Windows-based setup and administration software,
PS Admin
, is supplied with the DP-300,
making configuration and management quick and easy. The DP-300 also supports configuration
and management via the
telnet
protocol for networks without Windows-compatible machines.
External Features
This section describes the externally visible features of the DP-300 print server.
Port Connectors
The DP-300’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Two identical parallel ports are
labeled LPT1 and LPT2; the single serial port is labeled COM. These printer ports are
independently configurable using the
PS Admin
program or the print server’s
telnet
interface.
(See the
Print Server Administration User’s Guide
for information about configuring the print
server’s ports.)

Network Cable Connector
The DP-300’s right side panel features an RJ-45 connector for connection to 10Base-T Ethernet
cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 twisted-pair cable).
The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the print server to automatically detect or
negotiate the transmission speed of the network.
