Advanced Properties
The Advanced Properties section of the Web-based Utility is for users who have
a thorough understanding of networks and network settings. Changing these
settings can cause interruption of network communication and make the
Wireless PrintServer cease to function properly. To access the Advanced
Properties, click the Advanced tab in the Web-based Utility.
AppleTalk is a network communications protocol which allows computers to
talk to each other using Ethernet. Typically only Macintoshes use AppleTalk,
although other platforms can be made to use it with extra software.
AppleTalk Zones (if available) can be seen in the Chooser, the AppleTalk
Control Panel, and the Network Browser. Once you have determined the
AppleTalk Zone that you want the Wireless PrintServer to be associated with,
enter its name in the box next to AppleTalk zone.
The Printer Object type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer.
For each printer connected to the Wireless PrintServer, you will choose the
Communications Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communi-
cate. Choose either ASCII or Binary for each printer, according to the rec-
ommendation of the printer’s manufacturer.
If you make any mistakes prior to saving, you can simply hit the Cancel but-
ton, which will exit the screen without making any changes. Once you are cer-
tain of any changes you have made, click the Save button to implement the
changes.
