For information about software configuration of the Print Server to allow it to be used with your network, consult the PS Admin User's Guide included with your Print Server. About This Guide v 3 Parallel Port Multiprotocol Wireless Print Server User' Guide s 1 1 INTRODUCTION The Print Server is a compact wireless print server which connects to your network through an access point under the infrastructure mode or can be used in ad-hoc mode for direct communication between PC/Notebook and print server anywhere you wish to locate wireless 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. Print Server Features The Print Server improve network printing services in three ways: The Print Server 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. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without increasing the load of another workstation or server. 1 Introduction The Print Server's parallel printer ports are IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed b-directional ports, which can transmit to high-speed laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. High-speed laser printers connected to the Print Server's parallel ports can be operated at their full capacity. Because the Print Server is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and because the Print Server connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users. The Print Server offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols: IPX/SPX Novell NetWare 3. x, 4. x, 5. x (Using either bindery emulation or native NDS) TCP/IP UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT, Windows 2000/98/95/Me NetBEUI Windows NT, Windows 2000/98/95/Me, Windows Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server AppleTalk MacOS EtherTalk Windows-based setup and administration software, PS Admin, is supplied with the Print Server, making configuration and management quick and easy. The Print Server also supports for 2 Introduction 3 Parallel Port Multiprotocol Wireless Print Server User' Guide s configuration and management via the telnet protocol for networks without Windows-compatible machines. External Features This section describes the externally visible features of the Print Server. Port Connectors The Print Server's three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Three identical parallel ports are labeled LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3. These printer ports are independently configurable using the PS Admin program or the print server's telnet interface. (See the PS Admin User's Guide for information about configuring the print server's ports. ) DC 5V 2. 4A LPT3 LPT2 LPT1 802. 11 Cfg ESS-ID Ad hoc Reset ProPrietary Any ESS-ID Infra Rear Panel Wireless DIP Switch The Print Server's rear panel features a DIP switch allowing two different modes of ad-hoc and infrastructure. In ad-hoc mode there are 2 types of settings, 802. 11 ad-hoc mode and Proprietary ad-hoc mode where there is direct communication between PC/Notebook and print server. Introduction 3 Under infrastructure mode there are 2 types of settings, Cfg ESS-ID mode and Any ESS-ID mode where communication between PC/Notebook and print server is through the Access Point acting as a bridge between wired and wireless network. Cfg ESS-ID (Configured ESS-ID) · Connect to Access Point with ESS-ID · Default ESS-ID is `default' Any ESS-ID · Connect to Access Point with any ESS-ID close to the unit Reset Button Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and the LPT1, LPT2 & LPT3 begins to flash. Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed for three seconds or when the LPT1, LPT2 & LPT3 begins to light up. Release the reset button and LPT1, LPT2 & LPT3 will begin to flash indicating the print server is changing to factory reset. [. . . ] 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. In the event of any such error signal, contact your dealer for correction of the faulty unit.

That operational test can be completed after you have installed the PS Admin software, and have configured your Print Server and its ports. [. . . ]
