1: Introduction
The Lantronix Micro Print Servers (MPS100, LPS1-T and LPS1-2 models) are multi-
protocol print servers that provide shared network access to printers for a variety of
network protocols and operating systems. The MPS supports the TCP/IP, IPX
(NetWare), Local Area Transport (LAT), AppleTalk, and LAN Manager protocols. The
LPS supports TCP/IP, NetWare, and LAT. Both types of servers can queue multiple
pending jobs and service those jobs in the order in which they are received from hosts.
The MPS100 can auto-negotiate between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T media connected
to its RJ45 port. The features, installation process, and configuration procedures are the
same. The LPS provides a twisted pair (10BASE-T) or BNC (10BASE-2) connector for
network connections.
Note: In this manual, all MPS and LPS servers will be referred to as “the
MPS” unless a distinction needs to be made between models.
