Any hardware found on the network will appear in the Default Name, Device Name, Printer Port chart. Default Name is the SC number located on the back or bottom of the PrintServer unit, and cannot be changed. 3. When the program is executed, it will ask for a password. Otherwise, enter the password if you have assigned one and click OK. You will be asked for the password every time you change the settings or protocols. "Device name" is a nickname that you can give the PrintServer to make it more user-friendly for users on the network. It can be changed with BiAdmin by clicking on Configuration, then System. "Printer Port" displays the number of printer ports on the PrintServer.
