Your TE100-PS1 package includes important software components, and additional user manuals. The software components, and procedures for installation and setup of the software, are covered in the TRENDnet EtherPort Admin User's Guide. 1 1 INTRODUCTION The TE100-PS1 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. Service Features TE100-PS1 print servers improve network printing services in three ways: The TE100-PS1picks 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. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the TE100-PS1 without increasing the load of another workstation or server. The TE100-PS1's IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed bidirectional parallel printer port can transmit to high-speed laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. A high-speed laser printer can be driven at its full capacity. Because the TE100-PS1 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and because the TE100- Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide PS1connects to your file servers through the network, the printer can be stationed at the location of maximum convenience to users. The TE100-PS1 offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols: IPX/SPX Novell NetWare 3. x, 4. x (Using either bindery emulation or native NDS) TCP/IP UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT NetBEUI Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server AppleTalk MacOS EtherTalk Your TE100-PS1 package includes TRENDnet EtherPort Admin, a Windows-based setup and administration program, which makes configuration and management of your print servers quick and easy in a Windows environment. The TE100-PS1 also has a Telnet interface for management communications. If Windows is not available on the station you choose for print server administration, then all configuration and management commands may be issued to the TE100-PS1, and all console messages and management report information will be returned, via Telnet. 2 Introduction Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide External Features This section describes the external features of the TE100-PS1 print server. Rear Panel The TE100-PS1 printer port, network port, and power input socket are all located on the rear panel TE100-PS1 Rear Panel Printer Port The printer port, labeled LPT, is configurable by commands in the PS Admin program, or by commands issued to the TE100-PS1 via Telnet. See the TRENDnet EtherPort Admin User's Guide for configuration procedures. Introduction 3 Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide Network Port The network port (RJ-45 receptacle) provides for connection to the network through 10Base-T Ethernet cabling, or Category 5 twisted-pair cable for 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet. This port has auto-negotiation (NWay) functionality, which enables the TE100PS1 to automatically negotiate and set its data rate to the highest rate allowed by its network. DC Power Input The DC power input socket has the label: The power supply included in your TE100-PS1 package is correct for the TE100-PS1. Substitution of other equipment may void warranty. LED Indicators The front panel of the TE100-PS1 comprises three LED indicators: Power/Tx Link/Rx LPT See "Power-up and Self-Test, " Chapter 2, for LED indications upon starting up the TE100-PS1. During operations following a normal startup, the LED indicators provide the following status signals: Power/Tx Steady or flashing green confirms power on. This indicator blinks (briefly dark) when the TE100-PS1 is transmitting to the network. Link/Rx Steady or flashing green confirms that the TE100-PS1 has a good connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. This indicator blinks (briefly dark) when the TE100-PS1 is receiving from the network. 4 Introduction Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide LPT This indicator shows steady green while the TE100-PS1 is transferring print data through its printer port Introduction 5 2 2 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter explains how to install your TE100-PS1 print server and connect it to the network. It also describes the automatic power-on self-test, and provides instructions for convenient Velcro mounting. Unpacking and Inspecting Carefully remove all items from the package. [. . . ] Choose a mounting surface, and mounting attitude, which will afford convenient visual access to the TE100-PS1's LED indicators, without cramping any of the wiring connected to the TE100-PS1's rear panel. Peel the white backing off of the hook tape. Align the hook tape to match the alignment of the loop tape when the TE100-PS1 is in the attitude you have chosen, and press the loop tape's adhesive back onto the mounting surface. Mount the TE100-PS1 by pressing its case firmly against the mounting surface to engage the hooks and loops of the Velcro tapes. 10 Unpacking and Installation A 3 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Printer Connection Printer Port: IEEE 1284 standard bi-directional parallel interface with 25-pin connector.
