Chapter 5: Bi-Admin: PrintServer

Management

The PrintServer is managed by a utility program called Bi-Admin on the
Wireless-Ready PrintServer’s Setup CD. Fully compatible with Windows 95,
98, Millennium, NT, 2000, and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the
Wireless-Ready PrintServer’s internal settings, check on the unit’s status, and
perform basic diagnostic tests. Note that the Bi-Admin program must be
installed only on the network administrator’s computer.

1. To start the Bi-Admin program, click on Start, Programs, Linksys,

PrintServer Bi-Admin, and then Bi-Admin. If the Bi-Admin icon has
been created, you can just double-click on it instead. You can drag the short-
cut icon onto your Desktop for easy access to the Bi-Admin program.

2. When the Bi-Admin program appears, it will ask for the Connected

Protocol. Make sure the box next to TCP/IP is checked. Click the OK but-
ton. Then the Bi-Admin program will automatically scan the network for
available Wireless-Ready PrintServer hardware. Any hardware found on the
network will appear in the Default Name, Device Name, and Printer Port
categories on the righthand side of the window, as shown in Figure 5-1. The
Default Name is the SC number located on the back or bottom of the
Wireless-Ready PrintServer unit, and it cannot be changed.

Starting the Bi-Admin Management Utility

11. The Printer Port Setup screen will appear again, displaying the printers

which are now communicating with the PrintServer. Click the Next button
to add any more printers or Close to complete the installation and config-
uration procedure.
