GETTING STARTED

Your Monarch®9855®or 9860™Version 5.0 or greater printer

contains MonarchNet2™software, which allows you to access, configure,

and control your printers with the Monarch®7411™Ethernet Print Server

remotely across a LAN (local area network), WLAN (wireless local area

network), or WWW (world-wide web) connection.

Information in this document supercedes information in previous

versions. Check our Web site (www.monarch.com) for the latest release

and documentation information.

Overview

The Monarch®7411™Print Server lets you communicate with Monarch®

printers on an 802.11b and 802.11g wireless network or wired Ethernet

802.3 network. 802.11b/g refers to 802.11b and 802.11g in this manual.

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 54 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b/g wireless compatible network.

The wireless print server includes a dual-mode 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 print server.

Refer to your network manuals for more information. This manual does

not include information about setting up your wireless or wired network.

We recommend reviewing the terms in the glossary before you

begin.

Audience

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

on the network and is familiar with basic networking principles.

Chapter Contents

1 Getting Started Information you should know before using the

printer.

2 Configuring the

printer.

3 Using a Web Browser Using your Web browser to configure and monitor

4 Console Commands Lists the supported console commands for your

network printer.

5 Using the Smart Relay

printer.

6 Troubleshooting Common problems and their solutions.

A Specifications Printer and radio specifications.

G Glossary Networking and printer terms and their definitions.

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 mode).

♦ An 802.11b/g wireless access point allowing wireless and wired

Ethernet enabled computers to print to the print server (infrastructure

mode).

To configure and print, you need the following:

1. The MAC address from the label of the print server (for example:

004017023F96).

2. Obtain the following information from your wireless network

administrator:

Getting Started 1-3

♦ 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 DHCP server (for obtaining an IP address

automatically), you need a unique IP address for the wireless print

server (for example: 192.0.0.192) and a subnet mask. If the print

server is not on the same IP subnet as the computers you are printing

from, you need a router. A print server with an IP address of

192.0.0.192 will not be seen by a network looking for devices with a

prefix of 10.1.xxx.xxx. A router (default gateway) address is optional.

♦ Wireless security settings.

Supported Operating Systems

The print server supports multiple network protocols for users with

Microsoft®Windows®, Novell®NetWare®, NDS, and UNIX®.

Supported Network Protocols

♦ TCP/IP:

LPD/LPR

BOOTP

DHCP

HP JetDirect™

Raw TCP/IP (port 9100 or any chosen port)

NetWare (NEST)

NetBIOS over IP (with SMB)

NetBEUI

DLC

♦ Telnet

♦ RSH or REMSH (remote shell)

♦ WINS

♦ DHCP

♦ FTP

♦ SNMP

All protocols are simultaneously active.

1-4 MonarchNet2 Operating Instructions

Setting Up the Print Server

For MonarchNet2 to operate, make sure the print server is set to use the

printer’s internal parallel port and use bi-directional communications.

If this is not already set for you:

1. From the printer’s Main Menu, select Setup, Port Settings, Parallel

Comm., Port, and press or until you see Internal.

Press Enter/Pause to save the setting.

2. Then, press to display Mode. Press Enter/Pause. Press or 

until you see IEEE1284. Press Enter/Pause to save the setting.

3. Press Escape/Clear until you see the Main Menu.

Note: MonarchNet2 uses the printer’s internal parallel port.

You can switch between MonarchNet2 and using the parallel port, but

you must set the Port to External and the Mode to Compatible. Then,

turn off the printer and turn it back on to detect the cable. MonarchNet2

is not available until you disconnect the parallel cable and change the

Port to Internal and Mode to IEEE1284.

The serial and USB port are still active. However, allow a two-second

delay when switching from one port (serial, Ethernet, or USB) to another.
