same as for System V. (above) On recent Linux distributions, you can use the graphical X-windows interface instead of the command line. The procedure is described below, but may vary according to your version of Linux. Start your X-windows shell. Select Control Panel, then Printer Configuration. Select Add. For the printer type, select Remote Unix (lpd) Queue. Use the following data to complete the resulting dialog.

ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol is a protocol used for error, problem, and informational messages sent between IP hosts and gateways. ICMP messages are processed by the IP software and are not usually apparent to the end-user. IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (http://www.ieee.org) is an organization that produces standards, technical papers, and symposiums for the electrical and electronic industries and is accredited by ANSI. 802.11b and 802.11g are examples of standards they have produced. Infrastructure network Describes a wireless network that is governed by a wireless router to one or more access points, as opposed to an Ad-Hoc network that uses no central management device. Also see Ad-Hoc network for further details.

Internet A worldwide collection of interconnected networks using TCP/IP. IP Internet Protocol is a set of standards that enable different types of computers to communicate with one another and exchange data through the Internet. IP provides the appearance of a single, seamless communication system and makes the Internet a virtual network. IP Address A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP networks route messages based on the destination IP address. For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address and the final 8 bits are the host address; in dotted-decimal format it appears network.network.network.host. ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network ISP Internet Service Provider
LAN Local Area Network. A local area network provides a full-time, high-bandwidth connection over a limited area such as a home, building, or campus. Ethernet is the most widely used LAN standard.
MAC Address The Media Access Control address is a unique, 48-bit value permanently saved in the ROM at the factory to identify each Ethernet network device. It is expressed as a sequence of 12 hexadecimal digits printed on the units label. Also called an Ethernet address, physical address, hardware address, or NIC address. MB One megabyte; equals 1,024 x 1,024 bytes, 1,024 kilobytes, or about 8 million bits. Mbps Million bits per second (megabits per second). A rate of data transfer.

PAGE 101

MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest amount of data that can be transmitted in one discrete message on a given physical network. The MTU places an upper bound limit on the size of a message that can be transferred by the network in a single frame. Messages exceeding the MTU must be fragmented before transmission, and reassembled at the destination. Multicast A data transmission sent from one sender to multiple receivers. See also broadcast and unicast.
