The Lantronix Micro Print Server (MPS) is a multiprotocol print server that provides
shared network access to printers for a variety of network protocols and operating
systems. The MPS supports the AppleTalk (EtherTalk), Microsoft LAN Manager, Local
Area Transport (LAT), IPX (NetWare), and TCP/IP protocols. The MPS can queue
multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the order that they are received from the
hosts. The Centronics parallel port on the back of the MPS is compatible with the
Hewlett-Packard Bitronics interface, which allows bi-directional communication on the
parallel port.
There are three MPS models which are the same except for the Ethernet interface used.
The MPS1-T has an RJ45 port for 10BASE-T connections, the MPS1-2 has a BNC
connector for 10BASE-2 connections, and the MPS100 can auto-negotiate between
10BASE-T and 100BASE-T media connected to its RJ45 port. The features, installation
process, and conÞguration procedures are the same.
NOTE:
In this manual, all MPS models will be referred to as Òthe MPSÓ or
Òthe ServerÓ unless a distinction needs to be made between them.
