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).

associate it with the NPS-520.

2.2.1 Printer Driver Installation and Association

ZyXEL NPS-520 Utility > NPS-520 Utility.

ENGLISH

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.

ENGLISH

13

" If you disable Auto Release, only that computer

can use the printer. Click Disconnect to

manually drop the connection.

are not configurable if your computer operating

system version is older then Windows 2000

SP4.

ENGLISH

" 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.

enable Auto Release and/or Auto Connect on

all Windows computers.

3 Web Configurator

the URL.

ENGLISH

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

V 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.

ENGLISH

" We recommend you give the NPS-520 a static

IP address or configure your DHCP server to
