Chapter 2 Installation and Setup This chapter describes how to install your PS121v2 USB Multifunction Print Server and set up basic connectivity on your Local Area Network (LAN). Operation is covered in Chapter 3, "Managing the Print Server"in this manual. Preparing for Installation Assure that the following are available: • You have a working Ethernet network running TCP/IP with at least one PC running Microsoft Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000,Windows 98SE, or Windows Me. • You have one unused port on a router. • You have a printer with a USB port. Note: The PS121v2 USB Multifunction Print Server does not support printers using parallel connectors. If your printer uses a parallel connector, you should use one of the other NETGEAR Print Servers such as the Model PS101 Mini Print Server. • Gather your existing network settings such as the TCP/IP addresses and networking protocols in use. You may need to have your printer driver software handy. For most popular printers, Vista and Windows already have the printer driver software available. Tip: Directly connect the printer that you will use to a computer and verify it is working properly before connecting it to the USB Multifunction Print Server 2-1 v2.0, April 2007
