Page 7: Installing The Print Server Hardware
I N S TA L L I N G T H E P R I N T S E R V E R H A R D W A R E The Paxar Monarch 7410 Print Server lets you communicate with Paxar Monarch printers on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the print server in ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless mode. -
Page 8: Network Protocols Supported
To configure and print, you need the following: 1. The MAC address from the label of the print server (for example: 004017023F96). 2. The following information from your wireless network administrator: Wireless Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc) The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network. If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are not connected to a DHCP server (for obtaining an IP Address automatically), you need a unique... -
Page 9: Checking The Print Server Hardware
The print server comes preinstalled and tested in your printer. Do not plug any cables into the parallel port when using the print server. A printer with this print server cannot use the parallel port. However, the serial port is still active. -

NOTE: If your wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 Ad-hoc, you must select it if you want to use the printer in ad-hoc mode. If it doesn’t include this option, select Ad-hoc Computer-to-Computer, or whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate on a wireless network without an access point. -
Page 14: Installing The Software
If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption on your wireless network, you will need to temporarily disable WEP on your PC in order to configure the print server. If you are using an access point with WEP enabled and it does not allow non-wep clients to communicate with other non-wep clients, then you will also need to temporarily change the wireless mode of your computer to Ad-hoc (802.11) mode. - Page 15 4. Click START to begin searching for print servers. WP-Admin gets the information from the print server(s) and lists the Server Name and Ethernet Address (which should correspond with the label on the back of the print server). It might take a minute or two for the print server to show up, especially if you have a large wireless network.
- Page 16 DHCP (See your DHCP server documentation for details). This is because when you configure your printer port, it goes to a static IP address. Your print server should be configured correctly at this point.

Page 17: Management Methods
M A N A G E M E N T M E T H O D S There are a variety of ways to configure and monitor the print server. These methods are: WP-Admin, XAdmin32, Web Browser, PaxarNet Console, HP JetAdmin, HP Web JetAdmin, or Telnet. For Telnet/console mode information, see Appendix A, “Telnet Console Commands.”... -

T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g N e t w o r k C o n f i g u r a t i o n If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the print server are on the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host. - Page 32 Password This is the wireless print server configuration password. For security, the password is never shown. (The field displays asterisks (*) if you type characters into it.) You must know the password before WP-Admin will show you the Configuration Screen. Users should only put text into this field if they want to change the password.
- Page 33 Boot Method This is the method the wireless print server uses to obtain an IP address. This can be set to Auto, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or Static. Auto will try DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, and then set to Static if the IP Address isn't set automatically by the other methods.
