This chapter explains how to use your Web Browser to configure the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server models
The LevelOne Wireless Printer Servers incorporate a HTTP server. This allows you to connect to the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server and configure it using your Web Browser. Most browsers should work, provided they support tables and forms.
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:
arp -s IP_Address 00-c0-02-xx-xx-xx (Windows)
Example (Windows):
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00-c0-02-12-34-56
![]() |
The hardware address of the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device. |
e.g.
http://192.168.0.21
AppleTalk zone
|
This determines which Apple systems can gain access to this printer.
|
Printer Object Type
|
These are text fields, used to describe the printer driver used for each
port. The LevelOne Wireless Printer Server is designed to work with LaserWriter
(or 100% compatible) printers.
|
Communication Protocol
|
Sets whether the port uses ASCII or Binary Communication Protocol.. The
default is Binary.
|
Domain Name
|
Enter the designated work group to be serviced by the LevelOne Wireless
Printer Server. This field is not case sensitive, so names with different case
will be considered to be the same name.
|
Response Time
|
Set how fast jobs are sent to the printer. The default value of zero (0)
delay should be increased only if your printer cannot cope with no delays.
|
Abort Print Job if Error
|
YES terminates a print job if a printing error occurs. NO (default) will
try to continue but may cause print errors. If print errors occur, try setting
this value to YES.
|
SysContact
|
Text Field - Name of the contact person.
|
SysLocation
|
Text Field - Location of the contact person.
|
Management Stations |
|
Station No.
|
Select the Management station (1..4), and click the Get Data
button to update the display for the selected item.
|
IP Address
|
Enter the IP Address of the management station, which has the SNMP program
installed.
|
Community
|
This is a text field. Enter the name of the community.
|
Access
|
Select the desired level of access.
|
Trap Receivers |
|
Receiver No.
|
Select the Trap Receiver number (1..4), and click the Get
Data button to update the display for the selected item.
|
IP Address
|
Enter the IP Address of the Trap Receiver, which will be sent the Trap
message.
|
Community
|
This is a text field. Enter the name of the community.
|
Enable
|
Check to enable; select the severity level.
Note: Currently, all traps are level 1. |
IP Address
|
IP Address assigned to this device. If using dynamic IP Addresses (DHCP,
BOOTP, rarp), this should be left at 0.0.0.0.
|
Subnet Mask
(Network Mask) |
If the Router (Gateway) Address is 0.0.0.0, the Subnet Mask should also be
left at 0.0.0.0. If you have a router, enter the Subnet mask for the segment to
which the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server is attached.
|
Gateway Address
|
If your network segment has a router or gateways, enter its IP Address
here. Otherwise, leave the address as 0.0.0.0.
|
Connection |
|
Delay before reconnection attempts |
Sets how long the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server should wait before
retrying a TCP/IP connection which is lost. Allowable values are from 0 to 255
seconds, with 2 as the default.
|
Number of reconnection attempts
|
Set how many attempts at reconnection will be made. After that, the TCP/IP
session will be terminated.
Allowable values are from 0 to 255, with 254 as the default. |
Figure 16: Configure Server Screen
Print Server Name
|
Change the default name if you wish. The new name must not contain any
spaces or blanks.
|
Password
|
Enter the device password, and again in the Verify field.
Once a password is entered, it is required in order to gain access and change
the configuration.
|
Enable Protocols
|
Non-TCP/IP protocols may be disabled if they are not required on your LAN.
|
The settings on this screen must match the other Wireless stations in order for communication to occur.
Configuration |
|
Regulatory
Domain |
It is illegal to use this device in any location outside of the regulatory
domain.
|
Station name
|
This is the same as the Device (Host) Name on the WAN screen.
|
SSID
(ESSID) |
To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST use the same SSID/ESSID.
The default value is null. Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
|
Channel No.
|
The default Channel for the USA and Canada is 3.
Select the value you wish to use on your Wireless LAN. If you experience
lost connections and/or slow data transfers you may need to experiment with
different channels to see which is the best.
|
Network Type
|
Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.
|
Link Info Button
|
Click this button will open the sub screen.
|
WEP Data Privacy |
|
Off
|
If OFF (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted.
|
64 Bit Encryption
|
If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
transmitted.
The receiving station must be set to 64 Bit Encryption, and have the same
Key value in the same position in its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able
to decrypt the data.
Default Key
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is ALWAYS
encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for decryption only.
Key Table:
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations,
always transmit data encrypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3,
4) is also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number (1, 2, 3,
4) to determine which key value to use for decryption. If the key value does not
match the transmitting station, decryption will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every Station,
use the same key table (all entries identical). Then, it does not matter which
key is used as the default key.
|
128 Bit Encryption
|
If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted. The
receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and have the same Key
value. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
Key
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same
key
|
WEP Authentication
|
Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".
Some Wireless cards do not support both methods. Check your Wireless card's
documentation to determine the correct value.
Ensure that all Wireless stations use the same setting as the Access
Point.
