Chapter 5: Bi-Admin:

PrintServer Management

The Wireless PrintServer is managed by a utility program called Bi-Admin on
the Wireless PrintServer’s Setup CD. Fully compatible with Windows 95, 98,
Millennium, NT, 2000, and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the Wireless
PrintServer’s internal settings, check on the unit’s status, and perform basic
diagnostic tests. Note that the Bi-Admin program must only be installed on the
network administrator’s computer.

1. To start the Bi-Admin program, click on Start, Programs, Linksys

PrintServer Admin, and then Bi-Admin. If the Bi-Admin icon has been
created, you can just double-click on it instead. You can drag the shortcut
icon onto your Desktop for easy access to the Bi-Admin program.

2. When the Bi-Admin program appears, it will ask for the Connected

Protocol. Make sure the box next to TCP/IP is checked. Click the OK but-
ton. Then the Bi-Admin program will automatically scan the network for
available Wireless PrintServer hardware. Any hardware found on the net-
work will appear in the Default Name, Device Name, and Printer Port cat-
egories on the right-hand side of window. Default Name is the SC number
located on the back or bottom of the Wireless PrintServer unit, and cannot
be changed.
