Unix Systems

Overview

C

Your Wireless LevelOne Printer Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all common Unix systems.

You must configure both the Wireless LevelOne Printer Server itself and your Unix system, as described in the following sections.

LevelOne Printer Server IP Address Configuration

Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the LevelOne Printer Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.

Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:

Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the LevelOne Printer Server.

Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to the LevelOne Printer Server, then restart the LevelOne Printer Server.

Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard or BiAdmin utility to allocate a valid IP Address to the LevelOne Printer Server.

Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server with the desired IP address, as follows:

arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx

Where:

IP_Address is the IP Address you wish to assign to the LevelOne Printer Server. 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server.

Example

arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56

You should then assign this IP address to the LevelOne Printer Server using your Web Browser, as described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.

Note:

The hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.

Other LevelOne Printer Server Configuration

The recommended method to configure the LevelOne Printer Server is to use the Web-based interface, as described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.

Ensure that the TCP/IP settings are correct for you network.

The logical printers (e.g. L1) must be configured correctly to match your system.
