INSTALLING THE PRINT
SERVER HARDWARE
The Paxar  Monarch  7410  Print Server lets you communicate with the
Paxar  Monarch  9850  printer on the 9876  mobile printing station from
anywhere on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the print server in
ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless mode. The
print server operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b
wireless compatible network.
In addition, the wireless print server includes a unique dual-mode built-in
wired Ethernet connection. What does this mean? No more production
slowdowns in poor coverage areas; when the RF net is down; or when RF
traffic is heavy. Simply wheel the mobile printing station to the nearest
Ethernet jack, plug it in, and the print server automatically switches to wired
Ethernet mode! Unplug the Ethernet cable and it automatically switches
back to RF!
Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server
for your 9850 printer. For more information and software downloads, see
Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
System Requirements
To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an
802.11b wireless network. The wireless network consists of either of the
following:
♦ An 802.11b wireless enabled PC printing straight to the printer (Ad-Hoc
or Peer-to-Peer Mode).
♦ An 802.11b wireless Access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet
enabled computers to print to the print server (Infrastructure Mode).
Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-1
To configure and print, you need the following:
1.
The MAC address from the label of the print server (for example:
004017023F96).
2.
The following information from your wireless network administrator:
♦ Wireless Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc)
♦ The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network.
♦ If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows
Networks) and are not connected to a DHCP server (for
obtaining an IP Address automatically), you need a unique
IP Address for the wireless print server (for example:
192.168.1.14) and a subnet mask. If the print server is not
on the same IP subnet as the computers you are printing
from, you need a subnet mask. A router (default gateway)
address is optional.
Network Protocols Supported
♦ TCP/IP:
LPD/LPR
Raw TCP/IP (port 9100 or any chosen port)
NetBIOS over IP (with SMB)
♦ Configurable TCP port number (any chosen port)
♦ TELNET
♦ WINS
♦ DHCP
1-2 Installing the Print Server Hardware
Checking the Print Server Hardware
The print server comes preinstalled and tested in your 9850 printer. Do not
plug any cables into the parallel port when using the print server. A printer
with this print server cannot use the parallel port. However, the serial port is
still active.

1-6 Installing the Print Server Hardware
Verifying Successful Installation
When the print server is turned on, it goes through the following startup
sequence:
♦ It runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds. If the
print server is operating properly, the yellow and green LEDs blink
momentarily and then go out. If the green light blinks continuously in a
regular patter, there is a problem. Try unplugging the power and then
plugging it in again. If the problem persists, contact technical support.
♦ When a successful connection is made to the print server from another
802.11b wireless device like an access point or PC, the yellow light
remains lit. The green light blinks whenever there is wireless networking
activity.
Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-7
1-8 Installing the Print Server Hardware
CONFIGURING THE 802.11B
AND IP SETTINGS
Configuring the Print Server
There are three basic steps required to configure print server:
1.
Configuring the 802.11b settings. To operate on an 802.11b network,
you must set the wireless (ad-hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel, data
rate and WEP encryption. All nodes of a wireless network need to have
the same settings in order to communicate with each other.
2.
Configuring the IP address settings. You need to set the IP address,
subnet mask, and router address if you are using TCP/IP, NetBIOS IP,
or if you want to use the Web Browser management utility.
3.
Configuring the print server for operation with the network operating
systems. Configure the print server to print using one or more network
operating systems (for example, Windows NT/2000, NetWare, etc.).
To use the print server’s wired Ethernet, just connect the cable and you are
ready! Configuration is not necessary for wired Ethernet use.
Before You Begin
If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption on your wireless
network, you will need to temporarily disable WEP on your PC in order to
configure the print server. If you are using an access point with WEP
enabled and it does not allow non-wep clients to communicate with other
non-wep clients, then you will also need to temporarily change the wireless
mode of your computer to Ad-hoc (802.11) mode.
NOTE: If no computers on your network can be set to Ad-hoc mode, you
need to temporarily disable WEP on your access point. When you
are done configuring the print server, you can re-enable WEP on
your computer and change the wireless mode back if necessary.
Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings 2-1
♦ If you are using TCP/IP, note your computer’s IP address. The print
server needs to be on the same IP segment as the other nodes on your
network in order to communicate.
