1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing and using our 802.11g Wireless LAN
MFP server. This MFP server allows your Multi-function, all-in-one
printer (called for short: MFP) or printer to become a shared device
on the network. Unlike many print servers, it can communicate with
MFP and printer as if it is connected directly to your computer.
Because of the features, all users can share print, scan, card
reader and fax functions through the network. Furthermore, the
MFP Server can build the bi-directional communication with MFPs
and Printers so that it can help to monitor important information
such as ink levels and paper levels.
The MFP server supports print, scan, card reader and fax sharing
functions in the most popular operating systems: Windows 2000
SP4 above, Windows XP SP1 above and Windows Vista. It also
supports Windows XP and Vista scanning utility and MFP vendors’
scanning utilities. When you want to scan in the Windows XP or
Vista, you can choose one of the utilities.
Not only be a MFP Server, this MFP Server can also be a
traditional print server. It supports TCP/IP network protocol and
LPR, RAW and IPP printing protocols. It can share print function in
the various common network operating systems including
Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, Unix, Linux and MAC OS 9.x
above.
This MFP Server (PS-1206MFg or PS-1208MFg only) provides
IEEE 802.11g/b wireless LAN (up to 54Mbps data transfer rate), an
Ethernet network port (10/100Mbps Ethernet) and one USB 2.0/1.1
port for MFP or printer. The MFP Server can be connected to your
802.11g/b wireless network or wired network. It is very convenient
and flexible to build up the MFP Server to your network
environment.

“WPA-None” specified for Ad Hoc mode. The wireless security
setting should be the same with other wireless devices in the same
network.
WEP Security Mode:
60
You can select “64 bit” or “128 bit” length and “Hexadecimal” or
“ASCII” format for the encryption key. Longer key length can
provide stronger security but worth communication performance.
PassPhraseA “PassPhrase” simplifies the WEP encryption
process by automatically generating the WEP encryption keys for
the MFP Server. This setting is only valid when the security mode
is in “WEP(HEX)”.
Key 1 to Key 4 – Enter four key values by following the rules
below and select one key as the default key.
If the key length is 64-bit, enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII
values as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or
“Guest“.
If the key length is 128-bit, enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit
ASCII values as the encryption keys. For example:
“01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator“.
61
WPA-shared key or WPA-None Security Mode:
“WPA-shared key” (for an infrastructure network) or “WPA-None”
(enables WPA security for your ad hoc network) requires users to
select the advanced encryption methods, i.e. TKIP or AES and
enter a set of shared key.
62
TKIP TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater
security than the standard WEP security.
AES AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of
security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most
advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the

13. UNIX/Linux System Network
The MFP Server is available for TCP/IP printing by Unix/Linux LPD
(Line Printer Daemon) protocol. This chapter explains how to set
the MFP Server with the LPD protocol in the Unix/Linux system.
Following describe two modes to configure the MFP Server. In the
GUI Mode, we follow the settings in the Fedora Core 4 system. If
you are in different system, you can refer to the configurations in
the Console Mode.
13.1 GUI Mode
1. Select “Printing” from “System Settings”.
120
2. Click “New” to add the MFP or printer with the MFP Server.
3. Click “Forward”.
125
13.2.2.1 DHCP
There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol,
and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are
different. Please refer to the manual of Unix/Linux for the way to
use different DHCP Server. It is highly recommended that the
DHCP server should be located on the same network as the MFP
Server.
13.2.2.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your
UNIX/LINUX system that is accessible by the MFP Server, you can
use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the MFP
Server. We recommend that the BOOTP server should be located
on the same subnet as the MFP Server. If you use Network
Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild
the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following
BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your
system documentation.
To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will
need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root).
Perform the following steps to add address entries,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Servers
IP address. You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by
adding a line such as:
203.66.191.12 pserver
129
