Attaching Bi-Admin to a Remote Wireless PrintServer

Enter the IP address of the remote unit, then click Set. The remote Wireless PrintServer will appear in the list of available PrintServers, allowing you to configure it.

Resetting the Wireless PrintServer

If the Wireless PrintServer seems locked up for any reason, you can reset it from the Bi-Admin program. To reset a Wireless PrintServer, click once on the Device Name of the Wireless PrintServer you want to reset, followed by Init Device, then Reset Device. You can also reset it by pressing the Reset button on the back of the unit, or by unplugging its power cord.
