4 Microsoft Windows Network Configuration The EtherWind includes the easy-to-use ExtendNet Connect IP Monitor software for printing from Windows computers over an 802.11b wireless link. This software creates a network port on the Windows system, which acts like a normal parallel port. As a result, it works transparently with any standard Windows printer driver and application program. Because this software uses the industry-standard TCP/IP protocol, it can be used with IP routers and other IP-based equipment. Installing the Software 1. Install the ExtendNet Connect IP Port Monitor by inserting the EtherWind CD, selecting Install EtherWind Utilities, then Install ExtendNet Connect Port Monitor. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this installation. 2. Install the printer driver software according to the documentation for the printer. 3. Click the Windows Start button, select Settings, and then Printers. 4. Right-Click on the printer you wish to associate with the network port, and select Properties. 4-1
