Step Two: Configure the Wireless USB Print Server
Verify you are logged on to your computer as an administrator. You must be logged on as an administrator to ensure the software will be properly installed.
Insert the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM.
Click Setup Wizard and then click Next.
The Wireless USB Print Server will be shown in the list. Select the print server in the list and click Next. If it does not appear in the list, check your physical connections and click Refresh.
You can change the Device Name, if you want, and enter a Domain Name. When finished, click Next.
If you have connected the Wireless USB Print Server to a network device that has DHCP capabilities, you can select Obtain IP Address automatically. If your network device does not have DHCP capabilities, you can select Fixed IP Address and add the IP address information. When finished, click Next.
Next you can select the Region or Domain where you will be using the Wireless USB Print Server.
You can then select your Network Type as either Infrastructure or Ad Hoc, depending on if you are using a wireless router or access point or not in your wireless network.
Note: The Wireless USB Print Server is initially set in Infrastructure mode, which is used to connect to an wireless router or access point. If you will be establishing a connection to other wireless clients without using a wireless router or access point, select Ad-hoc as the Network type.
In the SSID field, you should enter the SSID of the wireless router or access point to which you will be connecting the wireless print server. If you selected Ad Hoc for your Network Type, you can select a specific Channel on which to broadcast. If you selected Infrastructure, Auto is the only channel option. For Security, you can select either Disable, WEP, or WPA-PSK, depending on how you have your wireless network set up.
Note: The only security that the print server supports is WEP or WPA-PSK. You may need to modify the security settings of your wireless network accordingly.
If you select WEP, you will need to select either Open System or Shared Key for your Authentication and then click Next.
You will then need to select your WEP Key Length, either 64 bit Hex, 64 bits ASCII, 12 bits Hex, or 128 bits ASCII. Click Next.
You will then need to enter your Key and select the Default Key number. Click Next when finished.

After selecting your Security type and entering any necessary information, your initial configuration is complete and you should click Finish.
You will then be prompted to install the PTP (Peer-to-Peer) driver. Click Yes and follow the on-screen instructions.
When that is completed, make sure the Configure Print Driver now checkbox is selected and click Finish.
