Chapter 8: 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
PrintServer cease functioning properly. To access the Advanced Properties,
click the Advanced tab in the Web-based Utility.

The AppleTalk Page

AppleTalk is a network 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 PrintServer to be associated with, enter its
name in the field next to AppleTalk zone.
The Printer Object type can be obtained from the printer's manufacturer. For
each printer connected to the PrintServer, you will choose the Communications
Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communicate. Choose either
ASCII or Binary for each printer, according to the recommendation of the
printer's manufacturer.
If you make any mistakes prior to saving, click the Cancel button to 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.
