Chapter 7: Advanced Properties

The Advanced Properties section of the Web-based Utility is for users who have
a thorough understanding of networks and network settings. Changing these
settings can cause interruption of network communication and make the
Wireless PrintServer cease to function properly. To access the Advanced
Properties, click the Advanced tab in the Web-based Utility.

The AppleTalk Page

AppleTalk is a net-
work communications
protocol which allows
computers to talk to
each other using
Ethernet. Typically
only Macintoshes use
AppleTalk, although
other platforms can be
made to use it with
extra software.
AppleTalk Zones (if
available) can be seen
in the Chooser, the AppleTalk Control Panel, and the Network Browser. Once
you have determined the AppleTalk Zone that you want the Wireless
PrintServer to be associated with, enter its name in the box next to AppleTalk
zone.
The Printer Object type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer.
For each printer connected to the Wireless PrintServer, you will choose the
Communications Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communi-
cate. Choose either ASCII or Binary for each printer, according to the rec-
ommendation of the printer's manufacturer.
If you make any mistakes prior to saving, you can simply hit the Cancel but-
ton, which will let you exit the screen without making any changes. Once you
are certain of any changes you have made, click the Save button to implement
the changes.
Note: Linksys does not support its products in an Apple networking
environment. If you encounter trouble, consult your printer documen-
tation for possible help with settings.
