3-2 Ethernet Operating Instructions
Microsoft Windows Network Configuration
The print server includes the easy-to-use NetMgr software for printing from
Windows computers over an 802.11b/g wireless link. This software creates
a network port on the Windows system, which acts like a normal parallel
port. As a result, it works transparently with any standard Windows printer
driver and application program. Because this software uses the industry-
standard TCP/IP protocol, it can be used with IP routers and other IP-based
equipment.
Additional Windows Configuration Methods
The print server is also compatible with other methods of printing from
Windows. These include the Standard TCP/IP port option in Windows
2000/XP, and the lpr port option in Windows NT that are built into the
operating system.
UNIX Network Configuration
The print server appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a
unique IP address running the line printer daemon (LPD) protocol. As a
result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote-lpr command
can spool jobs to the print server without the need for any special software
on the host computer.
Note: Before configuring a UNIX print queue, the print server must have a
valid IP address.
