GETTING STARTED
Use these instructions to configure your Monarch Sierra Sport2 9460 SNP
printer or your Monarch® Sierra Sport4™ 9493™ SNP printer. Your printer contains an
802.11b/g print server (radio), which lets you communicate with your printer on a wired
Ethernet 802.3 network (9493 printer only), or on an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless
network. 802.11b/g refers to 802.11b and 802.11g in this manual.
The 9460 printer (version 3.0 or greater firmware and version 1.4 or greater boot loader)
also includes support for the Wavelink Avalanche Management Console software.
Information in this document supercedes information in previous versions.
Overview
You can use the print server in Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point)
wireless mode. The print server operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE
802.11b and 54 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11g wireless compatible networks.
The 9493 wireless print server includes a dual built-in wired Ethernet (802.3) connection
so the print server automatically switches between wireless and wired Ethernet mode
within the same subnet address. When switching between wired and wireless mode on
different subnets, turn off the printer and then turn it back on to reinitialize the radio.
Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server for your
printer. For more information and software downloads, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”
