To install and print across the network, please follow the installation
guidelines below:
1. Connect the MIL-P3720 to your printer and network.
2. Print a test/configuration page; then read the setup instructions
relevant to your network.
3. Networks and protocols can be complex. Depending on your
environment, it may be possible to install network printing in multiple
ways such as using SMB over NetBEUI or TCP/IP under Windows
operating systems.
Note: Perform the basic hardware installation first refer to “Basic Hardware
Installation” on page 5; then proceed below depending on your network
setup.

MiLAN Technology Introduction
This install guide describes how to install and manage the MIL-P3700
series of direct-connect print servers in various network environments.
The “preferred method” of installation is described for many SOHO
network environments. For more complex environments, or alternate
methods of installation, please refer to the MiLAN Technology user
manuals, which are available on the MiLAN Technology CD-ROM or
at the MiLAN Technology’s web-site (www.milan.com).
MiLAN Technology CD-ROM
The CD-ROM provides detailed manuals, data sheets, and installation
software for the MIL-P3700 series as well as other MiLAN
Technology LAN products. You can print or view the contents using
Adobe’s Acrobat Reader.
New Features
• SMB over TCP/IP with WINS support
• Netware PServer Notification
• HTTP (Web) Server for configuration and flash loading
• Serial flash uploading in addition to network flash
• TFTP flash loading in addition to other methods
• Test /config page printing via push button
• Multiple connection support for AppSockets
• RS-232 Serial Port can be used for printing and/or
configuration depending on cabling

Product Overview
The MIL-P3700 series servers are 10/100 Mbps, direct-connect print
servers. These print servers are to be connected directly to printers on
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networks. Versions include:
MIL-P3720: One RJ-45 (UTP), 10/100 Mbps port; one Centronics
parallel port and one serial port.
The MIL-P3720 print server has four LED’ s and a test page push button
located in the front panel as shown in the above figure.
1.
NET
-(NET) comes on (yellow light) and flashes when the network
cable is plugged into the print server, and there is activity on the
network.
2.
LINK
-(L) comes on steady (green light) when the print server is
connected to the network via 10/100Mbps port.
3.
SYS
4.
-(SYS) for future use.
PORT
-(P) comes on (green light) about seven seconds after the
print server is powered up. It is “on” when a job is active.
5.
TST
-(TST) is used to print a test/config page.
All MIL- P3700 series of print servers recognize the speed of a network
using auto-negotiation.

Basic Hardware Installation
Installing and Connecting the Printer to the Network
To install the MIL-P3700 series of direct connect print servers and to
print a test page do the following:
1. Record the print server’ s twelve-digit hardware address (Ethernet or
MAC address). The number is located on the bottom of the unit (for
example, 00-40-c8-XX-XX-XX where X is a hexadecimal number).
2. Attach the network cable from your hub or network port to the RJ45 port (marked as 10/100Mbps). Use Category 5 (UTP) cable.
3. Plug the print server (MIL-P3720) directly into the printer’ s parallel
port or into an extender cable.
4. Connect the power cable (5VDC power supply provided) to the
print server.
5. Check to see if the Link (L) LED is on solid, and 30 seconds later
the Net LED is flashing randomly. This indicates activity on the
network.
6. Check to see if the Port (P) LED comes on (within 7 seconds).
7. Wait for 30 seconds (until the Port (P) LED stops flashing).
8. Print a test page by pressing the TST button once with a small
pointed tool.
9. Refer to the relevant chapter in this document for the specific
network operating system and continue installation.
Contact MiLAN Technology’s LAN technical support if you have
problems or questions when installing the print server.

Important Information,
Depending On Your Network
• Log in as “ROOT” for UNIX and /or “Administrator” for
Windows NT and Novell.
• Keep the print server's MAC address on file (sticker at the bottom
of the print server), example: 00:40:c8:xx:yy:zz. You may need this
address later.
• If you are using SMB over NetBEUI, have NetBEUI protocol
installed and check-marked as the selected default protocol. You
should also have the printer's driver diskettes handy.
• Have the IP address that you want to assign to the print server (if
using TCP/IP). Get this from your MIS or network administrator.
• Zone and Phase (if using AppleTalk)
e
• Tree and Context (if using NDS)
• If using http: make sure that the host (client) is in the same domain
as the print server.
Go to page 1 to select your operating system and network printing
environment. For all Windows environments, SMB over NetBEUI (does
not require an IP address) or SMB over TCP/IP (does require an IP
address) are recommended. No additional host client software is needed
when using SMB.
