The D-Link DP-G301 Print Server is a 802.11g wireless Parallel Port Print Server

that can also connect to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. Now you can

locate parallel port printer services virtually anywhere in your home or ofﬁce.

The DP-G301 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. With one parallel port, the DP-G301 can connect to almost any printer

with a parallel port.

The DP-G301 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-G301 has a built in Web-based management feature that allows users

to easily conﬁgure and manage print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-G301 also

supports Telnet as an alternative method to conﬁgure the unit.

The DP-G301 improves network printing services in the following ways:

The DP-G301 delegates print jobs to the connected parallel port 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.

Because the DP-G301 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.

Introduction



* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g speciﬁcations. Actual

data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including

volume of network trafﬁc, building materials and construction, and network overhead

lower actual data throughput rate.

External Features

Port Connectors

The DP-G301’s parallel port is located on its front panel. The parallel port 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-G301,

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

The DP-G301 offers extraordinary ﬂexibility, operating with all major network

operating systems and protocols:

TCP/IP

UNIX lpr/lpd

Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows XP

NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote Printing

NetBEUI

Windows 2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Microsoft LAN

Manager, IBM LAN Server

AppleTalk

MacOS EtherTalk

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.

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.)

Ethernet ACT Power

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use

and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or

public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access

to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the

freedom that wireless networking brings.

A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives

data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both

home and ofﬁce environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and

universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work

and communicate more efﬁciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling

and other ﬁxed infrastructure have proven to be beneﬁcial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.

Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same

protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Wireless Basics

People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location

within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-

time information can signiﬁcantly improve worker efﬁciency.

Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change

and relocate. Networks that frequently change can beneﬁt from WLANs ease of

implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may

be impractical.

Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and

easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless

technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the

home or ofﬁce.

Scalability – WLANs can be conﬁgured in a variety of topologies to meet the

needs of speciﬁc applications and installations. Conﬁgurations are easily changed

and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to

larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users,

depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as

conventional Ethernet network devices.

Standards-Based Technology

Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the DP-G301 is interoperable with existing

compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 54Mbps*

when used with other D-Link AirPlus G devices.

Wireless Basics (continued)

Installation Considerations

The D-Link AirPlus G DP-G301 lets you print through your network, using a wireless

connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind,

however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects

that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges

vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency)

noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow

these basic guidelines:

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DP-G301 and other

network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link

wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices

so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick

(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick.

At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters). Position devices so that

the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for

better reception.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or

aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless

devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes

through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

Keep the antenna of the DP-G301 in an upright position.

* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g speciﬁcations. Actual data

throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network

trafﬁc, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput

rate.

Setting up the DP-G301

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.

Conﬁrm proper operation of your printer before connecting the DP-G301.

When you have conﬁrmed proper operation of your printer, turn your

printer power OFF.

Conﬁrm that your network is operating normally.

Connect the DP-G301 to your network, using a straight-through CAT5 cable.

While the printer is powered OFF, install the DP-G301 parallel port connector

into the parallel port on the network printer.

Switch ON your connected printer.

Plug the DC power adapter 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 DP-

G310, 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.

Immediately after power-up, three of the green LEDs should illuminate steadily for

several seconds. 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 LPT 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.

When the DP-G301 is powered , 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 LPT LED indicator following the Self-Test. Preliminary to the actual

component tests, the LED indicators are tested to conﬁrm their steady and ﬂashing

operation.
