  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction The D-Link DP-301P+ Print Server is a packet size print server that connects to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. The DP-301P+ manages the flow of print files from workstations or file servers to connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.
  • Page 6 Because the DP-301P+ is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users. The DP-301P+ offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols: TCP/IP UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT/2000,...

  • Page 7: External Features

    External Features Port Connectors The DP-301P+’s parallel port is located on its front panel. The port is configurable using the Web Configuration Interface or the print server’s Telnet interface. The Print Server’s Web configuration permits users to configure settings through the web browser.

  • Page 8: Rear Panel Connectors

    Rear Panel Connectors Network Cable Connector The Print Server’s rear panel feature 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.

  • Page 9: Led Indicators

    LED Indicators The rear panel of the print server features three LED indicators: Steady green confirms that the Print Server is powered ON. Lights up to indicate printing activity. Steady green confirms that the Print Server has a good connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.

  • Page 10: Front Panel

    Front Panel Parallel Port Connector The front panel of the print server features the parallel port connector. Plug this connector directly into the parallel port on your network printer. There is no need for a parallel port cable between the print server and your network printer.

    Setting up the DP-301P+ Installing the Print Server WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the Print Server is powered up without first establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at the configuration stage. 1. Confirm proper operation of the printers to be connected to the DP-301P+. 2.

  • Page 12: Power On Self-Test

    Power ON Self-Test Every DP-301P+ has been factory-tested to operate properly. When the DP-301P+ is powered ON, it also automatically performs a Self-Test on each of its major components. The final result of the Self-Test is signaled by the state of the LPT LED indicator following the Self-Test. Preliminary to the actual component tests, the three LED indicators are tested to confirm their steady and flashing operation.
