User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 13 Section 2 – Hardware Installation Before You Begin Before installing the print server, make sure you have installed and set up your printer as described in the documentation that came with the printer and that your printer functions properly. SX-200 Series Print Servers support a parallel and/or USB connection to your printer. Hardware Installation (wired and wireless versions) 1. Write down the 12-digit MAC address printed on the label located on the bottom of the print server (for example: 004017023F96). You may need this number in order to configure the print server. 2. Mount the print server on either the printer or the desktop:  Printer mount – attach the print server to a suitable location on the side or rear of your printer by applying an adhesive Velcro strip (provided in the printer mounting kit) to your printer and at the top of the print server as it is to be attached to your printer.  Desktop mount – attach the adhesive rubber feet (provided in the desktop mounting kit) to the bottom of the print server as shown below. NOTE: Be sure to review the hardware requirements in the previous section to ensure you have the necessary information before installing the print server.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 14 3. Connect the print server to your printer(s) using the USB and/or parallel port of your printer. For a USB connection, use a standard USB A (print server side) to B (printer side) cable. For a parallel connection, use an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel printer cable. 4. Plug the print server power supply adapter into a suitable AC receptacle, and then plug the power supply cable into the print server. The print server will run through a sequence of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds.  If the print server is operating properly, the power LED will illuminate continuously (refer to page 1-5 for detailed LED status descriptions).  If the power LED blinks continuously in a regular pattern, a problem exists. If this is the case, try powering the print server OFF and then ON again.  If the problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting section in this User’s Guide. 5. Connect the print server to your network through a switch or hub using a category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable. The print server’s IP address must be configured before a network connection is available. If your network offers DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the print server will automatically search for a DCHP server upon power up and obtain an IP address. If your network does not offer DHCP, a static (fixed) IP address must be assigned (see your system administrator for assistance). In most cases, a fixed IP address is preferred because a DHCP server may not always assign the same IP address to the print server when the print server is powered ON. NOTE: The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC. NOTE: For wireless print servers, if a wired connection is established to the unit, the wireless link will be disabled.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 15 Verifying the Connection to the Printer 1. Verify that both the print server and the printer are powered on and ready, and that a USB or parallel printer cable is properly connected between the print server and printer. 2. Print a test page by pressing the Test button once. If the connection is good, a test page will print on the printer. If nothing prints out, make sure that the printer cable is properly connected, your printer is on line, and that no error conditions exist with the printer (off line, paper jam, out of toner, etc.). NOTE: Before attempting to print, it is very important to verify the connection between the print server and printer. If this connection is not working, you will not be able to print! NOTE: The test page will only work with printers that can directly print PCL, PostScript, or text. It will not work with some "Windows" printers like the HP DeskJet 820 (which performs the image rasterization in the PC), nor will it work with HP-GL/2 or RTL plotters (unless the PostScript option is installed). For such devices, you must print a job from an appropriate application program in order to test the print server-to-printer connection.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 16 Section 3 – Configuration and Management Configuration Options SX-200 Series Print Servers (wired and wireless models) can be configured using a variety of options, some of which do not require any software installation on the host PC. The print server can be configured and managed via an Ethernet or wireless connection using the ExtendView Utility (recommended), the embedded web (HTTP) server pages, or the print server’s internal configuration console, which can be accessed via a Telnet connection. If you choose to use the silex ExtendView Utility (provided on the Print Server Installation CD), the software must be installed prior to use. Additional options for print server configuration and management are available as third-party utilities that can be downloaded from their respective web sites. If you are using a wireless print server, you can still configure it via an Ethernet connection or optionally configure it via a wireless connection. ExtendView Utility  used for advanced print server configuration, and allows you to configure for TCP/IP, Netware, AppleTalk, and the wireless settings (for wireless print server models only).  uses a 32-bit graphical user interface.  works with Windows PCs running the TCP/IP protocol.  included on the Print Server installation CD.  can be downloaded from the silex web sites: USA: http://www.silexamerica.com  after installation, this utility can be run from the START menu.

