2. Introduction
The D-Link DP-101P+ is a “Pocket Size” Ethernet Print Server with a Centronics port (Parallel Printer
connection) and a single RJ-45 (Ethernet) port. The DP-101P+ provides a solution for sharing a single printer
among several users in a local network. Its IEEE 802.3 Ethernet port and IEEE 1284 parallel interface allows it to
connect most Parallel printers directly to an Ethernet based LAN. The DP-101P+ provides all Ethernet network
users the necessary advanced features, wide protocol support, and ease of use to fit well into networks ranging
from small home networks to the enterprise level networks.
The DP-101P+ includes easy to use software to install to most PC or Macintosh networks. Protocol support for
TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to ensure seamless connection to Windows Operating Systems,
Mac OS, Unix, Novell and other major networking Operating Systems.
The DP-101P+ has a built in Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage
multiple print queues through TCP/IP. Additionally, the DP-101P+’s integrated support for Telnet provides an
alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-101P+ print servers improve network printing services in the following 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.
•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, Windows XP, Windows 98/Me
NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR remote printing
NetBEUI
Windows XP, Windows NT/2000, Windows 98/Me, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager,
IBM LAN Server
AppleTalk
MacOS AppleTalk
The D-Link DP-101+ has an embedded web-server which allows it to be configured anywhere on your network
through a web-browser. Managing the print server through the web-browser makes it Operating System
independent.
Your D-Link DP-101P+ package also 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.

Network Port
The network port (RJ-45 receptacle) provides for connection to the network through 10Base-T Ethernet
cabling.
DC Power Input
The DC power input socket uses a 7.5V power supply.
The power supply included in your DP-101P+ package is correct for the DP-101P+. Substitution of other
equipment may void warranty.
LED Indicators
The front of the DP-101P+ includes three LED indicators. See “Power-up and Self-Test,” for LED indications
upon starting up the DP-101P+. During operations following a normal startup, the LED indicators provide the
following status signals:
Pw
Steady or flashing green confirms power on.
Lk/Act
Steady or flashing green confirms that the DP-101P+ has a good connection to the Ethernet network.
This indicator blinks (briefly dark) when the DP-101P+ is receiving or transmitting from the network.
LPT
This indicator shows steady green while the DP-101P+ is transferring print data through its printer port.
Rear View
The DP-101P+ printer port is located at the rear.

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 – 192.168.0.10
•Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Setting up the DP-101P+
Note: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.
The PC’s IP address must be in the same network with the print server’s IP address for the two
devices to communicate.
5. While the printer is powered 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.

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.

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 and Lk/Act 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.

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:
LPT Flash Pattern Error Type
Steady long flashes Firmware Reload Required
Continuous on DRAM Error
One long, two short flashes Timer INT Error
One long, three short flashes Flash Protected

One long, eight short flashes Parallel Controller Error
One long, nine short flashes LPT Error
Steady short flashes EEPROM Error
One long, eleven short flashes LAN I/O Base error

Component Test Series (continued)
In the event of a Firmware Reload Required error at startup, proceed according to instructions given in the PS
Admin User’s Guide (“PSAdmin 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.
