Chapter 1:
Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys PrintServer for USB
with 4-Port Switch (PrintServer). The PrintServer will allow
you to network your printers.
The PrintServer lets you connect a USB printer directly to
your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to
print serving chores. In addition, the PrintServer includes
a 4-port 10/100 switch, so you can easily add more devices
to your network. All four ports are auto speed negotiating,
and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. Each
port independently negotiates the best speed and half- or
full-duplex mode, for up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth per
port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged
packets from being passed on into the network.
Front Panel
Status (Green) The Status LED will remain
continuously lit when a printer is correctly
connected to the PrintServer. The LED will
flicker when print jobs are being transmitted to
the printer over the network.
USB (Green/Orange) The USB LED lights up
green when a printer is connected. The USB LED
lights up orange when there is an error.
1, 2, 3, 4 (Green) These numbered LEDs,
corresponding with the numbered ports on the
PrintServer’s back panel, serve two purposes.
If the LED is continuously illuminated, the
PrintServer is successfully connected to a device
through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering,
the PrintServer is actively sending or receiving
data to the wired network.
