Network 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 the Windows 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.
