To find your router’s IP address, consult your router’s documentation. The IP Address and Subnet Mask are the same as those of any PC connected to the network. If you change the PrintServer’s IP address, make sure you that you reconnect to the PrintServer using the new IP address. Otherwise, you will not be communicating with the PrintServer. The Gateway IP Address is not necessary for using the PrintServer.

AppleTalk is a network communications protocol that allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet. Typically only Macintosh computers use AppleTalk, although other platforms can be made to use it with extra software. Enter or the zone name in the Zone Name field, select the port number from the Selected Port drop-down menu, enter the type of printer in the Printer Type field (this information can be obtained from the printer manufacturer), and then select the type of communication protocol, ASCII or Binary, that you will use for the printer, as recommended by the printer’s manufacturer.

•• NetBEUI

Configuration > NetBEUI Tab

Enter the domain name to be associated with the PrintServer in the Domain Name field. If you are unsure of the Domain Name, you can determine it by looking on any computer already on the network:

•• Windows 98: Right-click Network Neighborhood and select Properties. Under the Identification tab, the computer’s name will be listed, and the Domain to which it is connected.

•• Windows Me: Right-click My Network Places. Choose Properties from the menu that appears.

•• Windows 2000 or XP: Right-click My Network Places, choose Properties from the menu, then, right click Local Area Connection and choose Properties. The Domain name will appear. If you want the PrintServer to be connected to that same Domain, enter that Domain name here. If no Domain name exists there, use the Workgroup name from that window.

If you want, you can enter a response time in the Response Time field. This is the time in seconds that the PrintServer will wait for a response from the network before “timing out.” If you want printing to terminate whenever any error occurs, select Yes next to Abort Job if Error Occurred. If you select No, print jobs with errors will be sent to the printer, but may not print properly.

Click Get Defaults if you want to return the settings to the default settings.
