You can find your serial number on the bottom label of the USR5436 Wireless USB Print Server and on the side of the package. Write your serial number down. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department, you will need this number to receive assistance. The Wireless USB Print Server is initially set in Infrastructure mode. If you will be establishing a wireless connection to a wireless router or access point, the only security that the print server supports is WEP or WPA-PSK. You may need to modify the security settings of your wireless network accordingly. Step One: Connect the square end of a USB cable to the USB port on your printer. Connect the thin rectangular end of the USB cable to the USB port on the Print Server. Make sure your printer power cable is plugged in and the printer is turned on. Step Two: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your wireless or wired router and the other end to the Ethernet port on the Print Server. Note: The Wireless USB Print Server must be connected to your network using an Ethernet cable for the initial configuration. After the initial configuration, you can establish a wireless connection. 2 Step Three: Connect the included power adapter to the power socket on the Wireless USB Print Server. Plug the power adapter into a standard power outlet. Note to UK Users: Attach the correct power plug to the power adapter. Step Four: Make sure your computer is turned on. Insert the Installation CD-ROM into your CDROM drive. Click Setup Wizard and then click Next. Note: If your CD-ROM does not automatically launch, click Windows Start, Run, type D:\autorun (if your CD-ROM drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of "D"), and click OK. The Wireless USB Print Server will be shown in the list. Select the print server in the list and click Next. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the settings of the Print Server. Make sure your enter the correct settings for your wireless network, including SSID, security information, and network type (Infrastucture or AdHoc). Click Finish to complete the Setup Wizard. You will then be prompted to install the Peer-to-Peer (PTP) driver. Click Yes. Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted, select the printer port and click Next. If the printer appears in the Existing Printers list, select it and click Connect. Then click Close to exit the Printer Port Setup. If the printer doesn't appear, click Add New Printer and follow the onscreen instructions. After installing the printer, you should now see it in the Existing Printers list. Select the printer, click Connect, and then click Close to exit the Printer Port Setup. Note: If you experience any problems or do not see an asterisk next to the port name in the Printer Port Setup screen, click Refresh. You may need to click this a few times. If it still doesn't appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section in this guide. You will now be able to use your USB printer only from this computer. To print a test page, click Windows Start, Control Panel, and then Printers and Faxes (This may be slightly different depending on your operating system). Right-click the printer you just installed, select Properties, 3 and then click Print Test Page. This will verify a valid connection with your printer. Step Five: If you want, you can now move your printer and the Wireless USB Print Server to a different location to use the wireless capabilities. Disconnect the USB cable, the Ethernet cable, and the power adapters of the Wireless USB Print Server and your printer. When you have the print server and the printer located where you want them, use the USB cable to connect the print server to the printer and plug in both power adapters. The print server should now establish a wireless connection to your wireless router or access point. Repeat the Print Test Page instructions at the end of Step 4. If you are able to print, your wireless connection is working correctly. If you are not able to print the test page, there is a problem with your wireless connection. Refer to the Troubleshooting section in this guide. Step Six: To allow other computers on your network to print to the Wireless USB Print Server, you must perform the client computer installation procedure on each computer. Insert the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. You may need the Installation CDROM that came with your printer. Note: If your CD-ROM does not automatically launch, click Windows Start, Run, type D:\autorun (if your CD-ROM drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of "D"), and click OK. Click Additional Installs and then click Next. Click User and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the Print Server software. You will then be prompted to install the PTP driver.
