Logical Port Configuration:
Logical Port Configuration Icon
To set or change the PrintServer’s logical port settings,
highlight the PrintServer to be changed and click on the
Logical Port icon (shown here). The Logical Port
Configuration window will appear. Make any changes to
the settings, and click the Save to Device button when you
are finished.
Upgrading the Firmware:
The Firmware Upgrade Icon
To make sure that the PrintServer is running its most current
version of firmware, upgrade the device’s ROM chip regu-
larly. To do so, you must be able to access both the Internet
and the PrintServer device from your computer. Click the
Upgrade Firmware icon and follow the instructions on the
screen. Updated Firmware can be downloaded from the
Linksys website as www.linksys.com.
Exiting Bi-Admin:
The Application Exit Icon
To exit the Bi-Admin program, click the Exit icon.
If you are not using multiple protocols on your network, you may want to dis-
able one or more of the PrintServer’s internal protocols; this may help reduce
unwanted network traffic.
To disable one of the PrintServer's protocols, click the Device Name of the
PrintServer you want to change. Then, click the Configuration button and
select System. The System Configuration window will appear. Each protocol
is listed, along with Enable and Disable buttons. Enable or disable the proto-
cols you want, then click the Save to Device button to save the changes.
The Bi-Admin program can locate Linksys PrintServers on networks other than
your own, given your network is running TCP/IP across a WAN or other net-
work-to-network link via a router. To attach Bi-Admin to a remote Linksys
PrintServer located on a remote network, click on Init Device and select
Attach. The Add Cross Segment PrintServer window will appear. Enter the
IP address of the remote unit and click the Set button. The remote PrintServer
will appear in the list of available PrintServers, allowing you to configure it.
If the PrintServer seems locked up for any reason, you can reset it from the Bi-
Admin program. To reset a PrintServer, click the Device Name of the
PrintServer you want to reset, select Init Device, and choose Reset Device.
You can also reset it by pressing the Reset button on the back of the unit, or by
unplugging its power cord.
If you have made irreversible changes in configuration that have rendered the
PrintServer unusable, or if you simply want to start over from scratch, you can
set the PrintServer back to the default mode so that the device will operate just
as it did when you purchased it. Click Init Device and select Restore Factory
Default.
Important: Always leave at least one protocol enabled on the
PrintServer. Disabling all protocols could leave you without a
way to communicate with the unit. Unless you require TCP/IP to
be disabled, leave it alone.
