Device name	Device letter	Description
Network printer
Network attached storage (NAS)
IP phone
Network security camera

Part 2: Install network printer

The next step is to install a network printer onto the system, as well as document the installation. You will complete this using a virtual machine (VM).

Follow the Instructions_for_virtual_machine.pdf in the resource folder to set up the VM.

You are required to record your completion of the tasks using screenshots and submit them as evidence for this assessment.

When taking screenshots:

Use the Snipping Tool (Windows), print screen or a video screen capture tool, such as Skype, to record your actions.
To show you are using your machine, use Sticky Notes (Windows) or an equivalent tool to record your name and ensure you capture the sticky note in the screen shot or recording.
For each of the tasks 1 to 9 below, take a screenshot of the process and a screenshot of the final setting. Place the screenshots into the box following each activity.
Your assessor will complete Observation checklist 1. Check the observation checklist to ensure that you’ve covered all the required tasks.

Tasks

You will be granting permissions to the Guest user, so once you have installed your virtual machine, you will need to make sure this is enabled, as follows:

Click on the Start icon and search for Computer Management.
Under Local Users and Groups, click Users.
Double-click Guest to open Properties.
Make sure Account is disabled is not checked.
Exit the virtual machine and restart it.

Complete the following tasks:

Install the Print Server.

Install the following printer as a network printer with manual settings, according to the operating system vendor approved method:
- Port: FILE: (Print to File)
- Model of printer: HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (this is a universal driver used for the HP Color LaserJet E87660)
- Printer name: Use an abbreviation for the printer name that indicates:
  - it belongs to Red Opal Innovations Multimedia Department
  - it’s the second printer in that department
- Ensure the printer is shared on the network
- Location: ROI Multimedia Department
- Comment: Main printer for ROI Multimedia
- Do not set as the default printer
- Print a test page (this will save a .prn file – name it Testpage1).

- Ensure the Everyone account has the following security permissions:
  - Print (Allow)
  - Manage Documents (Allow).

Ensure Guest account has the following security permissions (Hint: you may need to add the Guest user first):
- Print (Allow)
- Manage Documents (Deny)

Create printing shortcuts as follows. These are printing presets, not desktop shortcuts.

- it is the first shared drive in that department.

Configure security for your storage device so that the Guest user has Read access only.

Copy the docx file onto your storage device. You’ll need to do this outside of the virtual machine, so you’ll need to exit, copy, then restart the virtual machine. Open the test document in Notepad and print it to the networked printer. This will save a .prn file – name it as Testpage2.

Document the installation, configuration and testing of the installation using the Installation Completion form (ROI_Installation_comp.docx).

Part 4: Demonstrate peripheral devices

You need to demonstrate to a user how to use the peripherals that you’ve installed on the network in a demonstration of 5-10 minutes.
