WPS
WiFi Protected Setup
Printer Server supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a
secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi
Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices.
Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
1. Press WPS buttons in each of the device itself and Wireless AP in three seconds and
release it, then the WLAN LED of device will be off.
2. Wait two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two
devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

2. Print Server Installation
Preparation
To meet users’ network printing needs in today’s heterogeneous and multiple protocol
networking environments, the print server supports industrial standard protocols, including
TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI and AppleTalk. This means that the print server supports the
most popular network operating systems today, including NetWare, Windows
95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7, UNIX systems and Macintosh computer. As such, there
might
be several ways to deploy the print server on your network.

and AppleTalk. In addition, we provide software for network configuration on the following
networks:
˙Novell NetWare 3.12, 4.x, 5.x (Bindery and NDS)
˙Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me
˙Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7
˙Apple EtherTalk
˙UNIX /Linux system
˙Internet (via Internet Printer Connection software)

Configuration solution Table has many installations way to setup Windows 95/98/Me,
Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7, NetWare, UNIX / Linux system and Mac computer.
Firstly, we introduce PSAdmin utility, HP Web JetAdmin program and Internet Printing
Protocol solution. Then we will discuss Embedded Web Server Installation with print server.

3. Software Installation
The PSAdmin is a proprietary Windows-based management program that can assist you in
configuring and managing your print server in NetWare environments. The program can be
installed from the setup CD of print server.
Installing the PSAdmin and Print Server’s Driver
1. To enable network communication with print server, your computer must have a
proper IP address, e.g. 192.168.0.100 (the print server’s default IP is 192.168.0.10)
2. Insert the setup CD into your CD-drive, and the following message appears:
Note:
For setup wizard under Windows Vista/7, you have to choose the Run as administrator
by right-click the icon on desktop.

13
3. Choose one to install the print server and configure the connected printer.
Note:
The setup CD will install the print server’s driver, PSAdmin and Setup Wizard into your
computer. The default installation directory will be C:\Program files\Network Print Monitor.
4. Click Next, the wizard will automatically discover the print server.

14
5. From the Select A Print Sever screen, select the print server that you want to
configure and click Next.

15
6. On the Change Settings screen, select No or Yes:
Click No if you want the print server to keep using the default IP address and keep the default
settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
WLAN default settings
Password:
Ad-Hoc mode
SSID: WLAN-PS
Channel: 6
Encryption: none
DHCP client: off
IP address: 192.168.0.10

16
Or

-Channel: optional
-Data Transmit Rates: select Auto or others
-Transmit Mode: select Auto or others
On the Wireless Security screen, enable or disable WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption,
configure according to your wireless network and click Next.
On the TCP/IP Settings screen, specify a fixed or dynamic IP address for the print
server, a fixed IP address is highly recommended. Click Next.
Click Yes if you want change IP address of the print server, and then click Next.
Note:
1. The IP address of print server must be within the same subnet as your network adapter.
2. After you save the new IP address, the print server will automatic reboot once to make
ready for the new IP address. It may take a couple of seconds.
