1.1 Overview of the MIL-3200X
The MIL-3200X series of FastPort print servers are 10 Mbps,
Ethernet and fiber optic print servers. The MIL-3200X allows
users to directly connect multiple printers on Ethernet
networks using their choice of network media, including:
I
• 10BASE-T, 10BASE2, and 10BASE5 for Ethernet
• 10BASE-FL for fiber optic media
1.2 Versions of the MIL-3200X
I
There are three different, pre-configured versions of the MIL3200X series of FastPort, including:
• MIL-3210X, for 10BASE-T connectivity using a MIL-4310M
micro module for its network connection
• MIL-3220X, for 10BASE2 connectivity using a MIL-4320M
micro module for its network connection
• MIL-3230X, for 10BASE-FL connectivity using a MIL4330M micro module for its network connection
Note:
For 10BASE5 connectivity, install a MIL-4340M micro module into any
the MIL-3200X (see to Chap. 3 for more info. on the micro modules)
1.3 Features
The MIL-3200X FastPort offers the following features:
• FastManage SNMP manager for Windows
• On-board diagnostic utilities can also be accessed on-line
• Apple Macintosh users can configure and modify each unit
by downloading configuration files with the supplied
LaserWriter™ utility
• Configuration can also be done manually or with the
supplied installation program
1-2 MIL-3200X Series of FastPort Print Servers
1.3.1 Shared Printer Features
FastPort give users the widest access to shared printers:
• Windows 95®, Windows NT, and Windows for
Workgroups systems
• PCs networked with Novell® NetWare
• UNIX® support
• Apple® Macintosh® using EtherTalk®
• OS/2® machines with TCP/IP
• PCs running a TCP/IP protocol stack over Ethernet
networks
• Microsoft LAN Manager® and IBM LAN Server® systems
®

The MIL-3200X print servers are configured by using an
SNMP management station, such as the FastManage software
(included). The MIL-3200X also supports SNMP MIB-II (RFCs
1213) and parallel and serial MIBs (RFCs 1318 and 1317).
1.3.2 Utilities
To make the units easier to manage, Digi supplies:
• FastManage suite of software, a Windows-based
management package
• Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT), a DOS-based menu
software application
Configuration of devices can be done by using print utilities
on UNIX systems. Firmware upgrades of the flash EPROMs
can be done via network connections. Refer to the
User’s Guide

2.2 Installing FastPort
To install the MIL-3200X FastPort print server.
1. Record the Ethernet address (located on the bottom of the
unit) for future reference
2. Attach the Ethernet cabling, including:
– MIL-3210X supports 10BASE-T cabling directly; use
category 5 (CAT 5) unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cabling.
– MIL-3220X supports 10BASE2 cabling directly; use thin
net cabling.
– MIL-3230X supports 10BASE-FL cabling directly; use
multi-mode or single-mode fiber cabling.
Note:
Install a micro module for any other type of network connection, ref er to
Chapter 3.
3. Refer to Table 2-1 to select an operating mode with the
front panel switches.

A null modem cable or adapter is necessary if the printer’s
serial port is a DTE device. If the cable will work for an
IBM PC attached to a printer, then it will work for FastPort.

Note:
See Appendix A for serial port pinouts.
6. Set the printer to the defaults for the serial port: 9600 baud,
8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and Xon/Xoff for flow
control.

4.1 Overview of FastManage
The FastManage suite of software allows configuration and
network management for most SNMP-type devices, including
print servers, fax servers, hubs, and stackable hubs.
When the software is started, an icon appears that represents
each SNMP device. This section discusses the specific icon for
this specific FastPort: the MIL-3200X FastPort print servers.

4.4 Configuration Pull-down Menu
There are many differ ent options available from the pull-down
menus, including TCP/IP, Novell, and SMB configurations.
Refer to the FastManage User’s Guide for more information.
4.4.1 Auxiliary Port Sub-Menu
The “Auxiliary Port” sub-menu (Figure 4-3) differs from other
FastPorts, because the MIL-3200X series has two serial and
two parallel ports. To view the “Auxiliary Port” sub-menu
from the “Configuration” pull-down menus, go to:
TCP/IP Config.--> fpfilter Configuration-->Auxiliary ports
Figure 4-3. Auxiliary Port Menu
This parameter specifies an auxiliary port for parallel or serial
port printing.

4.4.2 Parallel/Serial Printer Setup Sub-Menu
Again, both the “Parallel Printer Setup” (Figure 4-4) and the
“Serial Printer Setup” sub-menus differ from other FastPorts,
because the MIL-3200X series has two serial and two parallel
ports. To view these sub-menus from the “Configuration”
pull-down menu, go to:

4.5 Hot Spots
Hot spots on the graphical representation of the MIL-3200X
series (Figure 3-2) are used to gain status of the device. Use the
mouse to highlight the selection (a block around the area will
appear), and click on it to obtain the information.
Hot spots function the same way on all FastPorts, even though
they may appear in different locations. The following
describes the hot spots applicable for the MIL-3200X. Refer to
the FastManage User’s Guide for more information.

FastPort. Select Yes to continue, No to stop.
• Digi/MiLAN Logo: Depending on the model of your
FastPort, either a “MiLAN” or a “Digi” appears on the top,
right-hand side of the graphic. When this Logo is clicked
on, FastPort specifications appear. Reset Name, Location,
