This opens a window with different tabs for the various configuration options. The different tabs are System, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, NetBEUI, Port, and Wireless.
System
Within this screen, you can change the following:
Device Name
Device Password: To change the password for the print server, select Change Device Password and enter the new password in the Password and Confirm Password boxes.
Protocol: You can select to Enable or Disable the network protocols that the selected Wireless USB Print Server uses. Disabling protocols that are not used on your LAN may improve performance.
TCP/IP
Within this tab you can configure the TCP/IP network protocol. The basic options are:
Dynamic IP Address (DHCP): Select this if you have a DHCP server on your network that can automatically assign an IP address to the Wireless USB Print Server.
Fixed IP Address: Select this if you do not have a DHCP server on your network that can automatically assign IP information. If you select this, you must manually enter the following information:
IP Address: Select an unused IP address from the address range used on your LAN.
Subnet Mask: Use the same values as other computers on your LAN.
Gateway: Use the same values as other computers on your LAN.
The Wireless USB Print Server also supports the Auto-IP function. If the Wireless USB Print Server is set to Dynamic IP Address, but there's no DHCP server found on the network, the Wireless USB Print Server will get an IP from the range of 169.254.1.1 ~ 169.254.254.254 automatically. In this case, even though the Wireless USB Print Server was initialized with an Auto-IP, it will change to DHCP whenever a DHCP server is detected. The TCP session parameters should only be changed if advised to do so by your Network Administrator.
AppleTalk
The information in this tab is only applicable to Macintosh users. Generally, no Wireless USB Print Server configuration is required in order to use AppleTalk. If you need to make any changes, you can configure the following settings:
Set the Zone Name field to determine which Apple systems can gain access to the printer connected to the Wireless USB Print Server.
The Printer Type field is used to describe the printer driver used for each port.
The Communication Protocol can be set to either ASCII or Binary. This must match the setting on the Apple computer systems that are using the Wireless USB Print Server.
NetBEUI
This allows you to configure the following options:
Choose the Domain Name for the selected Wireless USB Print Server.
Set how fast jobs are sent to the printer by using the Response Time field. This can be set anywhere between 0 and 255 seconds.
Set the desired option for the Abort Job if Error Occurred setting
Yes causes a print job to be terminated if a printing error occurs.
No (default) will try to continue, but may cause print errors.
Port
There are two panels within this screen: Physical Port and Logical Port.
Physical Port
The following settings can be modified for Physical Port:
Selected Physical Port: Select the Physical Printer Port you wish to configure.
Handshake Signal: Select Busy Only or Busy & Ack for the Physical Port.
Printer Type: Select High Speed or Low Speed for the Printer Type.
Logical Port
Logical Ports (printers) can be used in the Unix environment. The following settings can be modified:
Selected Logical Port: Select the Logical Printer Port you wish to configure.
Map to Physical Port: Select the physical Printer Port that the Logical printer will use.
Convert LF to LF+CR: If checked, LF (line feed) characters are changed to CR+LF (carriage return + line feed).
Prefix of Job: The printer control string to be sent to the printer before each print job. This string cannot exceed hexadecimal 15 characters.
Suffix of Job: The printer control string to be sent to the printer after each print job. This string cannot exceed hexadecimal 15 characters.
The Get Defaults button will reset all the configuration settings to their factory-default values.
Wireless
In this area you can select or enter the following information for your wireless connection:
Region or Domain: Your choices are USA, Canada, Europe/Australia, and Japan. If it is not already selected, you should select the region where you will be using the Wireless USB Print Server. Depending on the region you select and the regulatory restrictions for that region, the selected Domain will affect what channels are available to transmit on wirelessly.
SSID: The SSID is also known as the Network Name of your wireless router or access point. You will need to enter the SSID of the wireless router or access point to which you will be connecting the Wireless USB Print Server. If you do not enter the correct SSID, you will not be able to connect to your wireless router or access point.
Channel No.: The available channels will be affected by the Network Type you have selected. If you are in Infrastructure mode, you will only see Auto as an option. If you are in Ad Hoc mode, you can select a specific channel that your wireless network is transmitting on and that is within the acceptable range for your region.
Network Type: This is the type of wireless network to which you will be connecting. You can select either Infrastructure or Ad Hoc. If you use a wireless router or access point in your wireless network, you need to select Infrastructure. If you do not use a wireless router or access point, you need to select Ad Hoc.
Security: There are three security options: WPA-PSK, WEP, and Disable.
If you select WPA-PSK, you will need to enter the WPA Algorithm (or Encryption) and the WPA Key. TKIP is the only form of WPA Algorithm supported by the Wireless USB Print Server. You will then need to enter the WPA Key for your wireless network. Some wireless products also refer to this as a Network Key. This must be at least eight characters long.
If you select WEP, you will need to choose a form of WEP Authentication: either Open System or Shared Key. You will then need to select 64 bits Hex or 128 bits Hex , which determines the Key size. After selecting one, you will need to enter up to four keys.
Hex
64-bit
10 characters
128-bit
26 characters
You will also need to select the Default Key. This is the Key that is used for encryption. The other keys are used for decryption.
