The software works with Microsoft  Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, and
Vista™ operating systems.
Follow these steps to install the NetManager software and configure the print
server. You can also download the utility from our Web site.
1. Insert the Monarch® Sierra Sport2™ 9460™ Documentation CD-ROM
(TC9460SWP) into your computer.
2. Select the Monarch NetMgr folder, then select Setup.exe.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the utility. When
NetManager starts for the first time, you see the NetManager Welcome
screen. You are prompted to enter a View Name (sets up how print
servers are discovered and displayed on your network). Then, select the
protocol and filter settings or “Automatically create a view with default
settings.”
4. Select Finish to begin searching for print servers. NetManager gets the
information from the print server(s) and lists the server name, IP
address, and hardware (Ethernet) address. The default name of the
print server is PXRxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the
hardware address (for example, PXR08B2C7).
Note: It might take a minute or two for the print server to appear,
especially on a large wireless network.
5. When you see the print server you need to configure in the list, highlight
it and click the Configuration tool.
Note: A wireless signal of less than 50% on the Wireless Status screen,
could affect printing performance. To improve the signal strength,
move the print server closer to the computer or access point and
away from other radio devices such as Bluetooth® wireless devices,
microwave ovens, or 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones.
6. Configure your print server to the settings you need. Many of the fields
are automatically configured to match the network being used, so you
may not need to change the Wireless Mode, RF Channel, SSID, and
Data Rate settings unless you need to change the print server to a
different wireless network.
