Chapter 7: Advanced Properties

The Advanced Properties section of the Web-based Utility is for users who have a thorough understanding of networks and network settings. Changing these settings can cause interruption of network communication and make the PrintServer cease to function properly. To access the Advanced Properties, click the Advanced tab in the Web-based Utility.

The AppleTalk Page

Figure 7-1

AppleTalk is a network communications protocol that allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet. Typically only Macintoshes use AppleTalk, although other platforms can be made to use it with extra software.

AppleTalk Zones (if available) can be seen in the Chooser, the AppleTalk Control Panel, and the Network Browser. Once you have determined the AppleTalk Zone that you want the PrintServer to be associated with, enter its name in the field next to AppleTalk zone.

The Printer Object type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer. For each printer connected to the PrintServer, you will choose the Communications Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communi- cate. Choose either ASCII or Binary for each printer, according to the recom- mendation of the printer’s manufacturer.

If you make any mistakes prior to saving, you can simply hit the Cancel button to exit the screen without making any changes. Once you are certain of any changes you have made, click the Save button to implement the changes.

Note: Linksys does not support its products in an Apple networking environment. If you encounter trouble, consult your printer documen- tation for possible help with settings.
