Renaming the xPrintServer Device
As part of the initialization process, the xPrintServer device
registers a Bonjour® service type
(specific to Lantronix) (_
Lantronix-xps._tcp
which uses the default device name of
xPrintServer
).
As with any Bonjour discovery application, you can find your xPrintServer
device in any Bonjour application-supported web browser using the URL:
http://xPrintServer-<serial number>.local
.
Therefore, you would search for
your xPrintServer device with
http://xPrintServer-<serial number>
by default. If
the default device name is changed, the xPrintServer URL used to access the xPrintServer web
interface would also be modified to become
<new device name>.local
, as the serial
number portion is part of the default device name.
Note:
All Apple devices natively include Bonjour Services.
Microsoft Windows Operating
Systems do not include Bonjour Service and require an installation of an application that includes
Bonjour Service for Windows, such as the Apple “Bonjour Print Services for Windows” or the
Apple Safari for Windows.
Once Bonjour Service for Windows has been installed, the
xPrintServer print server can be discovered using the configured
<name>
in the web browser, as
described above.
The directions below can be used by the Admin user to rename an xPrintServer device.
This is a
useful function in situations where there are multiple xPrintServer devices on a network, as each
device should have a unique name.
Changing the xPrintServer name requires a restart to use
the new xPrintServer name.
1.
Login to the xPrintServer user interface (see
Logging In
) as Admin user.
2. Click the
Admin
tab to access the
Admin
menu.
A list of all available Admin user
configuration options appears to the left of the screen (see
Figure 4-13
).
3. Click the
Name
link on the left side of the page to access the
Change xPrintServer Name
page.
The
Current Name
of your device displays, which by default is “xPrintServer” followed
by a dash and the serial number of your xPrintServer unit (for example,
xPrintServer-
0080A3854E09
).
4. Type in the
New Name
(an alpha and/or numeric combination that may include the
-
and
_
characters).