User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 18 Configuring the Print Server via an Ethernet Connection For Microsoft Windows operating systems, the ExtendView Utility (provided on the Print Server Installation CD) is the recommended method of configuring one or more print servers on your network. Once the print server obtains an IP address (occurs automatically when the unit is powered ON and connected to a DHCP network), the ExtendView Utility’s auto-discovery feature will search for and locate all print servers on the network and then display the IP address for each discovered print server. For non-Windows operating systems such as Macintosh or Unix systems, a standard web browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla) can be used to access the configuration settings of the print server (refer to the next page, “Using the Web Browser Interface” instructions). No additional software is required. USING THE EXTENDVIEW UTILITY TO CONFIGURE THE PRINT SEVER (WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS): 1. Start the ExtendView Utility from the START Menu. 2. When the Welcome screen appears, click on Next, choose any name for your View Name, select Automatically create a view with default settings, and then click on Finish. 3. Double-click on the print server that you want to use from the list. The default print server name is SLXxxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the MAC address from the label located on the back of the print server). 4. If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows) and you do not have a DHCP server (see note below), you will need to manually assign a valid IP Address (if you are not sure what IP address is valid, ask your network administrator), and then click on OK. 5. Configure the 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g wireless settings (wireless print servers only). To operate on a wireless network, you must select your country or region from the drop-down list. This field designates the region of operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the print server in a country/region other than the country/region shown in the drop-down list. You must also set the wireless mode (ad-hoc or infrastructure), SSID channel, and WEP encryption of the wireless print server to the same configuration as the wireless network you want the print server to communicate on. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the same settings in order to communicate with each other.  wireless mode (ad-hoc or infrastructure)  SSID channel  wireless security settings More information can be found in the Wireless Security Configuration Section at the end of this manual. NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server should have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is necessary. However, for most installations, a static IP address is preferred. If your DHCP server does not allow the print server to keep its assigned IP address permanently, then you must manually assign an IP address. In this case, use a static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP server documentation for details). To assign a static IP address, right-click on the print server in the menu, and then select Configuration. On the TCP/IP tab, under IP Address Resolution, select Set Permanent, and assign a valid static IP address for your network. Click on OK to save the new settings. NOTE: It may not be legal to operate the print server in a country or region other than the country or region shown in the drop-down list. If your country or region is not listed, please check with your local government agency.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 19 USING THE WEB BROWSER INTERFACE TO CONFIGURE THE PRINT SERVER (NON-WINDOWS SYSTEMS): To configure the print server using non-Windows operating systems (e.g., Unix systems), a standard web browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) can be used to access the print server’s embedded Web (HTTP) server pages, which contain the print server’s configuration options. No additional software is required. 1. Ensure your PC is connected and has access to your network. 2. Connect an available Ethernet cable from your network hub to the print server. Ensure the print server is powered ON. 3. With your printer and print server switched on and ready, press the test button on the print server to print a test page. The test page will display the current IP address assigned to the print server by your network DHCP service. If your network does not use DHCP, then the print server will have the default IP address of 192.0.0.192. In any case, your computer must use an IP address other than the one used by the print server in order to establish a connection between the two devices. 4. Configure the 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g wireless settings (wireless print servers only). To operate on a wireless network, you must select your country or region from the drop-down list. This field designates the region of operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the print server in a country/region other than the country/region shown in the drop-down list. You must also set the wireless mode (ad-hoc or infrastructure), SSID channel, and WEP encryption of the wireless print server to the same configuration as the wireless network you want the print server to communicate on. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the same settings in order to communicate with each other. 5. From the host computer, open a standard web browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), enter the IP address of the print server into the address bar of the web browser, and then press Enter. The Web Browser Utility will be displayed, allowing you to configure the print server. The menu selections are displayed on the left side of the screen, and the individual settings are located at the top of the screen.

Document #40181-120 Rev. A 22 Macintosh Print Queue Configuration Silex Print Servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This capability allows Macintosh computers to print jobs to a printer simultaneously with jobs from Windows, UNIX, NetWare, and other computers. silex print server AppleTalk capabilities allow a printer to appear as a shareable printer node on an AppleTalk Phase 2 network. The print server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the network, and automatically appears in the Print Center or Chooser of each Macintosh. Application programs (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PageMaker, etc.) can print without modification or special software on the Macintosh. MACINTOSH CONFIGURATION (OS 8.X AND 9.X): Identify the printer to which the print server is connected, and install the printer driver. 1. Verify that Ethernet is enabled from the Network Control Panel or AppleTalk Control Panel. 2. At a Macintosh workstation, from the Apple menu, open the Chooser. 3. If the Chooser window displays an AppleTalk zone list, select the necessary zone. Click on the icon for the printer driver you are going to use. If you have a Postscript printer, you can use the LaserWriter driver. 4. Select the print server name (the default is SLXxxxxxx_P1_AT, where "xxxxxx" are the last six digits of the Ethernet address.). 5. Close the Chooser. You can now print to the printer using any standard Macintosh application program. NOTE: silex Print Servers are also compatible with the Macintosh TCP/IP Printer option in the Print Center as long as you have a valid IP Address configured (refer to the section “Configuring your print server”). Enter the IP Address of the print server for the “Printer’s Address”, and make sure the “Use default queue on server” option is checked, and select your correct “Printer Model”.

