The Monarch Print Server Plus can connect to a 10baseT Ethernet. You will need
an unshielded twisted pair Ethernet hub with at least one unused port installed on
your network, plus an appropriate length of RJ45 modular cable.

1. Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the print server and the other end to a

port on the twisted pair Ethernet hub.

2. On power-up, the print server will run through a set of power-up diagnostics for

a few seconds. If the print server is operating properly, the TEST LED will
blink momentarily and then go out. If the TEST LED blinks continuously in a
regular pattern, there is a problem. If this is the case, first verify that you have
a good Ethernet connection and then try powering the unit off and then on
again. If the problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in this
manual.

3. After the LED goes out, it will blink randomly during normal operation.
