External NetportExpress PRO print servers
(Ethernet and Token Ring)
Tips for installing the External PRO print server
•
When the activity light is solid green, the NetportExpress print server is ready. The
other two lights may blink, indicating communication with the network. If the Activity
light flashes red, see the troubleshooting section of this manual.
•
The PRO senses the Novell NetWare frame type: 802.2, 802.3, Ethernet II, or SNAP.
•
The token ring version autosenses data rate speeds when both switches are in the
default UP position. (See page 34 for list of settings.)
CAUTION
When connecting the power cable, use the power supply that comes with
your PRO. Another power supply could cause your PRO to malfunction.
Continue with Software Installation, page 6 . . .

DB-9 connector.