User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 24 Section 4 – Troubleshooting Introduction This section describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the print server, and is divided into the following sections:  Installation Problems  Intermittent Problems  Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting If you have followed the steps in this section and you believe that you have a defective print server, then please refer to Section 5 – Where to Get Help for information on returning defective products. Printing Problems If you cannot print to the print server after you install it, check the following:  Make sure that the printer is powered on and is on-line, and that all cables are securely plugged in. If the printer initializes successfully but you cannot print, the problem could be one of the following:  There is a problem with the interface between the print server and the printer.  There is a problem with the network connection or cabling.  There is a queue setup problem, a print server setup problem, or other protocol-related problem. Checking the Interface between the Print Server and the Printer: 1. Ensure that the print server is securely plugged into the printer. 2. After the printer is powered ON, wait until the printer initializes, and then print a self-test page by pushing the Test button on the back of the print server for approximately one second.  If the self-test does not print, then there is possibly a hardware problem. Double-check the connections. If you still cannot print, then make sure that your printer is capable of printing text, PCL or PostScript (the self-test will not work unless one of these is supported). The only way to test such printers is to use an application program with the correct printer drivers.  The following are some examples of printers that do not support direct printing of text files:  Some Windows printers (usually low-end inkjet printers) perform all the image rasterization in the printer driver, so the printer only understands a raw image file.  Many plotters only support HP-GL/2, RTL, or proprietary languages.  If you are getting distorted printouts, try printing using the generic/text printer driver. NOTE: Pushing the Test button for more than five seconds will restore the factory default configuration settings.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 25 If the self-test page prints successfully but you cannot print a job or you get distorted printouts, make sure the printer is set for the correct Page Description Language. Most new printers support AUTO mode, which means that they will automatically switch between PCL and PostScript. However, older printers like the LaserJet II, LaserJet III, and LaserJet IIISi require that the printer be set to the desired language through the printer control panel. Also, verify that you have set up the drivers correctly on the workstation. Some printers, like the Epson Stylus, require special drivers and will not print if standard PCL or PostScript drivers are used. Checking the Network Connection and Cabling: If the self-test page prints but you cannot print documents, first check the network connection and cabling.  If the appropriate LEDs are not on, there is probably a bad 10baseT or 100baseTX cable, or the hub port is bad. If possible, try a different cable and hub port, or try connecting a different device to the cable.  If you are using a hub, verify that the hub port is good by trying the print server on a different port.  If you have a bridge or router located between the print server and the host computer, make sure that the device is set up to allow the print server to send and receive data from the host. For example, a bridge can be set up to only allow certain types of Ethernet addresses to pass through (a process known as filtering); therefore, such a bridge must be configured to allow print server addresses. Likewise, a router can be set up to pass only certain protocols, so be sure that the desired protocol can be passed through to the print server. In the case of routers, also make sure that the protocol is routable (LAT, NetBEUI, and DLC/LLC are not routable).  If the job exists in the queue but does not print, ensure that you are not trying to print a text job to a PostScript printer. If you have a printer that is capable of automatic language switching, ensure that the printer is not forced into PostScript mode.  Make sure that you are not trying to perform an illegal operation, such as attempting to print a legal-size form when the printer only supports 8.5" x 11" paper. Troubleshooting Windows Problems If you are having trouble printing with Windows, ensure you can ping the print server using the DOS command PING ipaddress, where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. If you cannot ping the print server, you will not be able to print.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 26 Troubleshooting Network Configuration Problems  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 that the print server’s IP address can change. Either configure your DHCP server to give the print server a permanent lease, or configure the print server to be on a STATIC address outside the scope of DHCP addresses.  The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP addresses. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server (via the self-test page or through the remote console) and make sure that no other nodes on the network have this address (duplicate addresses are the biggest cause of TCP/IP printing problems). If the address is not correct, then verify that the loading procedure was properly executed.  Also verify that the host computer and the print server are either on the same subnet (for example, if the print server has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the host must have the same subnet mask) or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.  If the wrong IP address is loaded, check your network for file servers that have DHCP, BOOTP, or rarp enabled, and make sure that these file servers are not set up to load IP addresses into the print server.