♦ If you are using infrastructure mode, make sure you have a good signal
between your computer and the access point. Most wireless adapters
have a utility that shows the wireless signal strength. See your wireless
adapter’s documentation for details.
♦ If you are using a home gateway or router, you should configure the print
server from a PC on the same network segment that you want the print
server to be on.
Installing the Software
The following operating systems are supported: Microsoft  Windows  95,
98, ME, NT  4, 2000, and XP.
Follow these steps to install the WP-Admin software and configure the print
server.
1.
Insert the Wireless Configuration CD-ROM into your PC.
2.
Click on Install PaxarNet Utilities, then click on Install PaxarNet
Configuration Utilities and Printing Software.
NOTE: If you are using Windows and don’t have the Java Runtime installed
on your system, you will be prompted to install it, click Continue.
3.
Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the utility. When WPAdmin starts, you will see the WP-Admin Wireless Server Search screen.
4.
Click START to begin searching for print servers. WP-Admin gets the
information from the print server(s) and lists the Server Name and
Ethernet Address (which should correspond with the label on the back of
the print server). It might take a minute or two for the print server to
show up, especially if you have a large wireless network. The default
name of the print server is XCD_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six
digits of the Ethernet (MAC) address (for example, XCD_08B2C7).
NOTE: If you do not see the print server in the list, hold down the button for
more than 5 seconds to reset it to factory defaults and try the search
again. If you still do not see it, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
2-2 Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings
5.
When you see the print server you want to configure in the list, highlight
it and click Configure. If you are using DHCP, wait until the print server
gets an IP Address from the DHCP server and is updated on the search
screen before configuring (the IP address changes from the default
192.0.0.192 to a new value).
NOTE: If the wireless signal is less than 50% on the search screen, printing
performance could be affected. To improve the signal strength, try
moving the print server closer to the computer or access point and
away from other radio devices such as Bluetooth  wireless devices,
microwave ovens, or 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones.
6.
You will be prompted for the configuration password (the default
password is access ), type in the password and click OK to continue.
The Wireless Server Configuration screen comes up.
NOTE: If you are having trouble configuring a print server, click Cancel to
get back to the Search screen, click Clear to clear the list of print
servers, and start again from step 4 above.
7.
The settings of the print server you selected in the Wireless Server
Search screen will be displayed. Many of the fields are automatically
configured to match the network being used, so you probably do NOT
need to change the Wireless Mode, RF Channel, SSID, and Data Rate
settings unless you want to want to change the print server to a different
wireless network.
♦ If your network uses WEP encryption, you need to enable WEP and enter
the appropriate WEP key(s). Contact your system manager to determine
what information you need.
♦ If you are using TCP/IP and you do not have a DHCP server (see note
below), you will need to manually assign a valid IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway and then set the Boot Method to Static.
8.
When you are done configuring, click OK.
Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings 2-3
NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server may have
acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is
necessary. This might work well if your DHCP server allows the print
server to keep this address permanently, but in most cases, you
should use a static address outside the range reserved for DHCP
(See your DHCP server documentation for details). This is because
when you configure your printer port, it goes to a static IP address.
Your print server should be configured correctly at this point.
2-4 Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings
MANAGEMENT METHODS
There are a variety of ways to configure and monitor the print
server. These methods are: WP-Admin, XAdmin32, Web Browser, PaxarNet
Console, HP JetAdmin, or HP Web JetAdmin.
WP-Admin Utility
This utility runs on Windows computers, and is used for initial configuration
of the print server and allows you to set the wireless settings as well as the
basic network settings including TCP/IP.

XAdmin32 Utility
This utility runs on Windows computers and is used for advanced
configuration of the print server; it allows you to configure for Netware,
TCP/IP, and more. It is a 32-bit graphical utility that is compatible with
Windows PC’s running TCP/IP or IPX/SPX Protocols.
This utility can be downloaded from our web site, see Chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting.” After initial installation, this utility can be run from the
START menu under START>Programs>Troy Group>Etherwind>XAdmin32.
The default password is ACCESS .
Web Browser
This utility allows the user to configure the print server with a standard web
browser like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. No
additional software is needed on the system. It can be used on any system
that supports web browser capabilities.
Management Methods 3-1
Simply type the IP address into your web browser address bar to connect.
The default password is ACCESS .
