Wireless PrintServer

Bi-Admin: PrintServer Management

Overview

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.

Bi-Admin is a Windows-based program. So if you are using the Wireless PrintServer in a NetWare DOS-only environment, you must use a program other than Bi-Admin to manage the Wireless PrintServer.

Installing the Bi-Admin Management Utility

The Bi-Admin Management Utility should have been installed when the Setup CD was first inserted. If, however, you need to install it again, simply follow these directions.

1.Insert the Wireless PrintServer’s Setup CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2.When the autorun screen appears, click the Install tab.

3.Click the Next button on the following screen. When asked for a destina- tion folder, either click the Next button to choose the default location or click the Browse button to select a new location

4.The Bi-Admin Management Utility will now be installed.

Starting the Bi-Admin Management Utility

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