2. Hardware Installation
Unpack the print server package and verify that all the
items listed in the section 1.2 are provided.
Connect the print server to the printer you want to share
on the network.
Connect the print server to your network by attached the
network cable to the UTP port of the print server.
Connect the power adapter to the print server. The print
server will perform the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) after it
is powered on. During the POST, the Status and Ready
LEDs will be on. When the LEDs are unlighted, the print
server is ready.
NOTE1: MUST use the power adapter shipped with the print
server, do NOT use any other power adapter from any
sources.
NOTE2: To prevent the compatibility problem between print
server and a few printer, it is recommended that you
power on the print server before the printer.

3. Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
3.1 System Architecture
Print server supports Windows Peer-to-Peer network
printing mode, which is suitable for most medium and
small network environments. Through quick and simple
installation procedure, users can immediately enjoy the
convenience of network printing.
13
Installation procedure is separated into following two parts:
1. Administrator Installation and Setup (refer to section 2
for more detailed information).
