Windows-based setup and administration software,

, is supplied with the DP-300,

making configuration and management quick and easy.  The DP-300 also supports configuration

and management via the 

telnet

 protocol for networks without Windows-compatible machines.

External Features

This section describes the externally visible features of the DP-300 print server.

Port Connectors

The DP-300’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Two identical parallel ports are

labeled LPT1 and LPT2; the single serial port is labeled COM.  These printer ports are

independently configurable using the 

PS Admin

 program or the print server’s 

telnet

 interface.

(See the 

Print Server Administration User’s Guide

 for information about configuring the print

server’s ports.)

Network Cable Connector

The DP-300’s right side 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.
