Using Bi-Admin - Linksys EFSP42 User Manual

Starting the Bi-Admin Management Utility
1. To start the Bi-Admin program, click on Start, Programs, Linksys
PrintServer Admin, and then PrintServer Bi-Admin. If the Bi-Admin
icon has been created, you can just double-click on it instead. You can
drag the shortcut icon onto your Desktop for easy access to the Bi-Admin
program.
2. When the Bi-Admin program appears, it will automatically scan the net-
work for available Linksys PrintServer hardware. Any hardware found on
the network will appear in the Default Name, Device Name, Printer Port
chart. Default Name is the SC number located on the back or bottom of
the PrintServer unit, and cannot be changed.
3. When the program is executed, it will ask for a password. Otherwise,
enter the password if you have assigned one and click OK. You will be
asked for the password every time you change the settings or protocols.
"Device name" is a nickname that you can give the PrintServer to make it
more user-friendly for users on the network. It can be changed with Bi-
Admin by clicking on Configuration, then System.
"Printer Port" displays the number of printer ports on the PrintServer.
N N o o t t e e : : Sometimes the PrintServer's E E r r r r o o r r or S S t t a a t t u u s s LED may light up or flick-
er as it accepts your configuration changes, which is normal.
