8. RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS
You can reset the
x
PrintServer to factory default settings. The Reset button is on the
bottom of the device and is accessible through a “pin hole” in the case. To reset the unit to
factory defaults, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Place the end of a paperclip or similar object into the reset opening (pin-sized hole
on the bottom of the device) and press for a minimum of ten (10) seconds;
Step 2: Remove the paperclip to release the button. The firmware restores the factory
default settings to the configuration and reboots the unit.
9. TOPOLOGY SUPPORT
The
x
PrintServer is hardwired (via standard CAT-5) cabling to a router, switch or hub. The
system requires an Access Point be also hardwired to the network and communicating on
the same subnet . The IOS devices associate with the A/P and communicate to the
x
PrintServer when a print job is ready to be processed. The
x
PrintServer communicates to
network attached printer(s); the printers may either be hardwired or wireless connected to
the network.
The printer and
x
PrintServer do not need to be on the same subnet, however, the
x
PrintServer will not be able to auto-detect printers outside of the subnet to which it is
connected. However printers on different subnets can be configured via the
x
PrintServer
easy to use Web GUI.
The
x
PrintServer uses Zeroconf to advertise print services to the IOS device(s) and requires
either one or both of the following:
•
Both the IOS device and the
x
PrintServer are on the same subnet.
•
The IOS device and
x
PrintServer are on different subnets but multicast traffic is
communicated between the subnets.

Obtaining your
x
