C2G 27477 JetLAN Print Server for Windows 98_Me_NT_2000_XP - Manual (Page 3)

Windows 98/Me Add Port Window :
Select “Other”, then “Network Print Port”, and click “OK”.
4) The print server’s Add Port box will now appear, and will scan the network for available print
servers. Print servers that are found will appear under each protocol (tab). Protocols that are not
available on your network will have a red slash through them, and the list will be empty. By default,
the computer will search for the printer server(s) on the network using the IPX/SPX protocol. If you
are not using IPX/SPX, no print server will be shown in the list, and you should choose TCP/IP or
NetBEUI instead. IPX/SPX and NetBEUI are the preferred protocols because they are the easiest to
implement. TCP/IP is more common, however, but may require some advanced knowledge to
implement.
- If you have multiple print servers on your network or a multi-port print server, you may
have more than one device shown on your list. Each print server has a unique Node ID
number on it’s back. This Node ID is shown in the list for easy identification.
- On a multi-port print server, the Node ID’s will be the same, but you will have three PID’s
(port ID’s) to choose from:
PID 1 – Parallel PID 2 – USB 1 PID 3 – USB 2
5) Click on the appropriate print server in the list and the PID that your printer is attached to (see
above). You can change the Port Name or leave as default (recommended) and click “Ok”. After
adding the port, it will show on the ports list on the printer’s properties page. Make sure to select that
port, and click on Apply. Go to the General tab, and click “Print Test Page”. If your network is
working properly your printer should print. Congratulations!
Troubleshooting
Q) I go to the TCP/IP tab, select the appropriate printer server and port, but when I go to click Ok, it is
grayed-out. What’s the problem?
A) This is a common issue. The reason is that the JetLAN does not ship with an IP address. You will need to
use the PSAdmin utility to assign an IP address to the JetLAN:
1) Open PSAdmin. It should search for and find the print server.
2) Click the Wizard icon (look like a magic wand). Select TCP/IP Wizard, click Next.
3) Use the wizard to assign an appropriate IP address, subnet, and gateway address. If you are not sure
what values to use, contact your network administrator. One way to check is to open a command
prompt and type IPCONFIG (type WINIPCFG on Windows 98/Me). Windows will show you the IP
address, subnet, and gateway your computer is currently using. IP addresses need to be unique, so for
