Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of your Print Server’s
features.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Print Server. This device was designed
to provide a simple and efficient network printing solution. It is packed with features,
including:
Ø
Versatility.
The Print Server supports up to five protocols: NetWare, TCP/IP,
SMB (Service Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and NetBEUI. It features
two Ethernet interface ports and operating system support includes Unix, Novell,
and Microsoft Windows.
Ø
Easy Installation.
The Print Server makes adding printers or plotters to your
network simple. The EN2024-6 EtherDuo-PS supports both 10Base2 and
10BaseT connections, while the CheetahPrint Power supports both 10BaseT and
100BaseT. With both models, the auto-sensing LAN interface means that there is
no need to set jumpers or perform software configuration to select the network
interface used.
Ø
Compact Size.
This allows the Print Server to be used even where space is
limited.
Ø
Remote Management Tools.
A variety of software tools are provided. In
most environments, both the Print Server and attached bi-directional printers can
be configured remotely.
Ø
SNMP Support.
The EP3003CheetahPrint Power-3003 can act as a SNMP
agent, with it own MIB. This allows TCP/IP users to monitor, configure and
troubleshoot the Print Server using their existing SNMP management tools.
Ø
Internet Printing.
Using TCP/IP, the EP3003 CheetahPrint Power-3003 can
be configured to allow clients, suppliers, colleagues and others to print to one of
your printers from anywhere on the Internet.
