Overview
Your 802.11g Wireless Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is
supported by all common Unix systems.
You must configure both the 802.11g Wireless Print Server itself and your Unix system, as
described in the following sections.
802.11g Wireless Print Server IP Address Configuration
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the 802.11g
Wireless Print Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:
• Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the
802.11g Wireless Print Server.
• Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to the 802.11g
Wireless Print Server, then restart the 802.11g Wireless Print Server.
• Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard or BiAdmin utility to allocate a valid
IP Address to the 802.11g Wireless Print Server.
• Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the 802.11g Wireless
Print Server with the desired IP address, as follows:
arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
Where:
IP_Address is the IP Address you wish to assign to the 802.11g Wireless Print Server.
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of the 802.11g Wireless Print Server.
Example
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56
You should then assign this IP address to the 802.11g Wireless Print Server using your
Web Browser, as described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.
Note:
The hardware address of the 802.11g Wireless Print Server is shown on a sticker on the
base of the device.
Other 802.11g Wireless Print Server Configuration
The recommended method to configure the 802.11g Wireless Print Server is to use the Web-
based interface, as described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.
• Ensure that the TCP/IP settings are correct for your network.
• The logical printers (e.g. L1) must be configured correctly to match your system.
