Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-1 INST ALLING THE PRINT SERVER HARDWARE The Paxar Monarch 7410 Print Server lets you communicate with Paxar Monarch printers on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the print server in ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless mode.
1-2 Installing the Print Server Hardware To configure and print, you need the following: 1. The MAC address from the label of the print server (for example: 004017023F96).
Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-3 Checking the Print Server Hardware The print server comes preinstalled and tested in your printer. Do not plug any cables into the parallel port when using the print server. A printer with this print server cannot use the parallel port.
1-4 Installing the Print Server Hardware Verifying Successful Installation When the print server is turned on, it goes through the following startup sequence: ♦ It runs through a set of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds. The green light comes on when the unit is turned on, then the green light turns off.
Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-5 Test/Reset Button Press this button down for less than 5 seconds to print a test page on the printer. The test page shows the current wireless and network settings of the print server. See “Sample Test Page” for more information.
1-6 Installing the Print Server Hardware Sample Test Page The test page is best displayed using 4” wide by 6” long labels. If the label is too small, some information may print outside the label edges. PAXAR ------------------ PaxarNet Print Server Status ------------- PaxarNet Network Adapter-PLUS FW Ver.
Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings 2-1 CONFIGURING THE 802.11B AND IP SETTINGS Configuring the Print Server There are three basic steps required to configure print server: 1. Configuring the 802.11b settings for wireless usage. To operate on an 802.

Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings 2-3 4. Click START to begin searching for print servers. WP-Admin gets the information from the print server(s) and lists the Server Name and Ethernet Address (which should correspond with the label on the back of the print server).
2-4 Configuring the 802.11b and IP Settings ♦ If your network uses WEP encryption, you need to enable WEP and enter the appropriate WEP key(s). Contact your system manager to determine what information you need.
Management Methods 3-1 MANAGEMENT METHODS There are a variety of ways to configure and monitor the print server. These methods are: WP-Admin, XAdmin32, Web Browser, PaxarNet Console, HP JetAdmin, HP Web JetAdmin, or Telnet. For Telnet/console mode information, see Appendix A, “Telnet Console Commands.
3-2 Management Methods Simply type the IP address into your web browser address bar to connect. The default password is ACCESS . NOTE: Both the print server and the PC must be configured with an IP address and your browser must be configured to work across a LAN in order to use a Web Browser.
Management Methods 3-3 HP Web JetAdmin Utility This HP utility for Windows NT Advanced Server and Windows 2000 can be downloaded from the HP web site (http://www.hp.com). Once it is installed, a web browser on any computer that has access to the Windows NT/2000 server may be used to access the print server.
3-4 Management Methods 7. If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP system, highlight Paxar Group ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor, and click New Port. If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, select Other, highlight Paxar Group ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor, and click OK.

3-10 Management Methods.
Troubleshooting 4-1 TROUBLESHOOTING First, make sure the printer is operating properly: 1. Is the printer online and does it have supplies? 2. If the printer is working correctly, test the connection between the printer and the print server by pushing the test button on the back of the printer for less than 5 seconds.
4-2 Troubleshooting Use 6-inch long supply. If you are using supply that is shorter than 6 inches long, temporarily change your supply type to “continuous” to print the entire test label. After printing the test label, change your supply type to your previous setting.
Troubleshooting 4-3 Press Enter (on your host) to get the “#” prompt and enter “access” as the password. Press Enter to by-pass the user name. Once here, you have verified operation to the print server. At the “Local>” prompt, you can do a ping from the print server to any other device by typing set ip ping aa.
4-4 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Wireless Configuration Problems 1. Make sure your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point is configured properly and matches your print server.
Troubleshooting 4-5 Troubleshooting Network Configuration ♦ If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the print server are on the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host. The IP Address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers (e.
4-6 Troubleshooting Password This is the wireless print server configuration password. For security, the password is never shown. (The field displays asterisks (*) if you type characters into it.) You must know the password before WP-Admin will show you the Configuration Screen.
Troubleshooting 4-7 Boot Method This is the method the wireless print server uses to obtain an IP address. This can be set to Auto, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or Static. Auto will try DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, and then set to Static if the IP Address isn't set automatically by the other methods.
4-8 Troubleshooting Wireless Mode Ad-Hoc (sometimes referred to as Peer-to-Peer, Computer- to-Computer, 802.11 Ad-Hoc, or IBSS compliant Ad-Hoc) modes are used when your wireless enabled PC is printing straight to the printer. Infrastructure mode is used when you have an Access point or base station as the hub of your wireless network.
Troubleshooting 4-9 Loading the Firmware Early versions of the software may have menus which differ slightly from those listed below. 1. Run the XAdmin32 utility from the Start menu, it should be found under START>Programs>Troy Group>Etherwind>XAdmin32.
