Contents:
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.
