GENERAL INFORMATION
The BayTech PS-4 print server models are high performance network
print servers that support up to four peripherals including printers,
modems, and other asynchronous devices. The PS-4A has four parallel
ports, the PS-4C has four serial ports, and the PS-4E has two parallel
and two serial ports. The BayTech LaserShare Network PS-MIO is a
network print server card which installs into the MIO slot of the HP
LaserJet Series IIISi and Series 4/4Si laser printers. The BayTech print
server is typically used as an alternative to a value-added process (VAP)
or NetWare loadable module (NLM) print server. These units emulate
PSERVER operation and eliminate the need to run PSERVER on your
file servers or on dedicated workstations.
Each BayTech print server complies with either the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
standard or the IEEE 802.5 Token Ring standard. The IEEE 802.3
models may be modified to support the 802.2 frame type. All models are
compatible with file servers running Novell NetWare 3.XX and 4.XX using
normal NetWare commands and utilities (i.e., PCONSOLE, CAPTURE,
and NPRINT). You may use an Ethernet 10BASE2 (thin coax), 10BASE-
T (twisted pair), or a DB-9/RJ-11 (Token Ring) network interface
depending on the specific model purchased.
The BayTech print server services up to 32 print queues distributed on as
many as 32 file servers and does not require user configuration to locate
its file servers. Communication with each file server is independent of
communication with any other file server. An optional "Preferred Server"
mode of operation instructs the print server to login to a single file server
and read a list of other file servers containing print queues for it to
service. This is helpful for large networks with many file servers or a
network with a bridge connected.
