Introduction

The D-Link DP-300U is a Fast Ethernet print server that connects

to your Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate

printer services. The DP-300U 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 can. With two IEEE1284

parallel ports and one 1.1 USB port, DP-300U can connect to almost any make

and model printer on the market today.

The DP-300U 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-300U has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to

easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-

300U also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.

The DP-300U improves network printing services in the following ways:

!The DP-300U delegates print jobs to connected printers.

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.

!The DP-300U’s parallel printer ports are IEEE1284-compliant high-speed

bi-directional ports, which can transmit to high-speed laser printers much

faster than a PC’s parallel printer port. High-speed laser printers

connected to the Print Server’s parallel ports can be operated at their full

capacity.

!Because the DP-300U is very portable and inexpensive compared to a

PC-based print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers

through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum

convenience to users.

The DP-300U offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network

operating systems and protocols:

!TCP/IP

UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, 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

MacOS 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-300U’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. One USB and two

identical parallel ports are labeled USB, LPT1 and LPT2. These printer ports are

independently configurable 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-300U, 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. Default IP Address as follows:

!Default IP Address – 192.168.0.10

!Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Note:

The PC’s IPAddress 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.)

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:

Rear Panel Connectors

Power Link/Act USB LPT1 LPT2

Power LPT2 LPT1 RJ-45

USB

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.

USB, LPT1, LPT2

These three indicators are also used by the Print Server’s Power-ON Self Test

(POST) to indicate any hardware failures.

Front Panel LED Indicators

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.

When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power

OFF.

Confirm that your network is operating normally.

Connect the DP-300U RJ-45 Connector to the network, using an Ethernet

CAT5 cable.

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.

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.

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.

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 http://192.168.0.10 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.
