PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch

To find your router’s IP address, consult your router’s
documentation. The IP Address and Subnet Mask
are the same as those of any PC connected to the
network. If you change the PrintServer’s IP address,
make sure you that you reconnect to the PrintServer
using the new IP address. Otherwise, you will not be
communicating with the PrintServer. The Gateway IP
Address is not necessary for using the PrintServer.

Click Get Defaults if you want to return the settings to

AppleTalk

Configuration > AppleTalk Tab

AppleTalk is a network communications protocol that
allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet.
Typically only Macintosh computers use AppleTalk,
although other platforms can be made to use it with
extra software. Enter or the zone name in the Zone

Name field, select the port number from the Selected

Port drop-down menu, enter the type of printer in the

Printer Type field (this information can be obtained
from the printer manufacturer), and then select the
type of communication protocol, ASCII or Binary, that
you will use for the printer, as recommended by the
printer’s manufacturer.

Click Get Defaults if you want to return the settings to
the default settings.

NetBEUI

Configuration > NetBEUI Tab

Enter the domain name to be associated with the
PrintServer in the Domain Name field. If you are unsure
of the Domain Name, you can determine it by looking
on any computer already on the network:

Windows 98: Right-click Network Neighborhood

and select Properties. Under the Identification
tab, the computer’s name will be listed, and the
Domain to which it is connected.
Windows Me: Right-click My Network Places.

Choose Properties from the menu that appears.
Windows 2000 or XP: Right-click My Network

Places, choose Properties from the menu, then,
right click Local Area Connection and choose
Properties. The Domain name will appear. If you
want the PrintServer to be connected to that
same Domain, enter that Domain name here. If
no Domain name exists there, use the Workgroup
name from that window.

If you want, you can enter a response time in the

Response Time field. This is the time in seconds that the
PrintServer will wait for a response from the network
before “timing out.” If you want printing to terminate
whenever any error occurs, select Yes next to Abort Job

if Error Occurred. If you select No, print jobs with errors
will be sent to the printer, but may not print properly.

Click Get Defaults if you want to return the settings to
the default settings.
