Configuring the Print Server via an Ethernet Connection

For Microsoft Windows operating systems, the ExtendView Utility (provided on the Print Server Installation CD) is the recommended method of configuring one or more print servers on your network. Once the print server obtains an IP address (occurs automatically when the unit is powered ON and connected to a DHCP network), the ExtendView Utility’s auto-discovery feature will search for and locate all print servers on the network and then display the IP address for each discovered print server. For non-Windows operating systems such as Macintosh or Unix systems, a standard web browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla) can be used to access the configuration settings of the print server (refer to the next page, “Using the Web Browser Interface” instructions). No additional software is required.

USING THE EXTENDVIEW UTILITY TO CONFIGURE THE PRINT SEVER (WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS):

1.Start the ExtendView Utility from the START Menu.

2.When the Welcome screen appears, click on Next, choose any name for your View Name, select Automatically create a view with default settings, and then click on Finish.

3.Double-click on the print server that you want to use from the list. The default print server name is SLXxxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the MAC address from the label located on the back of the print server).

4.If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows) and you do not have a DHCP server (see note below), you will need to manually assign a valid IP Address (if you are not sure what IP address is valid, ask your network administrator), and then click on OK.

5.Configure the 802.11b or 802.11g wireless settings (SX-215 wireless print server only). To operate on a wireless network, you must select your country or region from the drop-down list. This field designates the region of operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the print server in a country/region other than the country/region shown in the drop- down list. You must also set the wireless mode (ad-hoc or infrastructure), SSID channel, and WEP encryption of the wireless print server to the same configuration as the wireless network you want the print server to communicate on. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the same settings in order to communicate with each other.

More information can be found in the Wireless Security Configuration Section at the end of this manual.

NOTE: It may not be legal to operate the print server in a country or region other than the country or region shown in the drop-down list. If your country or region is not listed, please check with your local government agency.

NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server should have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is necessary. However, for most installations, a static IP address is preferred. If your DHCP server does not allow the print server to keep its assigned IP address permanently, then you must manually assign an IP address. In this case, use a static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP server documentation for details). To assign a static IP address, right-click on the print server in the menu, and then select Configuration. On the TCP/IP tab, under IP Address Resolution, select Set Permanent, and assign a valid static IP address for your network. Click on OK to save the new settings.
