Define networks

As users sign in to the Printix Client, computers are registered and you can start to build your network structure by adding networks.

  1. Select Menu > Networks .
  2. Select Unknown networks.

    The gateway with the most computers is at the top and is probably the one you want to work with.

    • To see diagrams and get a good understanding of networks, we recommend that you read Understanding networks.

    • If a CSV file with gateway IP and MAC addresses can be provided, Printix Configurator can be used to add networks. That way, you can add networks before computers are on them.

How to add a network/gateway from the computer properties page

This alternative method is useful if many unknown networks exist.

This method assumes you know of a computer that is on the network you want to add.

  1. If you know the name of the computer, go to step 5. Otherwise, Search for the user whose computer is on the unknown network.
  2. Enter part of the user's name or email.

    The search is not case-sensitive.

  3. Select and Info to see information about the user.
  4. Select the Computer (COMPIX) link to open the Computer properties page.
  5. On the Computer properties page, you can, for the gateway you want to add, either:

    • Select Select network to add the gateway to an existing network.

      • Select network. Optionally, enter part of the network name to Search for it. Select Select network.

    • Select Create new network to create a new network with this gateway.

      • Enter Network name and select Create new network.

    A computer with multiple network interfaces (Wi-Fi and LAN) is listed with a gateway for each of these.
