Instant EtherFast® Series

Enabling and Disabling Protocols

If you are not using multiple protocols on your network, you may want to dis- able one or more of the PrintServer’s internal protocols; this may help reduce unwanted network traffic.

Important: Always leave at least one protocol enabled on the PrintServer. Disabling all protocols could leave you without a way to communicate with the unit. Unless you require TCP/IP to be disabled, leave it alone.

To disable one of the PrintServer's protocols, click the Device Name of the PrintServer you want to change. Then, click the Configuration button and select System. The System Configuration window will appear. Each protocol is listed, along with Enable and Disable buttons. Enable or disable the proto- cols you want, then click the Save to Device button to save the changes.

Attaching Bi-Admin to a Remote PrintServer

The Bi-Admin program can locate Linksys PrintServers on networks other than your own, given your network is running TCP/IP across a WAN or other net- work-to-network link via a router. To attach Bi-Admin to a remote Linksys PrintServer located on a remote network, click on Init Device and select Attach. The Add Cross Segment PrintServer window will appear. Enter the IP address of the remote unit and click the Set button. The remote PrintServer will appear in the list of available PrintServers, allowing you to configure it.

Resetting the PrintServer

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

Restoring Factory Default

If you have made irreversible changes in configuration that have rendered the PrintServer unusable, or if you simply want to start over from scratch, you can set the PrintServer back to the default mode so that the device will operate just as it did when you purchased it. Click Init Device and select Restore Factory Default.

Important: Restoring Factory Default will change ALL set- tings back to their original, default values.