NOTE: Both the print server and the PC must be configured with an IP
address and your browser must be configured to work across a LAN
in order to use a Web Browser.
PaxarNet Console
This is a command-line oriented console that contains features not available
through WP-Admin, Xadmin32 or a Web Browser. The default password is
ACCESS .

get the "#" prompt, enter the password, ACCESS (it will not echo)
and type anything in response to the "Enter Username>" prompt.
When you get the "Local>" prompt, you are ready to enter
commands.
HP JetAdmin Utility
This HP Windows-based utility (works transparently with JetAdmin) can be
downloaded from the HP web site (http://www.hp.com).
NOTE: The print server will not appear in the list of configured servers
unless TCP/IP or IPX is running on the computer.
3-2 Management Methods
HP Web JetAdmin Utility
This HP utility for Windows NT Advanced Server and Windows 2000 can be
downloaded from the HP web site (http://www.hp.com). Once it is installed, a
web browser on any computer that has access to the Windows NT/2000
server may be used to access the print server.
Microsoft Windows Network Configuration
The print server includes the easy-to-use ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor
software for printing from Windows computers over an 802.11b wireless link.
This software creates a network port on the Windows system, which acts like
a normal parallel port. As a result, it works transparently with any standard
Windows printer driver and application program. Because this software uses
the industry-standard TCP/IP protocol, it can be used with IP routers and
other IP-based equipment.
Installing ExtendNet Connect
1.
Install the ExtendNet Connect IP Port Monitor by inserting the CD,
selecting Install PaxarNet Utilities, then Install ExtendNet Connect Port
Monitor. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this installation.
2.
Install the printer driver software according to the documentation for the
printer.
3.
Click the Windows Start button, select Settings, and then Printers.
4.
Right-Click on the printer you wish to associate with the network port,
and select Properties.
5.
If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP, go to the Ports tab. If you are
using Windows 95/98/ME, go to the Details tab.
6.
Click on Add Port.
Management Methods 3-3
7.
If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP system, highlight Paxar Group
ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor, and click New Port.
If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, select Other, highlight Paxar
Group ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor, and click OK.
8.
The search will begin for available print servers, highlight the print
server you would like to create the port for, and click ADD.
9.
Make sure the port you created is chosen and click Apply.
You are now ready to print.
Additional Windows Configuration Methods
The print server is also compatible with other methods of printing from
Windows. These include the Standard TCP/IP Port option in Windows
2000/XP, and the LPR Port option in Windows NT that are built into the
operating system.
UNIX Network Configuration
The print server appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a
unique IP address running the line printer daemon (lpd) protocol. As a
result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote-LPR command
can spool jobs to the print server without the need for any special software
on the host computer.
NOTE: Before configuring a UNIX print queue, the print server must have a
valid IP address.
3-4 Management Methods
Berkeley UNIX Host Configuration
Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital Equipment Corporation
Digital UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX; Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not
Solaris), SCO UNIX; and many others. Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM AIX users
should skip to the appropriate sections later in this manual.
♦ Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface printer
configuration utility, because it does not work with Paxar print servers.
Instead, Linux users should follow the configuration steps listed in this
section.
♦ SCO UNIX users should use the rlpconf command to create a printer and
automatically configure the /etc/printcap file (you will still need to edit the
/etc/hosts file). Enter the print server's service name (XCD_xxxxxx_P1)
as the name of the printer (refer to the print server self-test for the exact
name of this service), and enter the name of the print server that you
assigned in the /etc/hosts file as the remote host name; note that
because this name must be unique for each printer, we recommend using
the XCD_xxxxxx_P1 service instead of the normal BINARY_P1 service.
1.
Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example:
192.189.207.33
2.
xcdprinter
Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is:
LaserPrinter:\
:lp=:\
:rm=XCD:\
:rp=BINARY_P1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/LaserPrinter:
"LaserPrinter" is the queuename.
"XCD" matches the name in the hosts file.
"BINARY_P1" is the print server's service name. (NOTE: Use
TEXT_P1 instead of BINARY_P1 for text files.)
"sd" is the spool directory.
Management Methods 3-5
3.
Create the spool directory: The lpd spool directory is usually located in
the /usr/spool directory. To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir
command; for example:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/LaserPrinter
4.
