The D-Link DP-101 is an Ethernet Print Server that attaches directly to a parallel printer. The DP-101 manages the flow of print files from network workstations or servers to its connected printer, freeing file servers and workstations from printing tasks. Its IEEE 802.3 Ethernet port and IEEE 1284 parallel interface allow it to connect virtually all Parallel printers directly to an Ethernet based LAN. The DP-101 provides the necessary advanced features, wide protocol support, and ease of use to fit well into networks ranging from small home networks, to the largest enterprise networks.The DP-101 ships complete with all the necessary software and drivers to attach to most PC or MAC networks. Protocol support for IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are all provided to ensure seamless connection to Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Mac OS, Unix, Novell and other major networking operating systems. PS Admin, a print server administration program, is included, enabling users to conveniently and securely configure and manage the DP-101 from any Windows workstation on the network. Integrated support for Telnet allows the device to be configured from non-Windows based workstations as well. The DP-101's MIBII SNMP support allows easy management from popular SNMP based management software programs.
