TROY Group 802.11b Microsoft Windows Network Configuration

Microsoft WindowsNetwork Configuration

The EtherWind includes the easy-to-use ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor software

for printing from Windows computers over an 802.11b wireless link. This soft-

ware creates a network port on theWindows system, which acts like a normal par-

allel port. As a result, it works transparently with any standard Windows printer

driver and application program. Because this software uses the industry-standard

TCP/IP protocol, it can be used with IP routers and other IP-based equipment.

Installing the Software

1. Install the ExtendNet Connect IP Port Monitor by inserting the EtherWind

CD, selecting Install EtherWind Utilities, then Install ExtendNet Connect

Port Monitor. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this installation.

2. Install the printer driver software according to the documentation for the printer.

3. Click the Windows Startbutton, select Settings, and then Printers.

4. Right-Click on the printer you wish to associate with the network port, and

select Properties.
