Installing the Software

Follow these steps to install the WP-Admin software and configure the print server.

1. Insert the EtherWind Wireless Configuration CD-ROM into your PC or

Macintosh.

Note:
There is also a Linux version of the WP-Admin utility available on the TROY

website (www.troygroup.com).

2. If you are using a Windows computer, click on

Install TROY EtherWind

Utilities

, then click on

Install EtherWind Configuration Utilities and

Printing Software

. If you are using a Macintosh computer, open the Mac

folder (for Mac OS 8.x or 9.x) or the Mac OS X folder.

Note:
If you are using Windows and don’t have the Java Runtime installed on your

system, you will be prompted to install it, click Continue.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the utility. When WP-Admin

starts, you will see the WP-Admin

Wireless Server Search

screen, which

will look like this:

4. Click

START

to begin searching for print servers. WP-Admin will get the

information from the print server(s) and list the Server Name and Ethernet
Address (which should correspond with the label on the back of the print serv-
er). It might take a minute or two for the print server to show up, especially if
you have a large wireless network. Note that by default the name of the
EtherWind print server is XCD_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of
the Ethernet (MAC) address (for example, XCD_08B2C7).