Print using the standard lpr command:
lpr –PLaserJet
5.
filename
For AT&T based UNIX systems, such as SCO, use the standard lp
command:
lp –dLaserJet
filename
Sun Solaris Configuration
To use a print server with Sun Solaris, first use the Host Manager in the
Admintool utility to add the print server IP address and name to the
/etc/hosts file.
1.
Click on None - Use /etc files on host
2.
Click on Apply
3.
Click on Edit and then Add Host
4.
Enter the print server name as the Host Name (this name is anything you
want, but should not have an "_" character in it).
5.
Enter the IP address and Ethernet address of the print server (the
Ethernet address has the format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff)
6.
Click Add and then close the Host Manager windows
3-6 Management Methods
7.
Then use the Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under Open
Windows as follows:
Select Edit
Select Add
Select Add Access to Remote Printer
At the PrinterName prompt, type any desired name for the print queue
At the Printer Server prompt, type:
name\!servicename
(for example, LaserJet\!BINARY_P1), where:
name matches the print server name as entered in the hosts table.
servicename is the print service name. For binary graphics files use
the service BINARY_P1; for text files use the service TEXT_P1.
8.
Make sure that the Print Server OS is set to BSD (this is the default
setting).
9.
Select Add.
10. To print, use the standard lp command; for example:
lp –dLaserJet
filename
NOTES:
♦ We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than
NIS or other name services.
♦ Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier
releases, may cause problems printing very long print jobs. The
workaround is to configure the print server as an HP JetDirect card using
the HP JetAdmin for UNIX software.
♦ Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell using the
lpadmin command.

HP/UX Configuration
To configure a print server using HP/UX 10.x, use the same program and
these steps:
1.
When you get a list of options, select Printers and Plotters.
2.
Select LP Spooler.
3.
Select Printers and Plotters.
4.
Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.
5.
Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print
queue).
6.
Enter the IP address of the print server as the Remote System Name.
7.
Enter the desired print server service name (BINARY_P1 for binary files
or TEXT_P1 for text files) as the Remote Printer Name.
8.
Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD System.
9.
You may accept the default values for the remaining items.
10. Click OK to configure the printer.
11. You should now be able to print using the lp -d command with the printer
name.
NOTES:
♦ The configuration for HP Distributed Print Services and for earlier
versions of HP/UX is slightly different.
♦ The print server can also be configured as a JetDirect card using HP/UX.
To do this, you will need the HP UNIX Host Printing Software (part of
HP's JetAdmin for UNIX).

server that you specified in that file).
♦ Name of queue on remote printer BINARY_P1 for binary
files or TEXT_P1 for text files).
♦ Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).
8.
You should now be able to print using the normal lp -d command.
NOTES:
♦ The configuration for earlier versions of AIX is slightly
different. Refer to the Administrator's Manual on the CDROM for details.
♦ The print server can also be configured as a JetDirect card
using AIX. To do this, refer to your AIX documentation.
Management Methods 3-9
Configuration on Other Systems
The print server can be used with any computer system that supports the
lpr/lpd protocol or HP JetDirect (port 9100 is the default; however, it can be
reconfigured. Refer to the system’s documentation to configure lpr/lpd or
JetDirect print queues.
Banyan Vines Configuration
1.
Install the XAdmin software from the CD-ROM.
NOTE: Use XAdmin, not XAdmin32, when configuring a VINES-only
network. You can use XAdmin32 on a VINES network only if the PC
is running TCP/IP and both the PC and print server have valid IP
addresses.
2.
Double-click on the XAdmin icon to start the program under Windows.
3.
The print server appears as "XCD_xxxxxx_P1" where "xxxxxxx" is the
last six digits of the Ethernet address.

TROUBLESHOOTING
First, make sure the printer is operating properly:
1.
Is the printer online and does it have supplies?
2.
If the printer is working correctly, test the connection between the printer
and the print server by pushing the test button on the back of the printer
for less than 5 seconds.
3.
If the test page does not print, try resetting the print server to factory
defaults by holding the test button for more than 5 seconds.
Troubleshooting Wireless Configuration Problems
1.
Make sure your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point is
configured properly. Pay special attention to the wireless mode, SSID or
network name, WEP or security, and IP Address settings so you can
configure your 9850 print server to the same wireless settings.
2.
