NIPORT
Connect serial devices to the 8-wire RJ Uniport connector, such as printers,
plotters, or minicomputers. Using the Uniport adapters, you can convert a
Uniport to a long-distance, high-speed parallel output port.
Uniport: Serial Output Devices and Input Devices
For serial output devices such as serial printers or plotters, or input devices
such as minicomputers, use a straight 8-wire RJ cable to plug into the
Ethernet Print Server back panel (marked Uniport). You can use baud rates
of up to 19200 for this type of Uniport connection. See
Fig. 3-9
.
Plug the parallel cable
into the Ethernet Print
Server High Speed
port marked
PARALLEL. For the
Ethernet Print Server
4-Port, all parallel
ports are numbered,
such as Parallel
Port 1, etc.
