Configuration
This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.
Overview
The LevelOne Printer Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the
configuration required would depend upon the environment in which it is installed.
• The LevelOne Printer Server usually requires configuration, but if there's a DHCP server
on your network, then the device is just plug-and-play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is
also provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.
• PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the LevelOne Printer Server always require
configuration. See Chapter 4- Client Configuration for details.
• If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT Server/Windows
2000/Windows XP, the Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B -
Windows Server Configuration. However, it is not necessary to use a Network Server-
based queue; client PCs can print directly to the LevelOne Printer Server using the Peer-
to-peer Printing installed by the User setup option on the CD-ROM.
