2-2 Installation

Connecting Devices to the Print Server

The Model PS104 Print Server has four 10BASE-T network ports. The Model PS105 Print Server

has four 10BASE-T network ports and one BNC network port. The Model PS110 and Model

PS113 Print Server each has one 10/100BASE-T network port that is autosensing and will support

either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connections, depending on the connected device. The 10/100BASE-T

network port operates in half-duplex mode.

Ports 2 through 4 on the Model PS104 Print Server are permanently conﬁgured for MDI-X wiring;

port 1 can be set to MDI (Uplink) or MDI-X (Normal) by using the Normal/Uplink push button

switch. The BNC port 1 on the Model PS105 Print Server is for network connections with BNC

cabling. The BNC-T connection included in the package contents must be used with the coaxial

cable for a 10BASE 2 connection to other network devices that have a BNC port. To terminate the

connection on the last device in the network segment, you must use the BNC terminator, which is

included in the package contents. The one network port on the Model PS110 and Model PS113

Print Server is permanently conﬁgured for Uplink wiring.

Refer to T

able 2-1 for setting the Normal/Uplink push button switch and for selecting either a

crossover or straight-through cable when connecting your print server to other devices.
