• Only use the included mains adapter for power supply.
• The product is only suitable for operation in dry, closed rooms. No part of the product must
become damp or wet; do not touch it with damp or wet hands.
There is danger to life from electric shock!
• The product is not a toy. Devices that are operated with mains voltage have no place in the
hands of children. Therefore, be particularly careful when children are present. Operate the
product out of the reach of children.
• Protect the product from direct solar radiation, strong heat (>35°C), cold (<0°C), dust and dirt,
dripping or splashing water, vibrations or mechanic load.
• If the product is brought from a cold into a warm room (e.g. in transport), it is possible that
condensation develops. This may damage the product.
Therefore,
fi
rst let the product reach room temperature before using it. This may take several
hours.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care. Impact, blows or falls from even a low height will damage the
product.
• If there are any questions that are not answered in this operating manual, contact our techni-
cal support or another expert.
Commissioning
• Unpack the device and accessories
fi
rst.
• Connect the USB cable of your printer to the USB socket at the print server and switch on the printer. Once
the server is supplied with voltage, the USB LED should be permanently lit.
• Next, connect the plug-in mains adapter to the print server and plug it into a mains outlet.
• Switch on your PC and wait until the operating system has booted completely.
This PC must be connected to the router to which you need to connect the print server in the next step as
well.
• There are now two ways of integrating the device in your network. You may directly connect the server to
your router with a network cable. On the other hand, there is the option of wirelessly connecting the device
to your WLAN-router.
Both versions are explained here in sequence. Of course, the device must only be operated in one manner.
Con
fi
guration is later nearly identical in either case.
• Proceed as follows if you want to connect the print server to your router by cable.
Connect the LAN1 port of the server to a free LAN port of your router with a 1:1-connected network cable.
We recommend that you use the cable from the delivery scope.
• Proceed as follows if you want to connect the print server wirelessly via WPS.
Activate the WPS at your WLAN router
fi
rst. Usually, this requires keeping the WPS button pushed for
about 3 seconds
fi
rst. For this, observe any operating instructions of the router as well.
Once the WPS is active, keep the WPS button of the print server pushed for about 2 to 3 seconds until the
WLAN-LED starts
fl
ashing.
The connection is established after a certain time. The WAN-LED is lit permanently and
fl
ashes during
data transfer.
The con
fi
guration via WLAN is only possible by WPS. Perform con
fi
guration via the LAN cable
if your WLAN-router does not support WPS. The print server can be manually logged on to the
WALN during con
fi
guration.
Software Installation
• First place the CD included in the delivery in the corresponding drive of your computer.
If installation does not start automatically, open the CD content, e.g. with Windows-Explorer, and manually
start the installation programme. At the time of creation of these instructions, the
fi
le “autorun.exe“ in the
root directory of the CD must be started.
• Click “Setup Wizard” in the menu on the CD to install the software.
If any prompts of the Windows user account control appear now or later, con
fi
rm with with “Yes“.
• Then follow all instructions.
• The “Setup Wizard” is started automatically after completion of the installation.
If you want to restart the programme later, you may do this via the new link “PSWizard“ on your desktop.
However, you need to start this with administrator rights. Therefore, click the link with the right mouse but-
ton and select “Run as administrator“.
If you have installed a
fi
rewall on your system, you need to release the programme in it. You
may see a prompt when starting the programme. In any case, choose that the
fi
rewall should not
block the application and that access is permitted.
Con
fi
guration
The print server has the
fi
xed IP address
192.168.1.200 at delivery.
Even if this address is not
in the range of your network, the device is usually found by the con
fi
guration software.
Otherwise, assign a
fi
xed IP address, e.g.,
192.168.1.50
, to the PC you want to use for initial
con
fi
guration.
If you need help for this, observe chapter 4 of the English manufacturer‘s instructions on the CD.
• Click the button “Next” on the
fi
rst page.
• Now the network is searched for the print server. If required, click “Refresh“ to repeat the search.
If it is still not displayed, check that everything is connected correctly. Assign a
fi
xed IP address to the PC
if required.
Click “Next” for the next step.
• On the next page, you can choose if you want to con
fi
gure the ELAN and LAN interfaces.
If you have already con
fi
gured the settings, for example, or if you just do not want to perform it at this time,
leave the selection set to “No“ and click “Next“. The setup jumps to the item “Select a Printer“.
If you want to adjust the settings, change the selection to “Yes”.
No password is set in the default settings. You may leave the
fi
eld “Password“ empty. If you have already
assigned a password, enter it in this
fi
eld and then click “Next“.
• If you have connected the print server by WPS, you may skip the next con
fi
guration page with the button
“Next“.
Otherwise, the device can be manually connected to your WLAN router here.
Enter the name into the WLAN in
fi
eld “SSID” here.
Choose the encryption type on the next page and enter the password in the
fi
eld “Pre-shard Key“.
Click “Next” to con
fi
rm.
• You are now on the network settings page.
• Usually, it is recommended to retain the setting “Specify an IP address“ and to assign a
fi
xed IP address in
the area of your router to the print server. You need your router‘s IP address for this. Proceed as follows to
determine it.
First open the Windows prompt, e.g., by opening the start menu in Windows® 7 and entering “
cmd
” in
the search window. After con
fi
rming with Enter, enter the command “
ipcon
fi
g /all
” (without quotes) and
push Enter again. Then scroll up with the mouse to the item “Ethernet adapter” or “Wireless LAN adapter”,
depending on how your PC is connected to the network.
You can
fi
nd the IP address of your router there in “Default Gateway“,e.g.
192.168.0.1
. Enter this in the
fi
eld “Gateway IP” in the “Setup Wizard”.
A little above it, the “Subnet Mask“ is listed, usually
255.255.255.0
. Enter it in the
fi
eld “Mask IP Address”.
Now you need to enter an IP address for the print server. We recommend selecting a slightly higher ad-
dress, e.g.
192.168.0.240
.
Please
note:
Each block of the IP address must not exceed
254
. The
fi
rst three blocks must be the same as
for the standard gateway.
Additionally, the address should be outside of the DHCP area of your router.
• Of course, you may switch the server to DHCP as well, so that your router can assign it an IP address. For
this, select “Obtain an IP address automatically“.
