Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 Appendix A: Troubleshooting This appendix consists of “Common Problems and Solutions”. Provided are possible solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the PrintServer. Read the descriptions below to help you solve your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com. Common Problems and Solutions If the PrintServer is not working correctly, follow the advice in this chapter.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 7. To start over, I need to set the PrintServer to its factory default settings. Unplug the PrintServer’s power adapter. Press the Reset button while you plug in the PrintServer’s power adapter. Continue to hold the Reset button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will reset the password, wireless, and other settings on the PrintServer to the factory defaults. In other words, the PrintServer will revert to its original factory configuration. 8.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 Appendix B: Wireless Security A Brief Overview Whenever data—in the form of files, emails, or messages—is transmitted over your wireless network, it is open to attacks. Wireless networking is inherently risky because it broadcasts information on radio waves. Just like signals from your cellular or cordless phone can be intercepted, signals from your wireless network can also be compromised. What are the risks inherent in wireless networking? Read on.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 But even WEP has its problems. WEP’s encryption algorithm is referred to as “simple”, which also means “weak”, because the technology that scrambles the wireless signal isn’t too hard to crack for a persistent hacker. There are five common ways that hackers can break into your network and steal your bandwidth as well as your data. The five attacks are popularly known as: 1. Passive Attacks 2. Jamming Attacks 3. Active Attacks 4. Dictionary-building or Table Attacks 5.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 Active Attacks Hackers use Active Attacks for three purposes: 1) stealing data, 2) using your network, and 3) modifying your network so it's easier to hack in the next time. In an Active Attack, the hacker has gained access to all of your network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) and is in your network. Once in your wireless network, the hacker has access to all open resources and transmitted data on the network.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 examples below, your implementation and administration of network security measures is the key to maximizing wireless security. No preventative measure will guarantee network security but it will make it more difficult for someone to hack into your network. Often, hackers are looking for an easy target. Making your network less attractive to hackers, by making it harder for them to get in, will make them look elsewhere.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 5) SSID There are a few things you can do to make your SSID more secure: a. Disable Broadcast b. Make it unique c. Change it often Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. This is a option for convenience, allowing anyone to log into your wireless network. In this case, however, anyone includes hackers. So don't broadcast the SSID. A default SSID is set on your wireless devices by the factory.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 PCs unprotected by a firewall router should at least run firewall software, and all PCs should run up-to-date antiviral software. 8) WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is often looked upon as a panacea for wireless security concerns. This is overstating WEP's ability. Again, this can only provide enough security to make a hacker’s job more difficult. WEP encryption implementation was not put in place with the 802.11 standard.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 The solution, then, is to segment your network up into multiple groups. If your network had 80 users and you used four WEP keys, a hacker would have access to only ¼ of your wireless network resources. In this way, multiple keys reduce your liability. Finally, be sure to change your WEP key regularly, once a week or once a day. Using a “dynamic” WEP key, rather than one that is static, makes it even harder for a hacker to break into your network and steal your resources.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 Appendix C: About Bi-Directional Printing Normal printing only sends print signals from a PC to a printer. Bi-directional printing, also called bitronic printing, refers to a printer’s ability to do just the opposite—talk back to a PC to notify it of a print job status, paper jams, etc. This two-way communication technology can be found in HP, IBM, Panasonic, and other laser or color printers where close contact between the PC and printer is key.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 Appendix D: Upgrading Firmware The PrintServer’s firmware is upgraded through the Bi-Admin Management utility. Follow these instructions: 1. Download the firmware from Linksys’s website at www.linksys.com. 2. Open the Bi-Admin Management utility. 3. Click Main => Upgrade Firmware. 4. Click the Files... button to browse for the file. 5. The Detected LAN Cards screen will appear, as shown in Figure C-2.
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0 Appendix E: Windows Help All Linksys wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in the world and comes with many features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed through Windows Help and are described in this appendix. TCP/IP TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a network. This is true for wireless networks as well.
