Overview
Your Wireless LevelOne Printer Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is
supported by all common Unix systems.
You must configure both the Wireless LevelOne Printer Server itself and your Unix system, as
described in the following sections.
LevelOne Printer Server IP Address Configuration
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the LevelOne
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:
•
Check your
DHCP server
(if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the
LevelOne Printer Server.
•
Configure your
BOOTP Server
(if you have one), to provide an IP address to the
LevelOne Printer Server, then restart the LevelOne Printer Server.
•
Use a Windows platform and run the
Setup Wizard
or
BiAdmin
utility to allocate a valid
IP Address to the LevelOne Printer Server.
•
Add an entry to the
arp
table to associate the hardware address of the LevelOne Printer
Server with the desired IP address, as follows:
arp -s IP_Address
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
Where:
IP_Address
is the IP Address you wish to assign to the LevelOne Printer Server.
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
is the hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server.
Example
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56
You should then assign this IP address to the LevelOne Printer Server using your Web
Browser, as described in
Chapter 6 - Web-based Management
.
Note:
The hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server is shown on a sticker on the base of
the device.
Other LevelOne Printer Server Configuration
The recommended method to configure the LevelOne Printer Server is to use the Web-based
interface, as described in
Chapter 6 - Web-based Management
.
•
Ensure that the TCP/IP settings are correct for you network.
•
The logical printers (e.g. L1) must be configured correctly to match your system.
