Network Cable Connector
The Print Server°s rear 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 Print Server°s rear panel and is
labeled DC 5V.
LED Indicators
The front panel of the Print Server features five LED indicators:

Power
Steady or flashing green confirms that the Print Server is powered
ON
.
Link/Act
Steady or flashing green confirms that the Print Server has a good
connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.
The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the Print Server is
receiving or transmitting from the network.

These three indicators are also used by the Print Server°s Power-

Setting up the DP-300U
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.
!
!
These LED indicators light to show that the Print Server is transferring
print data through the appropriate parallel port or USB port.
Confirm proper operation of each of the printers to be connected to the
DP-300U.
1.
When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power
OFF
.
2.
Confirm that your network is operating normally.
3.
Connect the DP-300U RJ-45 Connector to the network, using an Ethernet
CAT5 cable.
4.
While each printer is powered
OFF
, install the corresponding parallel or USB
printer cable to connect the printer°s parallel port or USB port to the printer port of
the Print Server.
5.
Switch on each connected printer.
6.
Plug the AC power adapter°s DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on
the rear panel of the Print Server.
7.
Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the Print
Server, as it has no external power switch. The green Power LED on the Print
Server°s front panel should illuminate steadily, and the Print Server°s Self-Test
will proceed.
8.

Immediately after power-up, all five of the green LEDs should illuminate steadily
for several seconds.
Then the USB, LPT1 and LPT2 LEDs should flash
ON
simultaneously three times.
Irregularity of any of the three LEDs during these
LED tests may mean there is a problem with the LEDs themselves.
The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests.
A normal (no fault)
result is signaled by a simultaneous flashing of these 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 LEDs 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.
When the DP-300U 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 USB, LPT1 and LPT2 LED indicators following the Self-Test.
Preliminary to the actual component tests, the three LED indicators are tested to
confirm their steady and flashing operation.

Getting Started
Below is a sample network using the DP-300U. The DP-300U has a built- in
Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and
manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.
Warning!
Only a USB printer may be connected to the USB port of the
DP-300U. Do not
connect any other USB devices to the USB port of the DP-300U; to do so, may
damage the unit and will void the warranty for this product.

Printer
For a list of printers that are compatible with the DP-300U, please see the
Appendix
in this manual. The compatibility list is not comprehensive. Even if it
is not included in the list,
your printer may be compatible with the DP-300U.

When you entered the default IP address, the main screen of the Print Server°s
configuration will appear (see below).
In addition to the product information, you can
access and control the Print Server°s configuration through four links on the top of
this main screen:
Home,
Configuration, Network
,
Tools
, and
Help
.
Open your web browser and type
in the address box, and
press <Enter>.
This set of numbers is the default IP Address of your Print Server.
Please note that the PC°s IP Address must correspond with the Print
Server°s IP Address in the same segment for the two devices to
communicate.
