Reserve the Print Server’s IP Address on Your Router
The DHCP server on your router assigns new IP addresses to its client devices periodically. The
print server’s IP address should be reserved so that it will never change. Otherwise, if another
client requests a new IP address before the print server connects to the router, the print server’s IP
address will be assigned to the other client, resulting in an IP address conflict.
To reserve the print server’s IP address in your router, you will need some or all of the following
information about the print server:
• IP address
• MAC address
• Device name
The device name and MAC address are printed on the label on the underside of the print server.
The above information can also be obtained by running the SmartWizard program or by
connecting to the print server with your Web browser.
If you have a NETGEAR router, use the following instructions to reserve the IP address for the
print server in your router. Otherwise, refer to your router manual.
To permanently reserve the print server’s IP address in a NETGEAR router:
1. Open your web browser and enter the URL http://www.routerlogin.net in the address bar or
enter the router’s IP address. This address is printed on the label on the bottom or the back of
the router and is typically either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1.
2. In the Advanced section of the main menu, click LAN IP Setup.
The Address Reservation table is displayed at the bottom of the LAN IP Setup window.
3. Click Add to open the Address Reservation window.
4. Enter the IP address, MAC address, and device name and then click Add.
Set Up Each Additional PC to Use the PS121v2
After you have set up the PS121v2 in your network and connected it to one computer, you need to
set up each additional computer to use the PS121v2. You do this by using the Resource CD.
Warning: For Windows 98SE and Windows ME, print manager software from Epson
and from some HP printers can block communications between your PC and
the PS121v2. Uninstall such print manager software before proceeding with
the Add Printer Port Wizard.
