[. . . ] Die Netzanschluteckdose muß aus Grden der elektrischen Sicherheit einen Schutzleiterkontakt haben. 7. Verlegen Sie die Netzanschlueitung so, daß niemand darer fallen kann. Alle Hinweise und Warnungen die sich am Geren befinden sind zu beachten. Wird das Ger er einen lgeren Zeitraum nicht benutzt, sollten Sie es vom Stromnetz trennen. [. . . ] The TE100-PS1's IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed bidirectional parallel printer port can transmit to high-speed laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. Because the TE100-PS1 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and because the TE100- Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide PS1connects to your file servers through the network, the printer can be stationed at the location of maximum convenience to users. The TE100-PS1 offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols: IPX/SPX Novell NetWare 3. x, 4. x (Using either bindery emulation or native NDS) TCP/IP UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT NetBEUI Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server AppleTalk MacOS EtherTalk Your TE100-PS1 package includes TRENDnet EtherPort Admin, a Windows-based setup and administration program, which makes configuration and management of your print servers quick and easy in a Windows environment. The TE100-PS1 also has a Telnet interface for management communications. If Windows is not available on the station you choose for print server administration, then all configuration and management commands may be issued to the TE100-PS1, and all console messages and management report information will be returned, via Telnet. 2 Introduction Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide External Features This section describes the external features of the TE100-PS1 print server. Rear Panel The TE100-PS1 printer port, network port, and power input socket are all located on the rear panel TE100-PS1 Rear Panel Printer Port The printer port, labeled LPT, is configurable by commands in the PS Admin program, or by commands issued to the TE100-PS1 via Telnet. See the TRENDnet EtherPort Admin User's Guide for configuration procedures. Introduction 3 Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide Network Port The network port (RJ-45 receptacle) provides for connection to the network through 10Base-T Ethernet cabling, or Category 5 twisted-pair cable for 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet. This port has auto-negotiation (NWay) functionality, which enables the TE100PS1 to automatically negotiate and set its data rate to the highest rate allowed by its network. DC Power Input The DC power input socket has the label: The power supply included in your TE100-PS1 package is correct for the TE100-PS1. Substitution of other equipment may void warranty. LED Indicators The front panel of the TE100-PS1 comprises three LED indicators: Power/Tx Link/Rx LPT See "Power-up and Self-Test, " Chapter 2, for LED indications upon starting up the TE100-PS1. During operations following a normal startup, the LED indicators provide the following status signals: Power/Tx Steady or flashing green confirms power on. This indicator blinks (briefly dark) when the TE100-PS1 is transmitting to the network. Link/Rx Steady or flashing green confirms that the TE100-PS1 has a good connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. This indicator blinks (briefly dark) when the TE100-PS1 is receiving from the network. 4 Introduction Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide LPT This indicator shows steady green while the TE100-PS1 is transferring print data through its printer port Introduction 5 2 2 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter explains how to install your TE100-PS1 print server and connect it to the network. It also describes the automatic power-on self-test, and provides instructions for convenient Velcro mounting. Unpacking and Inspecting Carefully remove all items from the package. In addition to this Hardware Guide, be certain that you have: One TE100-PS1 print server One DC power adapter suitable for your electric power service Two TRENDnet EtherPort Admin diskettes One lpr software diskette One lpr user's guide Velcro strips for optional mounting If any item is missing, or if you find any damage or mismatch, promptly contact your dealer for assistance. for Windows software One Print Server Administration User's Guide Ether-P401 Print Server Hardware Guide Installing the TE100-PS1 Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of print-server operations with your TE100-PS1. Please take particular notice of the warning in step 4: the network connection should be made before supplying power to the TE100-PS1. Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected to the TE100-PS1. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, switch its power off. [. . . ] The bottom housing of the TE100-PS1 case features two corner markers which indicate the best location for applying the Velcro loop tape. Peel the white backing off of the loop tape, to expose its adhesive surface, and press it onto the bottom of the TE100-PS1, between the corner markers. Choose a mounting surface, and mounting attitude, which will afford convenient visual access to the TE100-PS1's LED indicators, without cramping any of the wiring connected to the TE100-PS1's rear panel. Align the hook tape to match the alignment of the loop tape when the TE100-PS1 is in the attitude you have chosen, and press the loop tape's adhesive back onto the mounting surface. [. . . ]