Make sure you have a good wireless signal from your PC (if your PC is
wireless) and from the print server, that the printer is within range (90
meters or 300 feet), and it is away from metal objects and other devices
with radio signals (like Bluetooth  , 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones, and
microwave ovens).
3.
Make sure your computer is set to infrastructure mode if you are
connecting through an access point, or ad-hoc (802.11) if you are
connecting to the 9850 print server without an access point. Refer to the
documentation for your wireless adapter for details.
4.
If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or security
on your wireless network, you need to temporarily disable WEP on your
PC in order to configure the print server. If you are using an access point
with WEP enabled and it does not allow non-wep clients to communicate
with other non-wep clients, then you also need to temporarily change the
wireless mode of your computer to Ad-hoc (802.11) mode.
Troubleshooting 4-1
NOTE: If no computers on your network can be set to Ad-hoc mode, you
need to temporarily disable WEP on your access point. When you
are done configuring the print server, you can re-enable WEP on
your computer and change the wireless mode back if necessary.
5.
If you want to use WEP encryption or password protect your wireless
network, and your wireless adapter or access point normally uses a
password or passphrase instead of WEP, it should allow you to enter 0x
followed by a ten digit (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP) or twenty-six digit (for
128-bit WEP) key in hexadecimal format (0-9 or A-F).
6.
If you are experiencing slow performance or are having intermittent
problems connecting, try changing the RF channel of your wireless
network (ad-hoc mode only). This can be done in the WP-Admin Wireless
Server Configuration screen for the print server. Refer to your wireless
adapter and/or access point documentation for more. You should change
it to at least 3 channels lower or higher than any other wireless networks
within range.
Troubleshooting Network Configuration
♦ If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the print
server are on the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING
command from the host. The IP Address you assign to the print server
must be on the same logical network as your host computers (e.g., if your
computer has an IP address of 192.189.207.3, the print server should
have an IP of 192.189.207.x, where x is an integer between 1 and 254),
or you must properly configure your router address to work with the print
server.
♦ If your print server is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP Address, it
is possible the print server’s IP Address can change. Either configure
your DHCP Server to give the print server a permanent lease or a
reserved IP address.
4-2 Troubleshooting
Wireless Server Configuration Screen Fields
Listed below is a description of each of the fields displayed on the Wireless
Server Configuration screen and reasonable values for that field. Once these
are all set, click OK to close the Configuration Screen and write the changes
to the Server. If you decide NOT to CHANGE the values, select CANCEL to
close the Configuration Screen and revert to the prior values.
Name
This is the name of the wireless print server. The default is
XCD_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the
MAC/Ethernet address). You can choose any name for this
setting. Many companies have suggested naming practices;
check with your System Administrator or Network Manager
for policies and practices.
Serial
Number
This is the fixed number which identifies the print server. It
is set during manufacture and does not change after that.
Password
This is the wireless print server configuration password. For
security, the password is never shown. (The field displays
asterisks (*) if you type characters into it.) You must know
the password before WP-Admin will show you the
Configuration Screen. Users should only put text into this
field if they want to change the password. Ask your System
Administrator or Network Manager for the correct password;
be sure the Administrator/Manager is informed and concurs
BEFORE the password is changed.
Firmware
Revision
This is a static string displaying the correct version of the
software embedded in the Server. It can not be modified.
IP Address
The IP Address is a set of four bytes, separated by periods.
Each byte can have any value between zero (0) and 255
inclusive. Most company networks have ranges for their IP
Addresses. Many have automatic IP set-up, so the IP
address may not require configuration. Consult with your
network administrator if you are not sure what to put in this
field.
Troubleshooting 4-3
WorkGroup/
Domain
This is the Microsoft Network WorkGroup or Domain in which
you want the print server. If you are using NetBIOS or
NetBEUI to print, this value should match the PC from which
you are printing.
Subnet Mask
Companies often have ranges of IP Addresses that can be
described by one or more Masks. For example, a mask of
255.255.255.0 allows variation in the last position only. (The
first three positions are fixed. The last position can be any
value between 1 and 255.) Larger organizations may have
masks of 255.255.0.0 -- the first two positions are static and
the last two positions are variable. If the IP Address is set
automatically, this mask may also be defined automatically.
