2-3 Connecting Devices to the Print Server
The NETGEAR Model PS101 Print Server has a 10 BASE-T Ethernet port, which can be operated on
a 10 and 10/100BASE-T hub or switch in the half-duplex mode.
The network port on the all Print Server Models is configured for Uplink wiring, which means you can
connect the Print Server direct to an Ethernet switch or hub.
Ethernet specifications limit the twisted pair cable (called a twisted pair segment) extended from a
network port to 100 meters in length.
Before applying power on the PS101 Mini Print Server and the printer you would like to use with,
connect the PS101 Mini Print Server to the port of the printer first.
To ensure the functionality working properly, follow the exact order of the procedure below.
1. Connect the PS101 Mini Print Server to the port of the printer
2. Connect the
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
cable from your network to print server ETHERNET port.
If you don’t have the network environment, please read the note at the end of the instruction.
3. Connect the power cord to the printer and an AC outlet. Turn on the switch if there is one on the
printer.
4. Connect the 9V DC to the PS101 Mini Print Server and power adapter to an AC outlet.
If you don’t have a network environment, hereunder are the components you may have
to purchase.
1. Network Interface Card (NIC) on all networked workstation PCs. Some of the PCs may have
a built-in NIC. Refer to the PC manual to check out.

connecting device
