Exiting Bi-Admin:
The Application Exit Icon
To exit the Bi-Admin program, just click on the Exit icon.
Configuring Wireless Settings:
The Wireless Icon
To configure the wireless settings, just click on the
Wireless icon. The Wireless Configuration screen will
appear. Settings include SSID, Channel Number, Network
Type, and WEP encryption options. Make any changes to
the settings, and click on Save to Device when you are fin-
ished.
The PrintServer’s IP address can be easily changed at any time. Click once on
the Device Name of the Wireless-Ready PrintServer whose address you want
to change, and then click on Init Device and Set IP Address. This will bring
up the Set IP Address window. By default, the PrintServer has DHCP enabled.
If the Default Name field is empty, enter the PrintServer’s SC number, which
you copied from the PrintServer’s bar code sticker. Enter the new IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address (optional) for the PrintServer, and then
click Set. The new settings will be written to the PrintServer unit.
Also, if you have a DHCP server, you can enable DHCP and leave all the IP,
Gateway, and Subnet values on zero. See Chapter 9: DHCP Support for the
Wireless-Ready USB PrintServer for more information.
Refreshing the Device List:
The Refresh Icon
To force Bi-Admin to refresh its list of PrintServers on the
network, click Refresh, and Bi-Admin will scan the net-
work for available PrintServers to update the Default
Names, Device Names, and Printer Port charts.
Checking the Status of a Printer Port:
Printer Status Icon
The Printer Port icon let you check the name, status, and
printing details of each printer attached to the PrintServer.
A password may be required to access this information. You
may be able to configure some printers’ settings within the
Printer Status window.
The PrintServer only shows as many parallel port icons as it has ports. For
example, with this model, only two parallel port icons will show. Because
Wireless-Ready USB PrintServers do not support serial printing,, the serial
port icon will always remain gray and inaccessible.
Logical Port Configuration:
Logical Port Configuration Icon
To set or change the PrintServer’s logical port settings,
highlight the PrintServer to be changed, and click on the
Logical Port icon (shown in Figure 5-5). The Logical Port
Configuration screen will appear. Make any changes to the
settings, and click on Save to Device when you are fin-
ished.
Upgrading the Firmware:
The Firmware Upgrade Icon
To make sure that the PrintServer is running its most cur-
rent version of firmware, upgrade the device’s ROM chip
regularly. To do so, you must be able to access the
PrintServer device from your computer. Click on the
Upgrade Firmware icon and follow the instructions on the
screen.
