9 Connectivity and network management The attachment ports on the printer provide a variety of options for connecting to other devices, whether directly or via a network. When combined with the versatility of the MarkVision printer utility, these options make the Optra W810 a powerful tool for all system environments. The printer has a standard parallel port and two Internal Solution Ports (ISPs). The ISPs support the following adapters: • MarkNet N2000 Series of internal print servers • MarkNet S internal print servers • Tri-port card • Parallel 1284-C adapter • USB/Parallel interface card • Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS Note: The Optra W810n and W810dn models ship with an Ethernet 10/100BaseTX print server already installed in one of the printer's ISPs. When one or two print servers are installed in the printer, the printer can be concurrently attached to multiple LANs (that is, Token-Ring, LocalTalk, and Ethernet) and other host computers (local attach-parallel and serial). In addition to these internal adapters, the printer also supports external print servers, such as the MarkNet Pro Series and the MarkNet XLe, that attach to the printer's parallel and serial port and provide connection to several types of networks. Each model has either a single parallel port or two high-speed parallel ports and a serial port. Virtually any parallel- or serial-capable printer can be attached to these ports and directly to the network. As with the internal print servers, external print servers support multiple protocols and multiple networking environments concurrently. Connectivity and network management 181
