Connecting a Printer to the Wireless PrintServer
1. Connect your printer to the
Wireless PrintServer’s Printer
(LPT) port with your printer cable.
Some printers, especially bi-direc-
tional models, may require special
shielded cabling. Consult your
printer’s user guide for cabling
specifications.
2. Turn on your printer.
3. Attach the antenna to the Wireless PrintServer antenna port. Orient the
antenna so that it is pointing straight up (at a 90-degree angle).
Connecting the Power
1. Plug the AC power adapter cord into the Wireless
PrintServer’s Power port.
2. Plug the AC power adapter into the electrical outlet.
3. The LAN and WLAN LEDs will light up indicating that the Wireless
PrintServer is on.
The Wireless PrintServer’s hardware installation is now complete, and
you are now ready to install the Wireless PrintServer’s software.
Using the PrintServer’s Wireless Capabilities

better) Ethernet cable from the Wireless PrintServer’s LAN Port.

Installation
Before starting the physical installation, be sure to find the Wireless
PrintServer’s Default Name first. The information for the Default Name may
be hard to access after the Wireless PrintServer is completely installed in your
network and surrounded by wires and computers.
On the bottom of the Wireless PrintServer, there is a white bar code sticker with
an SC number printed on it (example: SCA71107). This number is the
PrintServer’s Server Name, which you’ll use in the Wireless PrintServer driver
installation. Since it is written in hexadecimal form, the SC number may
include letters as well as numbers. You can also use bi-admin software to find
the SC number. For more information, see Chapter 5: Bi-Admin: PrintServer
Management.
The Wireless PrintServer does not have an ON/OFF power switch. Whenever
its power adapter is plugged into a power supply, the Wireless PrintServer is
powered on. The Wireless PrintServer can be powered on before, during, or
after your network.
Connecting the Wireless PrintServer to Your Network
1. Plug one end of a UTP Category 5 (or better)
Ethernet cable into the Wireless PrintServer’s
LAN port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable into a net-
worked hub or switch.
