GETTING STARTED

Use these instructions to configure your Monarch Sierra Sport2 9460 SNP

printer or your Monarch® Sierra Sport4™ 9493™ SNP printer. Your printer contains an

802.11b/g print server (radio), which lets you communicate with your printer on a wired Ethernet

802.3 network (9493 printer only), or on an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network. 802.11b/g

refers to 802.11b and 802.11g in this manual.

The 9460 printer (version 3.0 or greater firmware and version 1.4 or greater boot loader) lso

includessupport for the Wavelink Avalanche Management Console software.

Information in this document supercedes information in previous versions. Check our Web site

for the latest documentation and release information.

Overview

You can use the print server in Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless

mode. The print server operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b and 54 Mbps

on any IEEE 802.11g wireless compatible networks.

The 9493 wireless print server includes a dual built-in wired Ethernet (802.3) connection so the

print server automatically switches between wireless and wired Ethernet mode within the same

subnet address. When switching between wired and wireless mode on different subnets, turn off

the printer and then turn it back on to reinitialize the radio.

Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server for your printer. For

more information and software downloads, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”

Audience

This manual is written for the System Administrator who sets up printers on the network and is

familiar with basic networking principles.

System Requirements

To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an 802.11b/g wireless

network. The wireless network consists of either of the following:

An 802.11b/g wireless enabled computer printing straight to the printer (Ad-Hoc, or peer-to-

peer, mode).

♦

An 802.11b/g wireless access point allowing wireless enabled computers to print to the print

server (infrastructure mode).

To configure and print, you need the following information from your wireless network

administrator:

Wireless Mode (infrastructure or Ad-Hoc)

The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network.

If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are not connected to a

server that automatically assigns your IP address, you need to set the printer in Static mode

and assign a unique IP address (for example: 192.168.1.14) and a subnet mask. A router

(default gateway) address is optional.

CONFIGURING THE 802.11B/G AND IP

SETTINGS

Configuring the Print Server

To configure the print server for an 802.11b/g wireless network, you must set the wireless mode

(Ad-Hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel (Ad-Hoc mode only), data rate and security. All nodes

of a wireless network need to have the same settings to communicate with each other.

There are several ways to configure your print server. You can

send console commands using a utility such as Monarch® NetManager. See “Installing the

Software” for NetManager information.

♦

use a Web browser. See Chapter 4, “Using a Web Browser” for more information.

use the Sierra Sport Configurator with Avalanche. See Chapter 5, “Using the Sierra Sport

Configurator” for more information.

use Telnet. See Chapter 6, “Telnet Console Commands” for a list of supported commands.

select the RF Network (9460) and Network (9493) printer menus. See “Setting Up Using the

Printer’s Menu.” The printer’s menus allow you to do basic setup.

Before You Begin

Configure your computer to communicate on a wireless network before you continue.

To connect a device using an access point, set your computer to infrastructure mode. ♦

♦

To connect directly to a device without an access point, set your computer to Ad-Hoc

Computer-to-Computer mode, or whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate without

an access point.

To use Ad-Hoc mode, temporarily disable security on your access point. After the print

server is configured, re-enable security on the access point.

To use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or other advanced security, such as WPA

(Wi-Fi Protected Access), on your wireless network, temporarily disable the security on your

computer in order to configure the print server. To allow non-secure clients to communicate

with each other, temporarily change the wireless mode of your host to Ad-Hoc mode.

To use TCP/IP, note your computer’s IP address. The print server needs to be on the same

IP segment as the other nodes on your network in order to communicate.

You need a good signal between your computer and the access point to communicate.

Setting Up the 9460™ Using Direct Serial Connections

1. Disconnect the printer’s radio cable from the printer’s serial port.

2. Connect a serial cable (DB9 female to DB9 female all lines wired straight through) from the

host or computer to the print server’s radio cable.

Radio Cable

Radio Cable

5. Turn off the printer, wait a few seconds, and then turn on the printer.

Your printer is ready to use.

Setting up the 9493™ Using Direct Serial Connections

Use a serial cable or a USB cable for direct communication with the printer.

The USB port can function as either a serial port or a parallel port. Refer to

the System Administrator’s Guide for more information about changing the

USB port’s function.

1. Open the hinged cable door on the side of the printer by loosening the

two screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

6. Plug the DB9 connector into the DB9 port or plug a USB type A or USB

mini-B connector into the corresponding USB port as show.

7. Place the cable in one of the cable cavities.

DB9 cable shown

8. Turn on the printer and configure using Telnet or other communications

program. See Chapter 6, “Telnet Console Commands” for more

information.

9. Turn off the printer, wait a few seconds, and

then turn on the printer.

Your printer is ready to use.

Installing the Software

The software works with Microsoft Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, and Vista™ operating

systems. Follow these steps to install the NetManager software and configure the print server.

You can also download the utility from our Web site.

1. Insert the Monarch® Printer Documentation CD-ROM (TC9X00SWP) into your computer.

2. Select Drivers & Utilities, then NetManager.

2-2 System Administrator’s Guide

3. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing the utility. When NetManager starts for the

first time, you see the NetManager Welcome screen. You are prompted to enter a View

Name (sets up how print servers are discovered and displayed on your network). Then,

select the protocol and filter settings or “Automatically create a view with default settings.”

4. Select Finish to begin searching for print servers. NetManager gets the information from the

print server(s) and lists the server name, IP address, and hardware (Ethernet) address.

The default name of the print server is PXRxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the

hardware address (for example, PXR08B2C7).

Note: It might take a minute or two for the print server to appear, especially on a large

wireless network.

5. When you see the print server you need to configure in the list, highlight it and click the

Configuration tool.

Note: A wireless signal of less than 50% on the Wireless Status screen, could affect printing

performance. To improve the signal strength, move the print server closer to the

computer or access point and away from other radio devices such as Bluetooth®

wireless devices, microwave ovens, or 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones.

6. Configure your print server to the settings you need. Many of the fields are automatically

configured to match the network being used, so you may not need to change the Wireless

Mode, RF Channel, SSID, and Data Rate settings unless you need to change the print

server to a different wireless network.

To use WEP encryption or other advanced security, enable the security and enter the

appropriate key(s).

♦

♦ To use TCP/IP without a DHCP server, manually assign a valid IP address, subnet mask,

and gateway and then set the boot method to static.

Note: If you are using DHCP on your network, the print server may have acquired valid IP

settings at this point and no further configuration is necessary. This works if your DHCP

server allows the print server to keep this address permanently. However, in most

cases, use a static address outside the range reserved for DHCP (Refer to your DHCP

server documentation for details). When you configure your printer port, it goes to a

static IP address.

7. When you are done configuring, click OK. You are prompted to save changes and reset the

print server. Click OK. The print server resets with your new configuration. This may take

several minutes.

Setting Up Using the Printer’s Menu
