Connect the Print Server

The PS101 Mini Print Server connects directly to the Centronics parallel port on your

printer. After connecting it to your printer, you then connect the print server to a

network device (like a hub, router, or switch).

Before you share the printer with the NETGEAR PS101 Mini

Print Server, you should have at least one computer connected

to an Ethernet network and have one unused port on an

Ethernet hub, switch, or router.

Note: For printers with a Mini-

Centronics C port, you will need to use

one of the other NETGEAR Print

Servers such as the PS111W, PS110 or

PS113 along with the correct cable.

Note: The procedures described in this guide are for a

TCP/IP-based network environment. For NetBEUI

protocol printing, please see the Reference Manual.

1. With the printer turned off, connect the print server to

the Centronics connector on the printer.

2. Insert one end of an Ethernet patch (or straight-through)

cable into an open Ethernet port in the network device

(hub, switch, or router) and insert the other end into the

Ethernet port on the print server.

Note: You may use a Category 3 (or higher)

Ethernet cable.

3. Turn the printer on.

4. Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back

of the print server and then plug the adapter into a

power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

When power has been applied to the print server:

The LINK light (green) should light up and may

blink to show network activity.

The ALERT light (yellow) should be off.

Note: If any light does not operate as indicated,

go to the Troubleshooting section on page 9.
