Chapter 3: Hardware Installation

Overview

Before starting the physical installation, be sure to find the PrintServer’s Default Name first. The information may be hard to access after the PrintServer is completely installed in your network and surrounded by wires and computers.

Important: Without setting up the wireless functionality with an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card, the PrintServer will only function through your 10/100 Ethernet network. After connecting and configuring an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card, the PrintServer will be able to take advantage of wireless functionality.

Finding the Wireless-Ready USB PrintServer’s Default Name

On the bottom of the PrintServer, there is a white bar code sticker with an SC number printed on it (for example, SCA71107). This number is the PrintServer’s Default Name, which you’ll use in the PrintServer driver installa- tion. Since it is written in hexadecimal form, the SC number may include let- ters as well as numbers. You can use bi-admin software to find the default name. For more information, see Chapter 5: Bi-Admin: PrintServer Management.

EtherFast® Wireless-Ready USB PrintServer

Connecting the Wireless-Ready USB PrintServer to Your Network

The PrintServer does not have an ON/OFF power switch. Whenever its power adapter is plugged into a power supply, the PrintServer is powered on. The PrintServer can be powered on before, during, or after your network is powered on.

Important: Only use the power adapter packaged with the PrintServer. Using a different power adapter could dam- age the PrintServer.

Connecting the PrintServer to Your Network

1.Plug one end of a UTP Category 5 (or better) cable into the PrintServer’s LAN Port.

2.Connect the other end of the cable into a networked hub or switch. The dis- tance between the PrintServer and the second device should not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

3.The LAN LED will become active. If the LAN LED does not light up, see Appendix A: Troubleshooting for more information.

Connecting a Printer to the PrintServer

1.Connect your printer to the PrintServer’s USB port with your USB cable.

2.Power on your printer.

Connecting the Power

1.Plug the power adapter cord into the PrintServer’s Power port.

2.Plug the power adapter into the wall.

The PrintServer’s hardware installation is now complete, and you are now

ready to install the PrintServer’s software.
