G E T T I N G S T A R T E D Use these instructions to configure your Monarch Sierra Sport2 9460 SNP printer or your Monarch® Sierra Sport4™ 9493™ SNP printer. Your printer contains an 802.11b/g print server (radio), which lets you communicate with your printer on a wired Ethernet 802.3 network (9493 printer only), or on an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network.
S y s t e m R e q u i r e m e n t s To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an 802.11b/g wireless network. The wireless network consists of either of the following: ...
C O N F I G U R I N G T H E 8 0 2 . 1 1 B / G A N D I P S E T T I N G S C o n f i g u r i n g t h e P r i n t S e r v e r To configure the print server for an 802.11b/g wireless network, you must set the wireless mode (Ad-Hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel (Ad-Hoc mode only), rate and security.
I n s t a l l i n g t h e S o f t w a r e The software works with Microsoft Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, and Vista™ operating systems. Follow these steps to install the NetManager software and configure the print server.
