Chapter 2 LAN Installation 2 This chapter describes how to install the LevelOne Printer Server in your Local Area Network. Procedure 1. Preparation • Ensure the power is OFF. Do not connect the LevelOne Printer Server while power is On. • For the PS 7100 and WPS-0100USB only, the PCMCIA wireless card must be inserted into the PCMCIA slot on the rear. With the LEDs on the PCMCIA card facing UP, slide the card into the PCMCIA slot until it encounters some resistance.
LAN Installation 5. Check the LEDs • • • The Red Error LED should flash, then turn Off. When the Red LED goes off and the Green LED remains lit or flashes, the LevelOne Printer Server is ready. For models with USB ports, the Red Error LED will remain flashing if the LevelOne Printer Server can't connect to the printer. If your model supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT, check the 10/100BaseT link LED or LEDs next to the LAN connection.
Chapter 3 LevelOne Printer Server Configuration 3 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. A Windows-based setup Wizard is provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.
If the desired LevelOne Printer Server is not listed: • Check all cables to the LevelOne Printer Server. • Check the LevelOne Printer Server's LEDs: • • The Red LED should be OFF and the Green LED should be ON or flashing. • If your model supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT, check the 10/100BaseT link LED next to the LAN connection. If the auto negotiation fails, the 10/100BaseT Link LED will not light when the device is powered up. (If there are 2 LEDs, neither will light.
Quickset Command-line DOS program, intended only to configure the LevelOne Printer Server for use with NetWare V2, 3 and 4. This program also has a limited ability to configure the NetWare Server itself. This program is on the CD-ROM, in the Utilities\DOS folder. Instructions for using the program are in a sub-folder of the Manual folder on the CD-ROM. Advanced Configuration and Management The BiAdmin management utility is provided for advanced configuration and management.
Chapter 4 4 Client PC Configuration The chapter details the client configuration required on LAN clients to use the printer or printers attached to the LevelOne Printer Server. Overview Before performing client configuration, the following conditions must be met: • LevelOne Printer Server must be installed on your LAN • LevelOne Printer Server must be configured (refer to Chapter 3). • Both the LevelOne Printer Server and the attached printer must be powered ON.
Printing Methods The LevelOne Printer Server supports a number of printing methods: • Peer-to-peer Print Driver is used by the User installation on the CD-ROM. The print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and sent to the LevelOne Printer Server when it is available. • Server-based Print Queue means that the all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network Server (e.g. NetWare, Windows NT/2000) and then sent to the LevelOne Printer Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue.
Figure 1: Network Configuration 2. 3. • The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the NetBEUI protocol is installed on this PC. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter". • The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP is installed. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter".
Windows Peer-to-peer Print Driver With this printing method, print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and then sent to the LevelOne Printer Server when it is available. Setup Before performing the following procedure, the LevelOne Printer Server must be installed on your LAN, and configured as described in Chapter 3. Both the LevelOne Printer Server and the attached printer should be powered ON. 1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive.
