How to use the Bi-Admin Utility on the Print servers?

Applies to all the print servers from Linksys by Cisco [WPSM54G, WPS54G, WPS54GU2 etc..]
How do I configure my Linksys PrintServer using the Bi-Admin Management Utility?

A Utility program called Bi-Admin manages the PrintServer on the Network. It is compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, XP and Novell NetWare. Bi-Admin allows you to change the PrintServer’s internal settings, check on the unit’s status, and perform basic diagnostic tests.

There are five major settings on your PrintServer that you may need to configure to use the BiAdmin Management Utility:

Detecting the PrintServer

Assigning an IP Address on the PrintServer

Changing the PrintServer’s Password

Checking Printer Status

Configuring the PrintServer’s Wireless Settings

To use the Bi-Admin Management Utility, please follow the steps below.

Detecting the PrintServer

NOTE: Make sure the printer drivers are installed on the PC and you have an active network connection. Ensure the Bi-Admin Management Utility is installed on your computer. To install the Bi-Admin Utiliy, explore the contents of the CD, look for the Bi-Admin folder and run the Bi-Admin setup.exe.

Step 1:
Click Start on your toolbar, then All Programs. Select Print Server Utility from the Program menu, then BiAdmin Management Utility.

NOTE: If the Bi-Admin icon has been created, you can double-click it instead.

Step 2:
When the Connected Protocol window appears, make sure the TCP/IP is checked, then click OK.

Step 3:
The Bi-Admin Management Utility will automatically scan the network for available Wireless PrintServer hardware.

NOTE: If the Bi-Admin Management utility cannot detect the PrintServer, you need to :

Check if the printserver is powered on.

Ensure all firewalls on your computer are disabled.

Make sure there is a DHCP server on the network.

Step 4:
After it detects the PrintServer, the Bi-Admin Management Utility will display the PrintServer name and details.

Step 5:
Enter your PrintServer’s password (“admin” is the default password), then click OK.

NOTE: If the PrintServer’s password has been changed, type the PrintServer’s new password instead.

The PrintServer’s password can be changed by:

Running the PrintServer’s setup CD.

Changing it on the PrintServer’s web-based setup page.

If you forgot the PrintServer‘s password, you may reset the PrintServer to default settings.

Step 6:
Select the adapter you are using to connect to the PrintServer from the Adapter Card Lists, then click OK.

Assigning an IP Address on the PrintServer

The Linksys PrintServer uses a dynamic default IP Address. To configure a static IP on your Linksys PrintServer, follow the steps below.

Step 1:
Click Main then select Configure.

Step 2:
Click TCP/IP.

Step 3:
Select Fixed IP Address and enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in the fields provided. In this example the IP address “192.168.1.78”, the Subnet Mask “255.255.255.0 and the Gateway Address “192.168.1.1” were used.

NOTE: Make sure the IP Address you’ll be assigning the PrintServer has the same first 3 numbers as the IP Address and the last number can be any number between 2 and 99. In this example, the IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. After attaching any number between 2 and 99, the IP address of the PrintServer will be 192.168.1.78.

Changing the PrintServer’s Password

The Linksys PrintSever uses “admin” for a default password. If you want to change it for security reasons, follow the steps below.

Step 1:
Click Main, then select Configure.

Step 2:
When the Configuration window appears, select Change Device Password.

Step 3:
Enter the new password you want and retype the same password to confirm then click OK.

How to use CIT300 with Windows Vista ?

How to use CIT300 with Windows Vista ?

• Have Skype installed and running
• Install the XP CIT-300 driver, do not launch CIT 300 yet. If the installer does not wish to install because of whatever it wishes to not like, install the software on some XP box and copy the c:\Program Files\Linksys folder someplace onto drive C and create a shortcut
• Find cit300.exe in c:\Program Files\Linksys\CIT300\ (or Program Files (x86), in case of 64-bit windows). Go into Properties, Compatibility, and select "Run this program in compatibility mode", select XP service pack 2. On the bottom of the same windows you _may_ have to select "Run this program as administrator".
• In case you have the base all plugged in at this moment - unplug the power cord to the base, count to 5, and plug it back in. Not the USB cord. The back of the base is convenient spot, one-hand operation.
• Plug the base in if you didn't have it plugged in and let windows install the sound driver if it wishes.
• Launch CIT300.exe. Tell skype to allow connections. Newer versions of Skype require two confirmations - one on the little pop-up and another in the events area.
• If all goes well, CIT300 will say that if found the base and all is well. Press the "Skype" button on the phone to see your contacts. It takes sometimes a minute and a few button presses to get the entire list to the phone. If are still getting "UNAVAILABLE" on the handset, you probably messed up one of the step. Close CIT300.exe, power cycle the base, exhale, and launch CIT300 again. You will probably have to adjust sound settings in Skype options to have mic and speaker go to CIT-300. Everything works just fine !

Important : Every time you restart your computer or reboot, you must do the step 3 - unplug the base power and plug in again. Unplugging USB doesn't always work. At least my CIT-300 base has some USB connection bug that requires the power cycle. I would advise against putting CIT300.exe in Startup, because you'll have to shut it down to power cycle the base anyway.

SPA FAQs !

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS SPA

1. Asterisk proxy configuration
Linksys recommends the online resource Getting Started with Asterisk by Andy Powell.

2. SPA device rings periodically
By default, the SPA device will ring periodically to indicate that you have voice mail. To disable this feature, go to the User 1 (or User 2) tab and set VMWI Ring Splash Len to "0".

