•
silex Installation/Documentation CD
Installation Requirements
•
A printer or plotter that uses a Centronics 36-pin
female parallel port connector used to receive print
data
•
A computer with a CD-ROM drive
NOTE: After the CD is inserted into the CD-ROM drive,
Windows operating systems will automatically run the CD.
For all other operating systems, browse the CD for the
desired user documentation provided in Adobe Acrobat
(PDF) format.
•
An Internet connection (for online product
registration)
•
An Ethernet (category 5) network cable
Hardware Setup
1.
Plug the print server directly into the parallel port
(36-pin female connector) on your printer. No
additional data cable is required.
2.
Plug the power adapter into a suitable power outlet,
and then connect the power cable to the print server.
Verifying Successful Installation
Switch your printer power ON. The print server will run
through a set of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds.
If the print server is operating properly, the green LED will
blink momentarily and then go out. If the green LED
blinks continuously in a regular pattern, there is a
problem. If this is the case, first verify that you have a
good Ethernet connection, and then try powering the unit
OFF and then ON again. When the green LED goes out,
the other LEDs on the print server will blink in a random
pattern.
Verifying the Connection to the Printer
To verify the connection, make sure that both the print
server and the printer are powered on and ready, and then
print a test page by briefly (more than one-eighth second
but less than five seconds) depressing the Test button. If
the connection is good, a test page will print on the
printer. If nothing prints out, make sure that the cable or
I/O connection is good and that it is securely fastened.
LED Indicators
The back edge of the silex print server provides LED
indicators (Light Emitting Diodes) for easy monitoring.
The following table defines the function
of each LED.
Management and Configuration Methods
silex offers a variety of methods to conveniently
configure and monitor the print server. Refer to the
Installation CD to install the utilities and to access the
user documentation for detailed configuration
information.