Boot Method
This is the method the wireless print server uses to obtain
an IP address. This can be set to Auto, DHCP, BOOTP,
RARP, or Static. Auto will try DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, and
then set to Static if the IP Address isn't set automatically by
the other methods. If your network uses Static configuration,
it will be necessary to set the Boot Method to Static and the
IP to a particular address.
Gateway (or
Router)
The Gateway or Router allows connections between different
subnets. For example, if a corporation has separate subnets
for the Hardware Department, the Software Department, and
the Testing Department, they will need a Gateway between
subnets to allow the separate groups to communicate.
RF Channel
The RF Channel is the wireless channel the print server
uses to communicate. The print server will be able to
automatically configure itself in most cases, but you might
need to manually set it to the same RF channel as the
802.11b wireless network. This value must match for all
nodes on a network to communicate with each other.
MAC
Address
This series of six numbers, separated by periods, defines
the Ethernet address of the Server. For the print servers, the
MAC Address is set during manufacturing and will not
change. (This should avoid problems caused by multiple
devices on an Ethernet network with the same address.)
4-4 Troubleshooting
Data Rate
This is the throughput speed in Mbps of the wireless
Ethernet connection (1, 2, 5.5, or 11). In most cases with an
802.11b wireless network, it should be set to 11 Mbps. The
Data Rate usually does not need setting as it will
automatically negotiate to the highest possible rate.
SSID
This is the Service Set Identifier (Sometimes referred as
Network Name or ESSID). This value must match for all
nodes on a subnetwork to communicate with each other.
Wireless
Mode
Ad-Hoc (sometimes referred to as Peer-to-Peer, Computerto-Computer, 802.11 Ad-Hoc, or IBSS compliant Ad-Hoc)
modes are used when your wireless enabled PC is printing
straight to the printer.
Infrastructure mode is used when you have an Access point
or base station as the hub of your wireless network.
Pseudo Ad-Hoc is only used for testing and some older
802.11b implementations of Ad-Hoc. Auto mode attempts
connection with each of the other methods in turn.
NOTE: If the options on your 802.11b enabled computer are
Ad-Hoc, 802.11b Ad-Hoc, and Infrastructure, use
the following to determine the settings of the print
server:
Computer
Ad-Hoc
802.11 Ad-Hoc
Infrastructure
Print Server
Pseudo Ad-Hoc
Ad-Hoc (802.11)
Infrastructure
WEP Key
Disabled. The other Options are 64Bit WEP Key Size and
128Bit WEP Key Size. Be careful -- if one part of the
wireless network has WEP enabled, they all must have it
enabled with the same key or they cannot communicate.
WEP Key
Index
This is which WEP key you want to use out of the 4 entered
in the 128 / 64 WEP Key field.
Troubleshooting 4-5
128 Bit / 64
Bit WEP Key
This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP key that must match other
nodes’ encryption keys in order to communicate: 10
characters for 64 bit, or 26 characters for 128 bit. The print
server uses a Hexadecimal value for WEP. All 802.11b
devices have a way of translating their WEP or Security
values to 10 (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP) or 26 (for 128-bit
WEP) digit HEX values. Ask the manufacturer of your
wireless product how this is done for your PC and/or Access
Point.
Loading the Firmware
Early versions of the software may have menus which differ slightly from
those listed below.
1.
Run the XAdmin32 utility from the Start menu, it should be found under
START>Programs>Troy Group>Etherwind>XAdmin32.
2.
Right-Click on the print server to be upgraded in the list, and select Load
Firmware.
3.
If you are using TCP/IP to upgrade, select TFTP PUT from this host. If
you are upgrading using IPX/SPX on a NetWare network to upgrade,
select Netware GET from a server (If you are using Netware to upgrade,
you need to put the .bin firmware file in the LOGIN directory of the
Netware server). Click OK.
4.
If you selected TFTP PUT from this host in step 3, enter the
configuration password (default is ACCESS ) and click Browse to find the
.bin firmware file you downloaded. Click Load. The firmware on your print
server will be upgraded to the new version.
If you selected Netware GET from a server in step 3, enter the
configuration password (default is ACCESS ). Enter the name of the
Netware server where you saved the .bin file as the Host Name.
Enter the name of the firmware file for File. Click OK. The firmware
on your print server will be upgraded to the new version.
