GETTING STARTED
Use these instructions to configure your MonarchSierra Sport3
9433SNP Printer. Your printer contains an 802.11b/g wireless print server
(radio), which operates on an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network.
802.11b/g refers to 802.11b and 802.11g in this manual.
The printer (version 3.0 or greater) also includes support for the Wavelink
AvalancheManagement Console software.
Note: Information in this document supercedes information in previous
versions. Check our Web site (www.paxar.com) for the latest
release and documentation information.
Overview
You can use the print server in Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure
(access point) wireless mode. The print server operates at speeds of up to
11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b and 54 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11g wireless
compatible networks.
Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server
for your printer. For more information and software downloads, see Chapter
7, “Troubleshooting.”

System Requirements
To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an
802.11b/g wireless network. The wireless network consists of either of the
following:
♦ An 802.11b/g wireless enabled computer printing straight to the printer
(Ad-Hoc or peer-to-peer mode).
♦ An 802.11b/g wireless access point allowing wireless enabled computers
to print to the print server (Infrastructure mode).
To configure and print, you need the following information from your wireless
network administrator:
♦ Wireless Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc)
♦ The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network.
♦ If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are
not connected to a server that automatically assigns your IP address, you
need to set the printer in Static mode and assign a unique IP address (for
example: 192.168.1.14) and a subnet mask. A router (default gateway)
address is optional.
♦ Wireless security settings
Network Protocols Supported
♦ TCP/IP:
LPD/LPR, FTP, or IPP
Raw TCP/IP (port 9100 or any chosen port)
NetBIOS over IP (with SMB)
NetWare (NEST)
