Preparing to Install

Configuring the print server is the process of setting it up to work with your network. This process begins immediately after you install the software, so it’s important to make sure your print server and printer are set up before you start installing. You also need to check that your wireless network adapter(s) and/or access point are installed and ready.

Your EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server CD-ROM includes the following software:

■WP-Admin

This utility lets you configure the print server for most network protocols. For most networks, it is the only configuration utility you need to install.

■EpsonNet Direct Print

This software, which sets up a network printer port, must be installed on every Windows Me, 98, or 95 computer that uses the printer.

■XAdmin32

This utility lets you configure the print server for a Novell® NetWare network and perform more advanced configuration for other protocols.

Your print server also comes with a built-in web-based configuration utility, which enables you to change configuration settings from any computer on the wireless network that supports a standard web browser. You must configure the print server using WP-Admin or XAdmin32 before you can use this utility.

To use the print server’s web-based configuration utility,

start your web browser and enter the print server’s IP address. For more information about the web-based utility and XAdmin32, visit EPSON’s web site at support.epson.com. XAdmin32 also provides on-screen help.
