PrintServer for USB with 4-Port Switch
Apple Talk (Figure 8-18)
AppleTalk is a network communications protocol that 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. Enter the Zone Name in the field. Select the port number from the drop-down menu. The Printer
Type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer. Enter the type of printer in the field. For each
printer connected to the PrintServer, you will choose the Communications Protocol that allows the devices on
the network to communicate. Select the type of Communication Protocol you will use, ASCII or Binary for each
printer, according to the recommendation of the printer's manufacturer.
Click the Get Defaults button if you want to return the settings to the default settings.

NetBEUI (Figure 8-19)
Enter the name of the domain that you want the PrintServer associated with in the Domain Name field. If you are
unsure of the Domain Name, you can find it out by looking on any computer already on the network. In Windows
98, right click Network Neighborhood and select Properties. Under the Identification tab, there will be listed that
computer's name, and the Domain to which it is connected. For Windows Me and 2000, right click My Network
Places. In Windows Me, choose Properties from the menu that appears. In Windows 2000 or XP, choose
Properties from the menu that appears. Then, right click Local Area Connection and choose Properties. The
Domain name will appear. If you want the PrintServer to be connected to that same Domain, enter that Domain
name here. If no Domain name exists there, you will use the Workgroup name from that window. You can
specify the Response Time that you prefer for the PrintServer. This is the amount of time (measured in seconds)
that the PrintServer will wait for a response from the network before "timing out." You also have the option to
Abort Print Job if Error. Selecting Yes here will terminate the printing if there is an error of any kind. If you
select No, print jobs that have errors will be sent to the printer, but might not print properly.
Click the Get Defaults button if you want to return the settings to the default settings.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the OK button to save these changes, or click the
