Section 4: Web-Based Management

This section explains how to configure the WPS870G using your Web browser.

Overview

The WPS870G uses an HTTP server, which allows you to connect to the Wireless Print Server and configure it using your web browser. Most browsers should work, provided they support tables and forms. You use an IP address to log on to the Print Server’s Web-based Management Utility.

Preparation

Because the WPS870G supports dynamic IP address allocation using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, the WPS870G ships with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. This is not a valid IP address.

Therefore, read the following flowchart to learn what you need to do:

Use the Restore Button to print a report that includes the current IP address (press and release the Restore Button). If the IP address is not valid, then choose one of these two options:

Check your DHCP server (if you have one) and determine the IP address allocated to the WPS870G.

Use the Installation Wizard on the CD-ROM to allocate a valid IP address to the WPS870G.

If you are required to allocate an IP address for your WPS870G, refer to IP Assignment for details.
