Overview
The NPS-520 is a print server and comes with one Ethernet
port and one USB (v2.0) port. You can use the USB port to
share a printer with the computers in the network to which the
NPS-520 (labeled NPS in the following graphic) is connected.
Through the NPS-520, the printer works as if it is connected
directly to your computer.

server, select DHCP to have the DHCP server assign
TCP/IP information (such as IP address and subnet mask)
to your NPS-520. Otherwise, select Manual IP and enter
an IP address (in the same subnet as your network),
subnet mask and the gateway’s IP address. Click Next.

always give it the same IP address (static
DHCP). If the NPS-520’s IP address changes,
you need to uninstall and reinstall the ZyXEL
utility on each computer that uses it.
