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

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
