Connect the Print Server

The PS110 or PS113 Print Server connects to the parallel port on your printers. You
may connect two printers to the PS110 or as many as three printers to the PS113.

After connecting the print server to your printer, you then connect it to a network device (like
a hub, router, or switch).

Before you share the printer with
the NETGEAR PS110 or PS113
Print Server, you should have at
least one computer connected to
an Ethernet network and have one
unused port on an Ethernet hub,
switch, or router.

Note:

The procedures

described in this guide are
for a TCP/IP-based network
environment. For NetBEUI
protocol printing, please see
the Reference Manual.

1.

Place the print server on a
flat surface.

Note:

You can mount the

print server to the side of a
printer using Velcro

®

strips to

conserve space. NETGEAR
recommends that you
configure and test the print server before mounting the print server in a different
configuration.

2.

Insert one end of an Ethernet patch (or straight-through) cable into an open Ethernet
port in the network device (hub, switch, or router) and insert the other end into the

Network

port on the print server.

Note:

You may use a Category 3 (or higher) Ethernet cable.
