This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.

Overview

The Wireless Print Server is designed to support many different
platforms, and the configuration required would depend upon the
environment in which it is installed.
•
The Wireless Print Server usually requires configuration, but
if there's a DHCP server on your network, then the device is just
plug-and-play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is also provided
on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.
•
PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the Wireless Print
Server always require configuration. See Chapter 4 - Client PC
Configuration for details.
•
If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using
Windows NT Server/Windows 2000/Windows XP, the
Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B -
Windows Server Configuration. However, it is not necessary
to use a Network Server-based queue; client PCs can print
directly to the Wireless Print Server using the Peer-to-peer
Printing installed by the User setup option on the CD-ROM.
