Printer Server Installation 2-41

LAN Connections & Cabling

The printer server may be connected to the network with one of these cables.

•Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) with an RJ-45 connector

•Shielded Twisted-pair (STP) with a DB9 connector

CAUTION: Do not connect network cables to both the UTP and the STP ports on the printer server at the same time.

Unshielded Twisted-Pair UTP Connection

1)Connect one end of the UTP cable to the printer server UTP port. See Appendix for UTP pinout details.

2)Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the Token Ring network.

3)Do not connect anything to the printer server STP port.
