Procedure

1. Find the Default LevelOne Printer Server Name

The Default Server Name is shown on a sticker on the base of the device. It consists of 8 letters and/or digits.

Record this name, it may be needed during configuration.

2. Connect the Printer

Connect the printer or plotter to the LevelOne Printer Server's printer port(s), as appropriate:

FPS-3001TXU- Plug the FPS-3001TXU LevelOne Printer Server directly into the parallel port on the printer.

FPS-3002USB- Use the USB cable supplied with your printer to connect the printer to the FPS-3002USB LevelOne Printer Server's USB port

FPS-2112 - Use the USB printer cable supplied with your printer to connect the printer to the FPS-2112 LevelOne Printer Server's USB port. Use a standard parallel port cable to connect a printer to the parallel port.

Leave the LevelOne Printer Server powered OFF while connecting it to the Printer(s) and the LAN.

3. Connect the Network Cable

Use a standard 100BaseT LAN cable to connect the LevelOne Printer Server to your LAN.

4. Power Up and Check

Plug in the power adapter cable, power up and check the LEDs.

The Power LED should be On.

The Status LED should flash, then turn Off. However, on the FPS-3002USB, the Status (Red) LED will remain on if the FPS-3002USB LevelOne Printer Server can't connect to the USB printer.

On the FPS-3001TXU, one of the network LEDs (10 or 100) should be On.

On the FPS-2112, The Red Error LED should flash, then turn Off. When the Error LED goes off and the ACT LED remains lit or flashes, the FPS-2112 LevelOne Printer Server is ready. The LAN LED should be ON.

Use only the Power Supply unit provided with the

LevelOne Printer Server.
