Introduction

The D-Link DP-301P+ Print Server is a pocket 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.

The DP-301P+ includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to ensure seamless connection to major networking operating systems.

The DP-301P+ has a built in Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-301P+ also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.

The DP-301P+ improves network printing services in the following ways:

The DP-301P+ manages print file traffic. 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.
Because the DP-301P+ is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and the 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, Sun OS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98SE/Me, Windows XP NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote Printing

NetBEUI

Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/Me, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server

AppleTalk

Mac OS 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 configuration and management via the Telnet protocol for networks without Windows-compatible machines.

External Features

Port Connectors

The DP-301P+'s parallel port is located on its front panel. The port can be configured using the PS Admin program or the print server's Telnet interface. (See the PS Admin User's Guide, available on the CD that came with the DP-301P+, for information about configuring the print server's ports.) The print server also supports web configuration permitting users to configure settings through the web browser. The default IP address is as follows:

■ Default IP address – 192.168.0.10

■ Subnet mask – 255.255.255.0

Note:

The PC's IP address must be in the same subnet as the print server's IP address for the two devices to communicate. (For example, if your print server's IP address is 192.168.0.10, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your computer's IP address should be 192.168.0.x, where x is a value between 1-254, excluding 10.)

Rear Panel

Ethernet Port - 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 CAT5 twisted-pair cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the print server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network. Use this port to connect to your network router.

Power - DC Power Connector

The DC power input connector is located on the print server's rear panel .

LED Indicators

The back panel of the print server features three LED indicators:

ACT - Lights up to indicate activity on the network.

LPT - Lights up to indicate printing activity.

I - Lights up to indicate that the DP-301P+ is powered ON.

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. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, switch its power
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4. Connect the DP-301P+ RJ-45 Connector to the network, using an Ethernet CAT5 cable.
5. While the printer is powered OFF, install the DP-301P+ parallel port connector into the parallel port on the network printer.
   Switch on the connected printer.6.
6. Plug the AC power adapter's DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on 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.

Power ON Self-Test

Every DP-301P+ has been factory-tested to operate properly.

Whenever the DP-301P+ is powered up, two testing procedures follow automatically. The first procedure is a programmed series of flashes intended to confirm proper operation of the LED indicators. The second procedure comprises programmed tests of the DP-301P+'s internal circuitry. If any fault is found during the circuitry tests, testing stops and a continuous pattern of flashes signals the nature of the fault.

Indicator Test

Immediately upon power-up, the 1 (Power) and LPT indicators will illuminate steadily in green for several seconds. Then the LPT indicator will become dark 1 while the (Power) indicator remains steady. Irregularity of any indicator during this test indicates that there is a problem with the indicators themselves.

Circuit Tests

The circuit tests immediately follow the indicator test. A normal (no fault) result is signaled by three flashes of the LPT indicator and the start of normal print server operation. If any error condition is found during the circuit tests, testing will halt with the LPT indicator continuously signaling the particular error according to the following table:

LPT LED Flash Pattern Error Type
Steady long flashes	Firmware Reload Required
Continuously on	DRAM Error
One long, two short flashes	Timer INT error
One long, three short flashes	Flash Protected
One long, five short flashes	Flash Erase/Program error
One long, six short flashes	LAN Controller error
One long, eight short flashes	Parallel Controller Error
One long, nine short flashes	LPT Error
One long, fourteen short flashes	LAN PHY error

In the event of a Firmware Reload Required error at startup, proceed according to instructions given in the PS Admin User's Guide ("PS Admin Administration" section, under the heading "Upgrading the Print Server's Internal Firmware").

The PS Admin software includes a Print Test function for confirmation of print server connections and functions. This operational test can be performed after you have installed the PS Admin software and completed the PS Admin procedures for configuring the DP-301P+. See the instructions given in the PS Admin Users Guide ("Getting Started Setting up Your Print Server" section, under the heading "Testing your Print Server").

Setting up AppleTalk Printing in Mac OS 9

Note: Mac OS printing is supported for Postscript printers only!

The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the Macintosh operating system. It can be used for network communications over standard Ethernet or Fast Ethernet using the EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary LocalTalk transport.

Your print server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can print from any Mac OS computer connected to your Ethernet network, either directly using an EtherTalk connection, or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.

NOTE: The chooser name of a printer connected to one of the print server's ports is the same as its port name. If you are using AppleTalk printing, you will need to make sure that every port name is unique among all of the network printers in your AppleTalk zone. The port names shown in this manual are examples only.

Setting up the print server for AppleTalk Printing

To set up your print server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:

Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh.
Change the IP address on one of the computers on your network to 192.168.0.x, where x is any number between 11-254, excluding 10.
Type 192.168.0.10 into the address field of your web browser. 192.168.0.10 is the default IP address of the DP-301P+.
Select the Network tab and scroll to the bottom to the AppleTalk protocol section.
If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you will have to specify which zone the print server should be in. You should locate the print server in the same zone as most of the users who will be using it. If your network is not divided into zones, the AppleTalk Zone field should contain a single asterisk “*”.

Printing from Mac OS Client Workstations

The exact procedure for selecting a PostScript printer connected to your print server may vary slightly, depending on what printer driver version you are using. The procedure described below assumes you are using the LaserWriter 8.

To choose a printer connected to your print server as your Mac OS workstation's default printer,

Open the chooser by selecting Chooser from the Apple menu.

Select the LaserWriter 8 icon on the left. Make sure that AppleTalk is set to Active.

A list of all networked PostScript printers will be displayed:

Double-click the name of the printer port you wish to use. The printer ports shown are examples only.

Printing from Mac OS Client Workstations (continued)

If you have not previously set this printer as the default, your computer will prompt you for a PostScript Printer Description file. Choose Select PPD.

Select the appropriate printer description file for your printer.

Click Open.

(If your printer is not listed, click Generic to use a generic printer description.)

If you wish to access this setting in the future, you can use the Setup button in the Chooser window.

The selected printer will become your computer's default printer. You may need to choose Page Setup in any applications you have open.
