0 A BOUT T HIS G UIDE This manual describes the DP-300+ Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Multiprotocol Print Server, including a description of the print server’s features, as well as the print server installation procedures and troubleshooting self-test results. For information about software configuration of the DP-300+ to allow it to be used with your network, consult the Print Server Administration User’s Guide included with your DP-300+.
1 1 INTRODUCTION The DP-300+ Print Server is a compact print server which connects to your Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your workstations or file servers to its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.
DP-300+ Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide DP-300+ Print Server Features DP-300+ print servers improve network printing services in three ways: ♦ The DP-300+ picks up the workload of managing print file traffic to its connected printers. This provides workload relief to your file servers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be used for file access or other direct services to network users.
Unix lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT/2000/XP LPR for Windows 95/98/Me Ne tWare 5.x NDPS LPR remote printing ♦ NetBEUI Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98/Me, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server ♦ AppleTalk MacOS EtherTalk Windows-based setup and administration software, PS Admin, is supplied with the DP-300+, making configuration and management quick and easy.
DP-300+ Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide Port Connectors The DP-300+’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Two identical parallel ports are labeled LPT1 and LPT2; the single serial port is labeled COM. These printer ports are independently configurable using the PS Admin program or the print server’s telnet interface. (See the Print Server Administration User’s Guide for information about configuring the print server’s ports.
Network Cable Connector The DP-300+’s right side panel features an RJ-45 connector for connection to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 twisted-pair cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the print server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network. DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the DP-300+’s right side panel and is labeled DC 5V.
DP-300+ Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide ♦ Power/Tx ◊ Steady or flashing green confirms that the DP-300+ is powered on. ◊ The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the DP300+ is transmitting to the network. ♦ Link/Rx ◊ Steady or flashing green confirms that the DP-300+ has a good connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. ◊ The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the DP300+ is receiving from the network.
Next, slide one bracket onto each end of the device as shown in the diagram below. Be sure each bracket is positioned correctly. Note when clicking each brack et into place, the round feet on the bottom of the device will line up with the round holes on the bracket. The brackets are designed to fit snugly in place. Please do not force them. The brackets are now ready for stacking devices. See the diagram below.
DP-300+ Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide 2 2 U NPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter explains how to install your DP-300+ print server and connect it to the network. It also describes the print server self test indications, and tells how to wall-mount your print server. Unpacking and Inspecting the Print Server Carefully remove all items from the package.
♦ One Multi-language Quick Installation Guide If any item is missing, or if you find any damage or mismatch, promptly contact your dealer for assistance. Installing the DP-300+ WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the DP300+ is powered up without first establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at the configuration stage. 1. Confirm proper operation of each of the printers to be connected to the DP-300+.
DP-300+ Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide 5. While each printer is powered off, connect its tested and confirmed port to a like printer port of the DP-300+. If you are connecting fewer than three printers, then keep in mind that parallel- port connections are preferred for high-performance printers. 6. Switch on each connected printer. 7. Plug the DC power adapter’s DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on the side panel of the DP-300+. 8.
Contact your dealer for correction of any LED problems before proceeding. The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A normal (no fault) result is signaled by a series of three cycles of sequential flashing of the three LEDs, followed by a quiescent state with all three LEDs dark. If the self-test routine traps any component error, then following the LED tests the self-test will halt and the LED’s will continuously signal the error according to the following table.

That operational test can be completed after you have installed the PS Admin software, and have configured your DP-300+ and its ports.

Parallel Ports The following table lists the pinouts of the print server’s 25-pin parallel port connector (identical to the connector used on most personal computers), as well as the 36-pin Centronics connector used on most printers. Signal names beginning with n are active -low signals.
