Chapter 2
LAN Installation

This chapter describes how to install the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server in your Local Area Network.

Procedure

1. Preparation

  1. Ensure the power is OFF. Do not connect the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server while power is On.
  2. If you have a compatible 802.11b Wireless PCMCIA card, it must be inserted into the PCMCIA slot on the rear. With the LEDs on the PCMCIA card facing UP, slide the card into the PCMCIA slot until it encounters some resistance. Push firmly and it will click into position.
  3. Find the Default Server Name for your LevelOne Wireless Printer Server.

During configuration you will be able to change the device name. The new name MUST NOT contain any spaces or blanks

2. Connect the Printer

Connect the printer or plotter to the LevelOne Wireless Printer Server's printer port, as appropriate:

3. Connect the Network Cable

This will disable the Wireless interface, because the default "Infrastructure mode" wireless setting can NOT be used with the LAN interface. To use both the LAN and Wireless interfaces, the Wireless mode must be set to "Ad-hoc".
After configuration, the LAN interface can be disconnected if not required.

4. Power Up and Check the LEDs

Use only the Power Supply unit provided with the device. Power Supply units for different models are not interchangeable.