3. Trouble accessing the voice menu after pressing ****
Please disconnect the Ethernet cable, and try accessing the IVR again. If successful, this indicates a mis-configuration on your network setting. Verify that your gateway IP address and DNS are correct and reachable.

4. Lost web password for SPA device
To reset your SPA device to the factory default values, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Disconnect the Ethernet cable
Step 2: Access the voice menu (****) and press 73738#.
Step 3: Login with the username "user" when accessing to http://spa-ip-address OR login with "admin" when accessing http://spa-ip-address/admin/.

NOTE: Resetting your unit will erase all the configuration settings. If your SPA device was provisioned by a service provider, the reset function might be password protected. Contact your service provider.

5. Enable Admin web access (http) from the phone.
Proceed to the IVR (voice menu) and enter option 723646#. To enable web administration access, enter "1" and to disable, enter "0". This is useful if the web access was originally set to "No" from the web, and you want to enable it through the phone.

6. IVR options for network settings without DHCP server

* DHCP (101#, 0=disable, 1=enable)
* IP Address (111# to set, 110# to check)
* Netmask (121#), Gateway (131#)
* Primary DNS (161# to set, 160# to check)

7. Troubleshoot upgrade utility
When you run the upgrade utility from the computer, the embedded upgrade file is sent via port 69, 70, or 71 (and so on) if available. The upgrade will begin when the SPA device is not in use.

If upgrade hangs at "...Firmware upload will begin only when SPA is idle" verify the following:

o Phone properly hung up on both lines.
o Any firewall software (such as Internet Connection Firewall) is disabled on the PC.
o The PC and SPA device are on the same LAN subnet. The upgrade won't work if the PC is behind a wireless router and the SPA device is in front of the router.

8. Internet access for a SPA device behind a router using NAT
Configure your router to forward "TCP port 80" to the IP address currently being used by SPA device. If you do this often, we suggest you use a static IP address on the SPA device, instead of DHCP.

To access the web page of the SPA device from outside, connect to the external IP address of your router. To determine the external IP address of the router, you must be in your home network and check the WAN address of your router.

NOTE: For help with port forwarding, please consult your router's manual/documentation.


9. Obtain password for locked SPA device
You can reset the password using the steps in answer 4 above.

NOTE: Resetting your unit will erase all the configuration settings and the device will revert to factory defaults. Linksys recommends contacting your service provider or requesting the password from whoever provided the device.

10. My SPA device is behind a router using NAT, I can call by IP and the other unit rings, but no voice?

From the Line tab setting, change Nat Mapping Enable to "Yes". On the SIP tab, change Substitute VIA Addr to "Yes", and EXT IP to the router's WAN IP address. Alternatively, you can try to use STUN.

NOTE: STUN will not work with symmetric NAT routers.

11. Troubleshoot dial tone issues
A dial tone signal requires successful registration with your service provider's proxy. Registration Status is displayed on the info page of the web GUI.

If there is no dial tone:

o Check cable connections and verify Internet connectivity.
o Reboot the unit. If dial tone returns, perhaps the WAN IP changed and the SPA device did not re-register. Try to reduce Registration Expires to less than the default (3600mins).


12. Forums and discussion groups for SPA products and troubleshooting
There are several forums and discussions groups available, such as: forums.linksys.com, http://www.voxilla.com/, ip-phone-forum.de, and dslreports.com.


13. Sniffer software to capture Ethernet traffic for debugging purposes
There are several free sniffer software applications available on the Internet, such as WireShark. Connect your PC and the SPA device to a 10baseT Hub.


14. Why doesn't the SPA device dial immediately after I enter my destination number?
Press "#" or you can change the dialplan, so it has the exact pattern of the numbers you are dialing. Alternatively, you can also adjust the Interdigit Long Timer or Interdigit Short Timer.

The Interdigit Short Timer specifies the default maximum time (in seconds) allowed between dialed digits, when at least one candidate digit sequence is complete as dialed. The Interdigit Long Timer specifies the default maximum time (in seconds) allowed between dialed digits, when no candidate digit sequence is as yet complete.

NOTE: View DialPlan Parameters for an explanation of candidate digit sequences.


15. How does SPA indicate a disconnection when the device's FXS port is connected to PBX?
The SPA device will generate a Calling Party Control (CPC - disabled by default). To enable this function, proceed to the Web Configuration utility and from the Regional tab, change the value for the CPC duration to some value other than 0. When the SPA device is the called party, the CPC duration is the "voltage drop" duration before hearing dial tone again.

16. Disable blinking voicemail light on analog handset
Follow the following steps in order:

Step 1: Change VMWI Refresh Intvl to "0". This is to not refresh the VMWI status to the phone.
Step 2: Setup VMWI Ring Policy to "New VM Arrives". This will allow ringing only if the mailbox size grows.
Step 3: Change VMWI Ring Splash Len to "0". This is to disable ringing on the VWMI.
Step 4: Setup VMWI serv to "No". This is to disable the VMWI service entirely.


17. Troubleshoot UK phone that doesn't ring even after changing diff. impedance val.
Change Ring Waveform to "trapezoidal". If issue still persists, increase the Ring Voltage to 90. An example of an analog phone that requires this change is the Canadian Sanyo CLT-2418.
