INSTALLATION/OPERATION OVERVIEW
This section provides basic set up instructions for print server installation
and operation. We will refer to specific sections in this manual for more
in-depth instructions on installation, operation, and configuration. Please
review the following procedure:
Step
Instructions
1
GENERAL
Determine what BayTech Print Server model you are installing. The model number is
specified on the lower right corner of the rear panel. The model number will have a
hyphenated suffix indicating the network interface type. This suffix will be one of the
following: -CX (for 10BASE2 thin coax), -TP (for 10BASE-T twisted pair), or -TR (for
token ring).
Identify which ports are serial and which are parallel. Serial ports have RJ-45 modular
connectors and parallel ports have DB-25 female connectors. The PS-4A has four
parallel ports, the PS-4C has four serial ports, and the PS-4E has two parallel and two
serial ports. The LaserShare PS-MIO installs directly into the MIO slot of the HP
Laserjet IIISi or HP Laserjet 4/4Si printer and does not have parallel or serial ports. If
you are installing a LaserShare PS-MIO, install the unit into the MIO slot of the printer
as described in
Section 4.5
and proceed to Step 2.
Determine what devices will connect to the print server and if these devices will
connect as serial or parallel. Typical devices include printers, plotters, modems, or
Tran-x high speed serial-to-parallel converters.
2
CABLING
Cable your print server to the network as described in
Section 5
. If you are installing a
LaserShare PS-MIO, proceed to Step 3. Modular adapters are typically required to
connect serial printers, plotters, and modems to the print server. You may connect a
Tran-x high speed serial to parallel converter to a serial port which will allow a parallel
printer to be located up to 1000 feet away from the print server. Please see
Appendix
A
for the required serial adapter and cable pinouts.
NOTE: If you will be connecting a Tran-x high speed serial-to-parallel converter to a
serial port on the print server, you must change the serial interface for the port to EIA-
422. Please see
Section 4.4
.
Parallel ports require a standard male to centronics cable to connect a parallel printer
to the print server.
