0 ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This manual describes the D-Link DP-101P+ Multiprotocol
Ethernet Print Server, including full descriptions of its features,
detailed installation procedures, and troubleshooting information.
Your DP-101P+ package includes important software components,
and additional user manuals. The software components, and
procedures for installation and setup of the software, are covered
in the PS Admin User’s Guide.

1 INTRODUCTION
The DP-101P+ Print Server is a compact pocket-sized print server
which connects your Ethernet network directly to your printer,
wherever it is. It manages the flow of print files from your
workstations or file servers to its connected printers, delivering
print jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file
server or a PC acting as a print server can.
Service Features
DP-101P+ print servers improve network printing services in three
ways:
♦The DP-101P+ picks up the workload of managing print file
traffic to its connected printers. This provides workload relief to
your file servers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be
used for file access or other direct services to network users. On
peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the
DP-101P+ without increasing the load of another workstation or
server.
♦The DP-101P+'s IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed bi-directional
parallel printer port can transmit to high-speed laser printers
much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. A high-speed
laser printer can be driven at its full capacity.

DP-101P+ Print Server User’s Manual
Introduction 5
♦Because the DP-101P+ is very portable (pocket-sized) and
inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and because
the DP-101P+ connects to your file servers through the
network, the printer can be stationed at the location of
maximum convenience to users.
The DP-101P+ offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all
major network operating systems and protocols:
♦TCP/IP
UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM
AIX)
Windows NT/2000
NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR remote printing
♦NetBEUI
Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98/Me, Windows for
Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server
♦AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
Your D-Link DP-101P+ package includes PS Admin, a Windows-
based setup and administration program, which makes
configuration and management of your D-Link print servers quick
and easy in a Windows environment. The DP-101P+ also has a
Telnet interface for management communications. If Windows is
not available on the station you choose for print server
administration, then all configuration and management commands
may be issued to the DP-101P+, and all console messages and
management report information will be returned, via Telnet.

Printer Port
The printer port, is configurable by commands in the PS Admin
program, or by commands issued to the DP-101P+ via Telnet. See
the PS Admin User’s Guide for configuration procedures.
The print server also supports web configuration permitting users
to configure settings through the web browser. DP-101P+ default
IP address as follows:
♦Default IP address –192.168.0.1
♦Subnet Mask –255.255.255.0
Note:-
The PC’s IP address must correspond with the print server’s IP
address in the same segment for the two devices to communicate.

10 Unpacking and Installation
Installing the DP-101P+
Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of print-server operations
with your DP-101P+. Please take particular notice of the warning
in step 4: the network connection should be made before supplying
power to the DP-101P+.
1. Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected to the
DP-101P+.
2. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer,
switch its power off.
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4. Connect the DP-101P+ to the network (through the RJ-45
receptacle on the print server’s rear end).
WARNING:Configuration problems may result if the DP-101P+
is powered up without first establishing its network
connection. Follow this procedure to avoid
complications at the configuration stage.
5. While the printer is power off, connect the DP-101P+ print
server directly to the printer parallel port.
6. Switch printer power on.
7. Plug the AC Power adapter’s output plug into the DC power
input socket on the rear end of the DP-101P+.
8. Plug the AC Power adapter into an electric service outlet. This
will supply power to the DP-101P+. (The DP-101P+ has no
power switch.) The DP-101P+’s self-test routines will proceed
automatically.

Unpacking and Installation 11
Power-up and Self-Test
Whenever the DP-101P+ is powered up, two kinds of testing
procedures follow automatically. The first procedure is just a
programmed series of LED flashes, to confirm proper operation of
the three LED indicators. The second procedure comprises
programmed tests of each of the DP-101P+'s major components. If
any fault is found during the component test series, testing is
halted and a continuous pattern of LED flashes signals the nature
of the fault.
LED Test Series
Immediately upon power-up, all three of the LED indicators will
show steady green for several seconds. Then the LPT indicator
will flash three times while Pw/Tx and Lk/Rx remain steady.
Irregularity of any of the LEDs during this LED test series
indicates that there is a problem with the LEDs themselves.
Contact your dealer for correction of any LED problems before
proceeding.
Component Test Series
The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A
normal (no fault) result is signaled by three flashes of the LPT
indicator and the start of normal print server operation.
If any error condition is found during the component test series,
then the test will halt with the LPT LED continuously signaling
the particular error according to the following table.

DP-101P+ Print Server User’s Manual

In the event of a Firmware Reload Required error at startup,
proceed according to instructions given in the PS Admin User’s
Guide ("PS Admin Administration" section, under the heading
"Upgrading the Print Server's Internal Firmware").
In the event that any of the other listed error conditions is
encountered on startup, contact your dealer for correction of the
fault.
Operational Test
The PS Admin software includes a Print Test function for
confirmation of connections and functions. That operational test
can be performed after you have completed installation of the PS
Admin software, and the PS Admin procedures for configuring the
DP-101P+. See instructions given in the PS Admin User’s Guide
("Getting Started Setting up Your Print Server" section, under the
heading "Testing your Print Server").
