Introduction
This chapter provides details of your LevelOne Printer Server's
features and components.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LevelOne Printer Server. This device was
designed to provide a simple and efficient network printing solution.
Features
Versatility.
The LevelOne Printer Server supports up to five protocols: NetWare,
TCP/IP, SMB (Service Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and NetBEUI.
Operating system support includes Unix, Novell, and Microsoft Windows.
Easy Installation.
The LevelOne Printer Server makes adding printers or plotters to
your network simple.
DHCP Client Support.
If your LAN has a DHCP Server, the LevelOne Printer
Server can act as a DHCP client; automatically obtaining an IP address from the DHCP
Server on your LAN. The LevelOne Printer Servers also support “Auto-IP”, and will
self-assign an IP address if no DHCP Server is detected.
Easy Setup.
A number of utility programs are supplied to simplify setup. For
Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP users, the Windows-based Wizard makes it easy to
configure the LevelOne Printer Server for a variety of network and server
configurations.
Web-based interface.
The LevelOne Printer Server incorporates a Web-based
interface to provide an easy method of configuration in TCP/IP networks. When using
this method, no software needs to be installed.
Compact Size.
This allows the LevelOne Printer Server to be used even where space
is limited.
Remote Management Tools.
A variety of software tools are provided. In most
environments, both the LevelOne Printer Server and attached bi-directional printers can
be configured remotely.
SNMP Support.
The FPS-3001TXU LevelOne Printer Server can act as a SNMP
agent, with it own MIB. This allows TCP/IP users to monitor, configure and
troubleshoot the LevelOne Printer Server using their existing SNMP management tools.
Internet Printing.
Using TCP/IP, the LevelOne Printer Server can be configured to
allow clients, suppliers, colleagues and others to print to one of your printers from