User’s Guide Document #40181-420 Rev. A 27 Troubleshooting Wireless Configuration Problems  Make sure your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point is configured properly and note the settings, paying special attention to the wireless mode, SSID or network name, WEP or security, and IP address settings so you can configure your print server to the same wireless settings.  Make sure the radio mode is configured properly for 802.11a or 802.11g if auto mode is not connecting properly.  Make sure you have a good wireless signal from your PC and from the print server, that the print server is within range (90 meters or 300 feet), and that it is away from metal objects and other devices that generate radio signals (like Bluetooth, Cordless Phones, and Microwave ovens).  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 print server without an access point. See the documentation for your wireless adapter for details.  If you want to use WEP encryption or password protection for 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).  If you are using ad-hoc (peer to peer) mode and are experiencing slow performance or are having intermittent problems connecting, try changing the RF channel of your wireless network. Refer to your wireless adapter and/or access point documentation for more information. It is recommended that you change the RF channel to at least three channels lower or higher than any other wireless networks within range. The RF channel can be changed via the ExtendView Utility or the Web Browser Configuration Utility for the print server.

User’s Guide Document #40182-420 Rev. A 37 Command console access information silex servers support a sophisticated command-line oriented console for configuration and management. The console includes some features that are not available through other configuration methods. The console can be accessed via TELNET, the server’s serial port (if applicable), or through the ADMIN web page using the web browser interface. The general configuration procedure is the same regardless of which method is used. This document describes the console commands available from the command console for silex servers. All commands may not be applicable towards your product. The general configuration procedure is the same, regardless of which method is used. Telnet Command Console Access To connect to the print server using TELNET on UNIX, Windows, or most other TCP/IP systems, type the following command at the command prompt: TELNET ipaddress Where ipaddress is the IP address of the silex server. When you are connected, press RETURN or ENTER to get the "#" prompt, enter the password (ACESS is the default, it will not echo on your screen as you type), Hit ENTER until you get the Local> prompt. You are now ready to enter commands. Serial Port Command Console Access Attach a null modem serial cable to the DB9 serial port of the print server, and the other side to the COM port on your computer. Start a terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal on Windows systems). Make sure you are connecting with the relevant COM port on from your PC and use the following settings for the connection: BITS PER SECOND: 115200 DATA BITS: 8 PARITY: NONE STOP BITS: 1 FLOW CONTROL: NONE Once connected, hit ENTER until you get a Local> prompt.

User’s Guide Document #40182-420 Rev. A 72 Wireless Security Configuration silex products support various methods of authentication and encryption to ensure compatibility with wireless security depoyments. This document describes how to configure wireless security on silex print servers and device servers. silex offers a variety of ways to configure the security parameters, including the ExtendView utility for Windows systems, a built-in web browser interface, and a command line console (described at the end of this document). ExtendView Note: You must be using ExtendView version 2.4 or later in order to configure wireless security settings. Install the ExtendView utility (found on the installation CD or at www.silexamerica.com). Select the product you want to configure from the list, click Server, and then Configuration and follow these steps for configuration: 1. Click on the Wireless tab. 2. Select Infrastructure for the Wireless mode and type in the correct SSID. 3. Click Configure Wireless Security. Web Browser Interface Open any web browser from your PC (eg: Internet Explorer or Firefox) and type the IP Address of the print server for the Address. Click Login from the main menu in the left frame, and type in the password (default is ACCESS) and follow these steps for configuration: 1. Click on Wireless from the main menu in the left frame. 2. Select Infrastructure for the Wireless mode and type in the correct SSID. 3. Click Submit. 4. On the Configure Wireless screen, click on Configure Network Security. Web Browser Interface and ExtendView Security Configuration You should now be able to enter the security settings whether you are in ExtendView or the web browser interface. See below for detail on each field in the form. Help is also available within the ExtendView utility or the web browser. If you are using ExtendView, click OK when you are done for the settings to take effect. If you are using the web browser interface, click submit when you are done, and click the link in the lower right frame to reset it and have the settings take effect. Encryption Mode Select the desired encryption mode for the wireless link: • 64 and 128 bit WEP are for basic security compatibility • Dynamic WEP is displayed if an EAP (802.1x) method which automatically sets keys is selected as the authentication type.
