Chapter 7 Using Advanced Management Tools

This chapter describes in more detail the two print server management programs bundled with NETGEAR PS100 series print servers. These programs are included on the Print Server Resource CD. The two programs described in this chapter are:

•NETGEAR Print Server Administration Program

This software program is a print server administration program based on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. It runs on any of the four protocols that the print server supports.

•IPSetup

This program is to the IP address of the Print Server manually from Microsoft Windows.

•Click on the icon for the Print Server Administration program
