Power on your printer.
Plug the power adapter into the PrintServer's Power port. Then plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

Configure the PrintServer

Insert the Setup CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive. The Setup Wizard should run automatically. If it does not, click Start and choose Run. In the field that appears, enter D:\setupWizard.exe (if "D" is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
On the Welcome screen, click Setup Wizard.
The Setup Wizard will search for the PrintServer. After it has been found, the Wireless-G PrintServer Setup screen will appear. If this is the first time you have run the Setup Wizard, make sure that List only new (unconfigured) Print Servers is selected and your PrintServer is listed by its default server name. If you have previously C configured the PrintServer, select List all compatible Print Servers. Click Next.
On the Basic Settings screen, you may change the Device Name and Domain Name settings if you want. Then click Next.
The IP Settings screen will appear. If your network uses a router that automatically assigns IP addresses, select Automatically obtain an IP address (DHCP) and click Next. If you need to assign the PrintServer a static IP address, select Set IP configuration manually, and enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway in the fields provided. Then click Next.
On the Set PrintServer's Password screen, enter the PrintServer's default password, admin, in the Current Password field. Enter a new password in the New Password field, and enter it again in the Verify Password field. Click Next.
On the Wireless Settings F screen, enter your wireless network's SSID or name. If your network is set to ad-hoc mode, select the channel at which the network broadcasts its wireless signal. For the Network Type setting, select infrastructure if the PrintServer will communicate using an access point or wireless router. G Select Ad-Hoc if the PrintServer will communicate directly with wireless-equipped computers. Click Next.
On the Wireless Security Settings screen, select a level of WEP encryption, 64 Bit Keys or 128 Bit Keys. Then enter a Passphrase to automatically generate a WEP key. Then click Next.
If you would like to enter your WEP key manually, leave the Passphrase field blank and enter the WEP key on the next screen. Then click Next.
If you used a Passphrase, then a WEP key will appear on the following screen. Otherwise, enter your WEP key in the Key 1 field. Click Next.
