DP-100+ Multiprotocol Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide  

Introduction 

 

 

Steady or flashing green confirms that the DP-100+ is 
powered on. 

 

The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the DP-
100+ is transmitting to the network. 

 

Link/Rx

 

 

Steady or flashing green confirms that the DP-100+ 
has a good connection to the Ethernet network. 

 

The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the DP-
100+ is receiving from the network. 

 

LPT1

LPT2

COM

 

 

These LED indicators light to show that the DP-100+ 
is transferring print data through the appropriate 
parallel or serial port. 

 

These three indicators are also used by the print server’s 
power-on self test (POST) to indicate any hardware 
failures. 

 

Use of Stacking Brackets 

First, make sure you have one pair of stacking brackets for 
each device.

 

Next, slide one bracket onto each end of the device as shown 
in the diagram below. Be sure each bracket is positioned 
correctly.
