USER MANUAL NPS-520 ZYXEL

Copyright © 2007. All rights reserved.

Overview

The NPS-520 is a print server and comes with one Ethernet port and one USB (v2.0) port. You can use the USB port to share a printer with the computers in the network to which the NPS-520 (labeled NPS in the following graphic) is connected.

Through the NPS-520, the printer works as if it is connected directly to your computer.

You should have already installed the driver (and utility if there is one) for the printer (connected to the NPS-520) on your computer. Refer to your printer documentation for more information.

This guide shows you how to:

1 Install the hardware.
2 Install and use the ZyXEL utility (Windows users only).

3 Use the web configurator to manage the NPS-520.

Windows users can use the utility or web configurator to configure the NPS-520. Macintosh and Linux/UNIX users can use the web configurator to configure the NPS-520. See page 16 for a list of system requirements.

If your computer operating system version is older than Windows 2000 SP4, you can only print on a printer even if the printer provides print, copy, fax and/or scan functions.

1 Hardware Connection

Follow the steps below to connect the NPS-520 to your network.

1 Connect the USB port to a USB v2.0 compliant printer using a USB cable.
2 Connect the LAN port to your local network using an Ethernet cable.
3 Use the included power adaptor to connect the power socket on the NPS-520 to an appropriate power source.

1.1 LEDs

Look at the LEDs (lights) on the top panel.

The READY LED stays on when the system is ready.

The LAN LED stays on if the LAN port is properly connected and blinks when there is traffic.

If none of the LEDs are on, check your connections, and inspect your cables for damage. If the LEDs are still off, contact your local vendor.

2 ZyXEL Utility

Use the utility to install and associate your printer driver as well as manage the NPS-520.

2.1 Utility Installation on Windows

The NPS-520's default IP address is 192.168.1.6.

The installation procedures are similar for all supported Windows versions.

1 Insert the included CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer (that is connected to the NPS-520 directly or connected to your network). When the following screen displays, click Setup.

If the screen does not display, locate and double-click autorun.exe on the CD.

2 Select your preferred language and click OK.
3 The following screen displays. Click Next.

4 Click Next to accept the default file location or click Change to select an alternate folder.

5 Select Yes, I want to configure the ZyXEL NPS-520 now and click Next to configure the NPS-520 now.

6 Your unique NPS-520's device name automatically displays in the text box. If it does not show up, click Refresh to update this screen. Click Next.

7 Enter the default password (1234) and click OK.

8 Replace the unique generated device name with a more friendly recognizable name with additional descriptive text if you want. Alternatively, leave the fields at the default settings. Click Next.

9 If the NPS-520 is connected to a network that has a DHCP server, select DHCP to have the DHCP server assign TCP/IP information (such as IP address and subnet mask) to your NPS-520. Otherwise, select Manual IP and enter an IP address (in the same subnet as your network), subnet mask and the gateway's IP address. Click Next.

We recommend you give the NPS-520 a static IP address or configure your DHCP server to always give it the same IP address (static DHCP). If the NPS-520's IP address changes, you need to uninstall and reinstall the ZyXEL utility on each computer that uses it.

If you selected DHCP in the previous screen but there was no DHCP server found in your network, the following screen displays. Click Yes to go back to the TCP/IP configuration screen or click No to have the NPS-520 search for the DHCP server again.

If your computer and the NPS-520 are not in the same subnet, the following screen pops up. Click OK (or Yes) to continue.

10This read-only screen shows the current settings. Check whether what you have configured is correct and click

Finish. Otherwise, click Back to re-configure the information.

11Click Finish to complete the installation.

12Repeat these steps on each Windows computer in your network that will use the NPS-520.

2.2 Using the Utility on Windows

If you already installed a printer driver, you still need to associate it with the NPS-520.

2.2.1 Printer Driver Installation and Association

1 Start the ZyXEL utility by either double-clicking the utility icon in the system tray or clicking Start > (All) Programs > ZyXEL NPS-520 Utility > NPS-520 Utility.

2 The Status screen displays. Select the name of your NPS-520 and click Connect.

3 Windows automatically detects the printer and prompts you to install the printer driver. Follow the on-screen

instructions to install a new driver and/or have the driver associate with the NPS-520.

2.2.2 Managing the NPS-520

To have computers in the network take turns to use the printer, you need to enable Auto Connect in the utility Status screen and select a default printer. Auto connect allows the NPS-520 to communicate with the printer when you want to use it. The NPS-520 drops the connection after the job is finished.

Alternatively, click Connect and set the Auto Release idle timeout.

If you disable Auto Release, only that computer can use the printer. Click Disconnect to manually drop the connection.

The Auto Release and Auto Connect features are not configurable if your computer operating system version is older than Windows 2000 SP4.

If the printer is not connected or not available when you send out a request, the request will be put in your computer's print queue until the printer is available.

If you cannot use the printer, make sure you enable Auto Release and/or Auto Connect on all Windows computers.

3 Web Configurator

Follow the steps below to use the web configurator to configure the NPS-520's TCP/IP settings. See your User's Guide for more information and how to add a printer on your computer.

Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions.

1 Open your web browser.
2 Type the NPS-520's default IP address (192.168.1.6) as the URL.

3 Type "1234" (default) as the password and click Login.

If the login screen does not display, make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the NPS-520.

You may also need to check your browser's security settings and make sure your computer's Ethernet card is installed and functioning properly.

4 Click Setup TCP/IP to configure the NPS-520's IP address.

If the NPS-520 is connected to a network that has a DHCP server, select Obtain IP automatically to have the DHCP server assign TCP/IP information (such as IP address and subnet mask) to your NPS-520. Otherwise, select Use Fixed IP Address and enter an IP address (in the same subnet as your network), subnet mask and the gateway's IP address.

We recommend you give the NPS-520 a static IP address or configure your DHCP server to always give it the same IP address (static DHCP). If the NPS-520's IP address changes, you need to uninstall and reinstall the ZyXEL utility on each computer that uses it.

Click Apply to save your changes.

• Pentium II 300 MHz or above
