C O N F I G U R I N G T H E 8 0 2 . 11 B / G AND IP SETTINGS 2 Configuring the Print Server To configure the print server for an 802.11b/g wireless network, you must set the wireless mode (Ad-Hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel (Ad-Hoc mode only), data rate and security. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the same settings to communicate with each other. There are several ways to configure your print server. You can send console commands using a utility such as Monarch® NetManager.
Before You Begin Configure your computer to communicate on a wireless network before you continue. To connect a device using an access point, set your computer to infrastructure mode. To connect directly to a device without an access point, set your computer to Ad-Hoc Computer-to-Computer mode, or whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate without an access point. To use Ad-Hoc mode, temporarily disable security on your access point.
Setting Up Using Direct Serial Connections 1. Disconnect the printer’s radio harness from the printer’s serial port. 2. Connect a serial cable (DB9 female to DB9 female all lines wired straight through) from the host or computer to the print server’s radio cable. Radio Cable 3. Turn on the printer and configure using Telnet or other communications program. 4. Connect the printer’s radio cable to the printer’s serial port. Radio Cable Serial Port 5.
Installing the Software 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 Sport3™ 9433™ Documentation CD-ROM (TC9433SWP) into your computer. 2. Select the Monarch NetMgr folder, then select Setup.exe. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the utility.
To use WEP encryption or other advanced security, enable the security and enter the appropriate key(s). To use TCP/IP without a DHCP server, manually assign a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway and then set the boot method to static. Note: 7. If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server may have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is necessary. This works if your DHCP server allows the print server to keep this address permanently.

See Chapter 5, “Using the Paxar Sierra Sport Configurator” to configure the network printer via Avalanche software.
Additional Windows Configuration Methods The print server is also compatible with other methods of printing from Windows. These include the Standard TCP/IP port option in Windows 2000/XP, and the LPR port option in Windows NT that are built into the operating system. UNIX Network Configuration The print server appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the line printer daemon (LPD) protocol.
1. Edit the /etc/hosts file: (or equivalent local host table). For example: 192.189.207.33 2. pxrprinter Edit the printcap file: An example of a typical entry in the printcap file is: PaxarPrinter:\ :lp=:\ :rm=PXR:\ :rp=BINARY_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/PaxarPrinter: "PaxarPrinter" is the queuename. "PXR" matches the name in the hosts file. "BINARY_P1" is the print server's service name. Note: 3. Use TEXT_P1 instead of BINARY_P1 for text files."sd" is the spool directory.
Sun Solaris Configuration To use a print server with Sun Solaris, first use the Host Manager in the Admintool utility to add the print server IP address and name to the /etc/hosts file. 1. Click None - Use /etc files on host. 2. Click Apply. 3. Click Edit and then Add Host. 4.

TROUBLESHOOTING 7 Verify that the printer is online and supplies are correctly loaded. General Troubleshooting Information Use the following information if your print server is not operating properly. 1. Verify that the printer is turned on. 2. Verify the print server is connected to the network. The printer’s display shows the symbol when the printer is connected and ready to receive data. 3. Print a test label. See Chapter 2, “Configuring the 802.11b/g and IP Settings” for more information.
6. Ping the printer. Pinging the printer tells you if it is “seen” on the network. If you cannot ping the printer, turn the printer off and then on. Then ping every device in the path to the printer - access points, routers, etc. Any device you cannot ping needs attention. ping 7. (i.e. ping 192.0.0.192) Verify connection to the data port by starting a Telnet session to the printer using port 9100 (i.e. Telnet aa.bb.cc.dd 9100). Press Ctrl-E on your keyboard. This sends an ENQ request.
Troubleshooting Wireless Configuration Problems 1. Your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point should be configured to match your print server. 2. The printer should be within range (up to 90 meters or 300 feet) of your computer and away from metal objects and other devices with radio signals (Bluetooth®, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and microwaves). 3. Use infrastructure mode to connect through an access point. Use Ad-Hoc mode to connect without an access point. 4.
Troubleshooting Network Configuration To use TCP/IP, your computer and the print server should be on the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If your print server is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP address, the print server’s IP address can change.

GLOSSARY Absolute Pathname G BSS or Basic Service Set The full path of a file, including the computer system and any directories or subdirectories. For example, c:\program files\monarch softw are\mpcl toolbox\9433.phu An interface between a wireless network and a wired network. Access points can be used with Ethernet or other communications to enable roaming throughout a facility. A wireless network composed of devices that contain a network interface card and no access point.
Channel or RF Channel DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol You can select which channel your network devices use to communicate. All devices must be on the same channel to communicate in Ad-Hoc mode. Other radio devices such as Bluetooth® wireless devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4-GHz cordless phones may operate/interfere if they are on the same channel as your network. One of the available boot methods.
LPD/LPR MAC Address or Media Access Control MSCHAPv2 (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) NIC or Netw ork Interface Card Node Open Authentication PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) Pathname PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) Ping Protocol A printer protocol that uses TCP/IP to establish connections between printers on a network. Also known as Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Remote. A hardware address (6-byte) that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
PSK (Pre-Shared Key) Authentication mode of WPA used in SOHO environments. The key value (or pass-phrase) is used for network authentication only (not data encryption). It does not use a RADIUS server like the other modes, but uses a shared key to provide the initial authentication with the access point or host. RADIUS (Remote Authentication DialIn Server) RARP or Reverse Address Resolution Protocol This is an authentication server, such as the Cisco® ACS, Microsoft® IAS, etc.
SSID or Service Set Identifier A unique identifier that must match for all nodes on a subnetwork to communicate with each other. It consists of up to 32 characters (any printable character, including spaces). If using the space character, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. It is case-sensitive. Static Method One of the available boot methods. Use static if your network uses fixed configuration. The IP address remains the same every time the device connects to the network.
WEP or Wired Equivalent Privacy A security protocol for wireless local area networks. WEP was designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired network, which is inherently more secure than a wireless network because wired networks are easily protected against unauthorized access. Wireless networks use radio waves to communicate and can be vulnerable to unauthorized users. WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted.
