Hawking HPS1P Quick Installation Manual

1

Congratulations on purchasing Hawking’s HPS1P 1-Port Parallel
10/100M Print Server. The HPS1P is a powerful and convenient
network printing solution that will connect your printer to your
network. The HPS1P has a 10/100Mbps auto-sensing port, allowing
you to attach it to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network without the
need for a dedicated PC print server. The HPS1P also supports
multiple servers and multiple protocols, providing you with the
capability to print from anywhere, from any computer and from any

application.

1. Connect the HPS1P Print Server to your printer.

2. Connect the HPS1P to your network through an Ethernet

(Wired) connection.

3. Plug the AC power adapter into the power slot on the

side of the Print Server.

Check the LED’s marked as LAN, READY, and
STATUS on the front of the Print Server. They should
start to flash while doing a routine diagnostic test and
printer check. If not, please contact your local dealer for
repair or replacement.

You must use the power adapter shipped along with the print
server. Do NOT use any other power adapter from other
sources.

Please note that your HPS1P hardware is automatically set to a factory
default IP address of 192.168.1.250

LED Indicators

The HPS1P is equipped with LED lights to
assist in diagnosing print server or network
errors.

READY

This light will illuminate when the HPS1P has sufficient power and
the power adapter is plugged into the HPS1P. When the print
server unit is powered on, the Status LED, along with either the

LAN LED or the READY LED, will flash as part of the unit’s
Power On Self Test (POST). This indicates that the print server

hardware is properly configured. The HPS1P may take up to 1
minute to perform its internal diagnostic tests.

LAN

This light will illuminate and flash when the HPS1P detects 10M or
100M data transmissions over the network.

STATUS

This light will illuminate and flash when the HPS1P detects printer
data transmissions over the network.

Please note that the Reset button is located on the back of the HPS1P. Hold this button
down for more then 5 seconds to reset the print server into factory default mode.
