Features

Congratulations on the purchase of your new TEW-P1U1P Wireless Print Server. Your Wireless Print Server was designed to provide a simple and efficient network printing solution. It is packed with features, including:

Versatility. The Wireless Print Server supports up to four protocols: TCP/IP, SMB (Service Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and NetBEUI. It features one or two Ethernet interface ports and operating system support includes Unix, NetWare (NDPS LPR printing), and Microsoft Windows.

Easy Installation. The Wireless Print Server makes adding printers or plotters to your network simple. The auto-sensing feature on the LAN interface means that there is no need to set jumpers or perform software configuration to select the network interface used.

Easy Setup. A number of utility programs are supplied to simplify setup. For Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP users, the BiAdmin program makes it easy to configure the Wireless Print Server for a variety of network and server configurations.

Web-based Interface. The Web-based interface provides an easy method of configuration in TCP/IP networks to every model.

Compact Size. This allows the Wireless Print Server to be used even where space is limited.

Remote Management Tools. A variety of software tools are provided. In most environments, both the Wireless Print Server and attached bi-directional printers can be configured remotely.

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Support. The Wireless Print Server can act as an IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Server, allowing clients, suppliers, colleagues and others to print to your printer from anywhere on the Internet. Windows IPP Client software is also supplied.

Wireless LAN Support. Wireless stations supporting the IEEE 802.11b standard can interoperate with the Wireless Print Server. Both LAN and WLAN users can print to the attached printer.
