DP-100 Multiprotocol Ethernet Print Server User's Guide Installing the DP-100 WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the DP100 is powered up without first establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at the configuration stage. 1. Confirm proper operation of each of the printers to be connected to the DP-100. If you test your printers by printing test files directly from a PC, then make each printer's test connection to the PC through the same port (serial or parallel) as the one you plan to use in connecting to the DP-100. 2. When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power off. 3. Confirm that your network is operating normally. 4. Connect the DP-100 to the network cable, using either the RJ-45 (10Base-T) or BNC (10Base2) connector on the print server's side panel. 5. While each printer is powered off, connect its tested and confirmed port with a like printer port of the DP-100. If you are connecting fewer than three printers, then keep in mind that parallel- port connections are preferred for high-performance printers. 6. Switch on each connected printer. 7. Plug the DC power adapter's DC output plug into the DC 12V power socket on the side panel of the DP-100. 8. Plug the power adapter into an electric service outlet. This will supply power to the DP-100, as it has no external power switch. The Unpacking and Installation 7
