Introduction

The D-Link DP-301U Print Server is an Ethernet print server that connects to
your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate USB printer
services. The DP-301U manages the flow of print files from workstations or file
servers to connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a
file server on a PC acting as a print server can. With one USB (v1.1) port, the
DP-301U can connect to almost any printer with a USB port.

The DP-301U includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based
networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to
ensure seamless connection to major networking Operating Systems.

The DP-301U has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-301U also
supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.

The DP-301U improves network printing services in the following ways:

 The DP-301U delegates print jobs to the connect USB printer. 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
Print Server without increasing the load of another workstation or server.

 The DP-301U’s USB port, version 1.1, can transmit to high-speed laser

printers much faster than a PC’s parallel printer port.

 Because the DP-301U is very portable and inexpensive compared to a

PC-based print server, and the Print Server connects to your file servers
through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum
convenience to users.

The DP-301U offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network
operating systems and protocols:



Windows-based setup and administration software, PS Admin, is supplied with
the Print Server, making configuration and management quick and easy. The
Print Server also supports configuration and management via the Telnet protocol
for networks without Windows-compatible systems.

External Features

Port Connectors

The DP-301U’s USB port is located on its rear panel. The USB can be configured
using the PS Admin program or the print server’s Telnet interface. (See the PS
Admin User’s Guide, available on the CD that came with the DP-301U, for
information about configuring the print server’s ports.) The Print Server also
supports web configuration permitting users to configure settings through the web
browser. The default IP Address is as follows:

 Default IP Address – 192.168.0.10

 Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Note:

The PC’s IP Address must be in the same subnet as the Print Server’s IP Address for the
two devices to communicate. (For example, if your Print Server’s IP Address is

192.168.0.10, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your computer’s IP Address
should be 192.168.0.x, where x is a value between 1-254, excluding 10.)

The LED indicator lights up to show that the Print Server is transferring
print data through the USB port.

Setting up the DP-301U

Installing the Print Server

WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the Print Server is powered up without

first establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at
the configuration stage.

1.

Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected to the DP-301U,

When you have confirmed proper operation of the USB printer, switch it the

2.

power OFF.

Confirm that your network is operating normally.3.

Connect the DP-301U RJ-45 Connector to the network, using a straight

4.

through CAT5 cable..

While the printer is powered OFF, install the USB printer cable to connect the

5.

printer’s USB port to the USB port of the Print Server.

Switch on the connected printer.6.

7.

Plug the AC power adapter’s DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on
the rear panel of the Print Server.

Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the Print

8.

Server, as it has no external power switch. The green Power LED on the
Print Server’s front panel should illuminate steadily, and the Print Server’s
Self-Test will proceed.

7

Power ON Self-Test

Every DP-301U has been factory-tested to operate properly.

When the DP-301U is powered ON, it also automatically performs a Self-Test on
each of its major components. The final result of the Self-Test is signaled by the
state of the USB LED indicator following the Self-Test. Preliminary to the actual
component tests, the LED indicators are tested to confirm their steady and
flashing operation.

Immediately after power-up, all three of the green LEDs should illuminate steadily
for several seconds. Then the USB LED should flash ON three times.
Irregularity of the LED during this LED test may mean there is a problem with the
LED itself.

The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A normal (no fault)
result is signaled by a flashing of the USB LED, followed by a darkened LED.

If the Self-Test routine detects any component error, then following the LED tests
the Self-Test will halt and the LEDs will continuously signal the error according to
the following table. In the event of any such error signal, contact your dealer for
correction of the faulty unit.

Setting up Apple Talk Printing

in Mac OS 9

Note: Mac OS printing with this print server sup­ports Postscript printers only!

The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the MacOS operating
system. It can be used for network communications over standard Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet using the EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary low-speed LocalTalk
transport.

Your Print Server can be used for network printing to PostScript printers. You can
print from any MacOS computer connected to your Ethernet network, either directly
using an EtherTalk connection, or indirectly through a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.

NOTE: The Chooser name of a printer connected to one of the Print Server’s ports
is the same as its Port Name. If you are using AppleTalk printing, you will need to
make sure that every Port Name is unique among all of the network printers in your
AppleTalk zone. The Port Names shown in this manual are examples only.

Setting up the Print Server for AppleTalk Printing

To set up your Print Server so that it can be used for AppleTalk printing:

Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is enabled in your Macintosh.



Change the IP Address on one of the computers on your network to



192.168.0.x, where x is any number between 11-254.

Type 192.168.0.10 into the address field of your web browser. 192.168.0.10 is



the default IP Address of the DP-301U.

Select the Network tab and scroll to the bottom to the AppleTalk protocol



section

If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you will have to



specify which zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print
Server in the same zone as most of the users who will be using it. If your
network is not divided into zones, the AppleTalk Zone field should contain a
single asterisk “*”.

be free from material defects in workmanship and materials from the date of original retail purchase of the

D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no
charge to the original owner or to refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Such repair or replacement will be
rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement Hardware need not be new or
have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may in its sole discretion replace the defective Hardware (or any
part thereof) with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or
superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. Repaired or replacement Hardware will be
warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date of original retail purchase. If a
material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to
repair or replace the defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware
will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that
is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon
replacement or refund.

Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will
substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the
applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90)

magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical defects. D-Link’s sole obligation
shall be to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially
conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Except
as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee,
and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Software will be
warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date or original retail purchase. If a
material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not

thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given
automatically terminates.

D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any product
purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or the

described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.

Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm the
same.

must be prominently marked on the outside of the package. Do not include any manuals or

requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible from the outside of the package. The product owner

and shipped in accordance with the foregoing requirements, or that is determined by D-Link not to be defective
or non-conforming.
