Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of your Print Server's features.
Features
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Print Server. Your Print Server was designed to
provide a simple and efficient network printing solution. It is packed with features, including:
¾Wireless LAN Support. (TEW-P11G only) Wireless stations supporting the IEEE
802.11b or IEEE 802.11g standard can interoperate with the Print Server. Both LAN and
WLAN users can print to the attached printer or printers.
¾Versatility. The Print Server supports up to four protocols: TCP/IP, SMB (Service
Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and NetBEUI. It features an Ethernet interface
port and operating system support includes Unix, NetWare (NDPS LPR printing), and
Microsoft Windows.
¾Easy Installation. The Print Server makes adding printers or plotters to your network
simple.
¾Easy Setup. A number of utility programs are supplied to simplify setup. For Windows
98/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista users, the BiAdmin program makes it easy to configure the
Print Server for a variety of network and server configurations.
¾Web-based Interface. The Web-based interface provides an easy method of
configuration in TCP/IP networks, regardless of your client platform.
¾Compact Size. This allows the Print Server to be used even where space is limited.
¾Remote Management Tools. A variety of software tools are provided. In most
environments, both the Print Server and attached bi-directional printers can be configured
remotely.
¾SNMP Support. The Print Server can act as a SNMP agent, with it own MIB. This
allows TCP/IP users to monitor, configure and troubleshoot the Print Server using their
existing SNMP management tools.
¾Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Support. The Print Server can act as an IPP
(Internet Printing Protocol) Server, allowing clients, suppliers, colleagues and others to
print to your printer from anywhere on the Internet. Windows IPP Client software is also
supplied.

5. Do not pinch, crimp or otherwise damage the power cord. If exposed to foot traffic,
ensures that the cable is properly shielded and does not pose a tripping hazard.
6. If using an extension cord, makes sure the total ampere rating of the products using the
cord does not exceed the extension cords ampere rating.
7. Do not attempt to service this device, as opening or removing casing may expose you to
dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Reset Button
The Print Server is fitted with a Reset Button. The button is recessed; a pin or paper clip can be
used to press it. This button has 2 functions:
•Restore the factory default settings
•Print a test page containing all current settings.
To restore the factory default settings:
1. Unplug the Power from Print Server.
2. Press and hold the reset button. While pressing the button, plug in the power back to Print
Server.
3. If you continue pressing the button for 10 seconds, a diagnostic page will be printed,
showing the new (default) settings.
To generate a Diagnostic print out
1. Ensure that both the Print Server and the printer attached to port 1 are ON.
2. Press the reset button, and hold it for 2 seconds.
3. The test page with current settings will be printed.
Note:
PostScript printers are unable to print this page. If you have a PostScript printer on Port 1,
the test page will not be printed.

Chapter 2
LAN Installation
This chapter describes how to install the Print Server in your Local Area Network.
Procedure
1. Preparation
•Ensure the power is OFF. Do not connect the Print Server while power is On.
•Find the Default Server Name for your Print Server. The Default Server Name is shown on
the back of the unit sticker. The format is TNXXXXX. The XXXXX indicates the last 5
digits of your MAC address. Record this name; it may be needed during configuration.
2. Connect the Printer or Printers
Connect the printer or plotter cable(s) to the appropriate port(s) on the Print Server unit.
3. Connect to your Network
Wired Network Interface
Connect the network cable to the 10/100BaseT LAN connector on the Print Server.
To use the LAN interface, the LAN cable needs to be inserted BEFORE
powering ON.
Wireless Network Interface (TEW-P11G only)
Ensure your Access Point is compatible with the Print Server's default settings:
SSID Null (blank)
The Print Server will adopt the SSID used by the Access Point, unless the
Access Point is configured not to broadcast its SSID.
WEP Disabled.
•
In the default Wireless "Infrastructure" mode, connecting a LAN
cable will disable the Wireless interface. To use both the LAN and
Wireless interfaces, the Wireless mode must be changed to "Ad-
hoc".
•Because the default Wireless mode is "Infrastructure", you cannot
configure the Print Server via the Wireless interface unless you have
an Access Point.

4. Power Up
Plug in the power adapter cable and power up. Start-up will take only a few seconds.
Use only the Power Supply unit provided with the device. Power Supply units for
different models are not interchangeable.
5. Check the LEDs
•The Power LED should be ON.
•If using the LAN interface, the Ethernet LED should be ON.
If using the Wireless interface, the Wireless LED should be ON.

Chapter 3
Print Server Configuration
This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.
Overview
The Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the configuration
required would depend upon the environment in which it is installed.
•The Print Server usually requires configuration, but if there's a DHCP server on your
network, then the device is just plug-and-play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is also
provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.
•It is required to config the print server on each computer.
See Chapter 4- Client Configuration for details.
•If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT Server/Windows
2000/Windows XP, the Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B -
Windows Server Configuration. However, it is not necessary to use a Network Server-
based queue; client PCs can print directly to the Print Server using the Peer-to-peer
Printing installed by selecting the User setup type during installation procedure.
Configuration Methods
The following methods are available to perform the required Print Server configuration:
•Windows-based Wizard - see below for details.
•BiAdmin management utility program - see Chapter 5 for details.
•Web-based setup - see Chapter 6 for details.
Advanced Configuration and Management
The BiAdmin management utility is provided for advanced configuration and management.
This program is installed by default when the Administrator install option is chosen. See
Chapter 5 for details on using BiAdmin.
Using the Windows Setup Wizard
The Windows-based Setup Wizard is supplied on the CD-ROM, and runs on Windows 98, 98,
NT4.0, ME, Windows 2000, XP and Windows Vista.
This is recommended that using this Setup Wizard to configure the Print Server and printer.
The default IP address is set as DHCP. If you do not have DHCP Server enable, the back up IP
for print server is 192.168.10.40.
Procedure
1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start
automatically, run Autorun.exe in the root folder.