User’s Guide Document #40182-420 Rev. A 73 • WPA uses TKIP encryption. • WPA2 uses CCMP encryption. • WPA2-WPA uses CCMP for pair-wise encryption, but allows TKIP for group encryption. Key Selection If WEP encryption is selected, and the authentication mode is not an EAP (802.1x) mode, select the desired WEP key to be used, one through four. WEP Key These fields are ignored unless the encryption mode is 64 or 128 bit WEP. Enter up to 10 hexadecimal digits for 64 bit WEP, or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128 bit WEP. Authentication Type Choose type of authentication to be performed with the network access point, or with a peer unit in Ad-hoc mode. User ID Enter the logon user ID that the server uses to authenticate to the 802.1x-enabled network. The user ID and password must be in the authentication server database, and is used in TTLS, LEAP, and PEAP configurations. The default user ID is 'anonymous'. A realm defines a grouping of users. If a realm is required for your network, it is separated from the user ID by a '@' character. Realms make it easier to segregate user groups into independently administered databases, to apply policies on a user group basis, and to establish roaming agreements to name a few applications. The default realm if not specified is 'anonymous'. Realm is used with TTLS configurations, and sometimes with PEAP. Password Enter the logon password that the server uses to authenticate to the 802.1x enabled network. The user ID and password must be in the authentication server database, and is used in TTLS, LEAP, and PEAP configurations. The password may be a text string, or a string of hex bytes prefixed with '\x'. The default password is 'anonymous'. Certificate Common Name Enter the name of the certificate on the primary authentication server. If both of the common names are set to null, all certificates are accepted. The default is null. Certificate common name is used in TTLS and PEAP configurations. Certificate Root Key Enter the authentication key used to verify the root certificate in the certificate chain provided by the authentication server. To set to null, leave this field blank. Certificate Root Key is used in TTLS and PEAP configurations. The Certificate Root Key can be extracted by clicking Browse and selecting the actual certificate if you don’t want to type it in manually. Certificate Root Key Exponent This value must match the authentication server certificate value. The default is 65537 (x10001). Certificate Root Key Exponent is used in TTLS and PEAP configurations. The Certificate Root Key Exponent can be extracted by clicking Browse and selecting the actual certificate if you don’t want to type it in manually. Authentication Protocol This field determines how the server authenticates itself to the 802.1x enabled network after an 802.1x session is established. The default is PAP. Sometimes referred to as inner-authentication protocol, it is used in TTLS and PEAP configurations. Pre-Shared Key If the PSK mode of authentication is selected with WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (CCMP) encryption, the key value or pass-phrase entered here is used to initialize the session with the access point. If a key value is entered, it must be exactly 64 hex characters. A pass-phrase must be 8 to 63 displayable characters.
User’s Guide Document #40182-420 Rev. A 74 WPA Auto Associate If the WPA Auto Associate mode is enabled, then if there are no WPA enabled access points available with the given SSID, the unit will attempt to associate with a non-WPA access point with the given SSID, if available. The authentication mode will still have to match. For WPA-EAP, the non-WPA AP will have to be configured for EAP authentication, and for WPA-PSK mode, the non-WPA AP will have to be in open system mode. The default is disabled. WPA Group Key If the WPA Group Key mode is enabled, then group keys may be used for data link encryption. The default is disabled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command Line Console Configuration Go to the command prompt on your PC and type TELNET ipaddress (where ipaddress is the IP Address configured in the print server). You should get a # prompt, type in the password (default is ACCESS, this will not echo on your screen as you type it). Hit Enter a couple times until you get a Local> prompt. This is where you can type your commands. Type HELP to get a list of commands. The following console commands can be used to configure your network security settings: SH NW Displays summary network information sample output: WiFi Mode = INFRASTRUCTURE WiFi SSID: silex Speed = 11 Regulatory Domain = 704 WiFi FW Ver = 1F 1.7.1 AP density = LOW TTLS is Disabled WEP is Disabled Link DOWN SET NW AUTHtype Sets WLAN Authentication type SET NW AUTHtype [OPEN |SHARED | TLS | TTLS | LEAP | PEAP | PSK] (default = Open System) SH NW AUTH Shows the wireless authentication type sample output: Authentication type= OPEN SYSTEM SET NW CHannel Sets WLAN ad-hoc channel number
