  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The D-Link DP-101P+ is a “Pocket Size” Ethernet Print Server with a Centronics port (Parallel Printer connection) and a single RJ-45 (Ethernet) port. The DP-101P+ provides a solution for sharing a single printer among several users in a local network. Its IEEE 802.3 Ethernet port and IEEE 1284 parallel interface allows it to connect most Parallel printers directly to an Ethernet based LAN.
  • Page 5 IBM LAN Server AppleTalk MacOS AppleTalk The D-Link DP-101+ has an embedded web-server which allows it to be configured anywhere on your network through a web-browser. Managing the print server through the web-browser makes it Operating System independent. Your D-Link DP-101P+ package also includes PS Admin, a Windows-based setup and administration program, which makes configuration and management of your D-Link print servers quick and easy in a Windows environment.
  • Page 6 Network Port The network port (RJ-45 receptacle) provides for connection to the network through 10Base-T Ethernet cabling. DC Power Input The DC power input socket uses a 7.5V power supply. The power supply included in your DP-101P+ package is correct for the DP-101P+. Substitution of other equipment may void warranty.
