    NETPORT(R) II PRINT SERVER HARDWARE INSTALLATION

    
         1. Place NetPort(R) print server near the printer or plotter you want
    
            to connect.
    
    
    
         2. Find the 2 toggle switches recessed in NetPort print server's back
    
            panel.  Both switches are UP for IEEE 802.3.  Both switches are
    
            down for ENET Type II.
    
    
    
         3. Connect the network cablethe to NetPort print server.
    
    
    
         4. Connect the printer or plotter cables.  The combinations available
    
            are:
    
    
    
               * Parallel Port 1 and Parallel Port 2
    
              *Parallel Port 1 and Serial Port
    
              *Parallel Port 1 only
    
              *Parallel Port 2 only
    
              *Serial Port only
    
    
    
            If Parallel Port 1 and Parallel Port 2 are chosen, the automatic
    
            configuration option can be used.  Other combinations must use the
    
            manual configuration.
    
    
    
            The printer cables and network cables should always be attached
    
            before applying power.
    
    
    
         5. Turn the printer on now (before attaching power cable to NetPort).
    
    
    
         6. Plug the power cable into NetPort and plug the other end into the
    
            nearest electric outlet.
    
    
    
         7. Check the LED activity light on the front of the NetPort box. When
    
            you plug in the power cord, NetPort begins testing and the light 
    
            comes on.  When the tests are complete, the light should stay on
    
            continuously.
    
    
    
       Note:     If NetPort discovers a problem during the test, the light will
    
       flash in a pattern.  Make sure the network cable is connected correctly.
    
        If the light continues to flash, the NetPort may not be working
    
       properly.  There is information on the blinking patterns included in the
    
       Troubleshooting guidelines section of the manual.
    
    
    
    

    ORIGINAL NETPORT(R) HARDWARE INSTALLATION

    
         1. Place NetPort(R) near the printer or plotter you want to connect.
    
    
    
         2. Connect the printer or plotter cables and the network cable to
    
            NetPort.  These cables should always be attached before applying
    
            power.
    
    
    
         3. Turn the printer on now (before attaching power cable to NetPort).
    
    
    
         4. Plug the small end of the power cable into NetPort and plug the
    
            other end into the nearest electric outlet.
    
    
    
         5. Check the LED activity light on the front of the NetPort box. When
    
            you plug in the power cord, NetPort begins testing and the light 
    
            comes on.  When the tests are complete, the light should stay on
    
            continuously.
    
    
    
       Note:     If NetPort discovers a problem during the test, the light will
    
       flash in a pattern.  Make sure the network cable is connected correctly.
    
        If the light continues to flash, the NetPort may not be working
    
       properly.  There is information on the blinking patterns included in the
