Chapter 6: Bi-Admin:

PrintServer Management

The PrintServer is managed by a utility program called Bi-Admin on the
PrintServer CD. Fully compatible with Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT, 2000,
and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the PrintServer’s internal settings,
check on the unit’s status, and perform basic diagnostic tests. Note that the Bi-
Admin program must only be installed on the network administrator’s comput-
er. Also, Bi-Admin requires that the IPX/SPX protocol be installed initially,
which you can always remove later.

Bi-Admin is a Windows-based program, so if you are using the PrintServer in
a NetWare DOS-only environment, you must use a program other than Bi-
Admin to manage the PrintServer.

1. Insert the PrintServer CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Click

the

Start button and select Run. Type D:\utility\biadmin\setup in

the provided field and press the Enter key.

3. When the setup program’s title screen appears, click the Next button.

4. Enter the directory name where you want the Bi-Admin program to be

installed. The default directory of C:\Linksys\printserver is recommended.
Click the Next button.

5. Continue with the setup program’s instructions. Setup will copy the neces-

sary files to your system. Click the Finish button to complete the setup.

1. To start the Bi-Admin program, click the Start button, select Programs,

click Linksys printserver admin, and choose Bi-Admin. If the Bi-Admin
icon has been created, you can just double-click on it instead. You can drag
the shortcut icon onto your Desktop for easy access to the Bi-Admin pro-
gram.
