EtherFast 10/100 PrintServers

Dip Switches Settings (1 and 3-Port Models Only)

There are three small, white dip switches on the PrintServer that you can use
to set your PrintServer to auto-detect or manually set your network speeds.
These switches are on the left edge of the 3-Port PrintServer (EPSX3) and on
the front of the 1-Port PrintServer (PPSX1). A switch set in the down posi-
tion is ON. In the up position, the dip switch is OFF. Set your dip switches
as follows:

Dip Switch 1: This dip switch controls the Auto-Negotiation Mode, which
enables the PrintServer to automatically detect the speed (10Mbps or
100Mbps), polarity, and duplex of your network cabling. If Dip Switch 1 is
OFF in the up position, Dip Switches 2 and 3 are automatically disabled.

Dip Switch 2: This dip switch controls the PrintServer’s speed. For
100Mbps data transfer, set this dip switch OFF in the up position. For
10Mbps transfer, set the switch ON in the down position. When Dip Switch 1
is OFF, Dip Switch 2 is disabled.

Dip Switch 3: This dip switch controls the duplex mode of data transfer.
When this switch is set ON in the down position, data transfer runs in half
duplex mode. When this switch is set on OFF in the up position, data trans-
fer runs in full duplex mode. When Dip Switch 1 is OFF, Switch 3 is dis-
abled.

Your 1 and 3-Port Printserver LEDs

Following are the LEDs on the front of your PrintServer. The guide below
tells you what each LED means. Not all PrintServer models will have all the

LEDs.

Power

The Power LED lights up green when the PrintServer is
powered on.

Link

The Link LED lights up green when a successful connec-
tion is made between the PrintServer and your network
through the PrintServer’s Uplink Port. This LED is labeled
as Link/Act on the 2-Port model.

Status

The Status LED lights up green when the PrintServer runs
a self-diagnostic test while booting up. It turns off when the
diagnosis is successfully completed. If this LED stays on
too long, see page 44 for Troubleshooting.

Error

The Error LED lights up red when there is a problem with
the PrintServer or it is writing information to the
PrintServer. When assigning an IP address, this LED will
also light up for a few seconds.
