Chapter 6: Bi-Admin: PrintServer Management

The PrintServer is managed by a utility program called Bi-Admin on the PrintServer CD. Fully compatible with Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT, 2000, and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the 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 comput- er. Also, Bi-Admin requires that the IPX/SPX protocol be installed initially, which you can always remove later.

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

Installing the Bi-Admin Management Utility

1.Insert the PrintServer CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2.Click the Start button and select Run. Type D:\utility\biadmin\setup in the provided field and press the Enter key.

3.When the setup program’s title screen appears, click the Next button.

4.Enter the directory name where you want the Bi-Admin program to be installed. The default directory of C:\Linksys\printserver is recommended. Click the Next button.

5.Continue with the setup program’s instructions. Setup will copy the neces- sary files to your system. Click the Finish button to complete the setup.

Starting the Bi-Admin Management Utility

1.To start the Bi-Admin program, click the Start button, select Programs, click Linksys printserver admin, and choose 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 pro- gram.
