DP-G310 User's Manual
The D-Link DP-G310 Print Server is an 802.11g wireless USB 2.0 high-speed Print Server that can also connect
to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network. Now you can locate USB printer services virtually anywhere in your home
or office. The DP-G310 manages the flow of print files from workstations or file servers to connected printers,
delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a file server on a PC. With one USB 2.0 port, the DP-G310 can
connect to almost any printer with a USB port.
The DP-G310 includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based networks. Protocol support for
TCP/IP , NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to ensure seamless connection to major networking operating
systems.
The DP-G310 has a built in Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage
print queues through TCP/IP . The DP-G310 also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-G310 improves network printing services in the following ways:
1. The DP-G310 delegates print jobs to the connected USB printer. This provides workload relief to your file
servers and allows the file servers' full capacity to be used for file access or other direct services to network
users. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without increasing the load
of another workstation or server.
2. Because the DP-G310 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and the Print
Server connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum
convenience to users.
The DP-G310 offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols:
TCP/IP
UNIX lpr/lpd
Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows XP
NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote Printing
NetBEUI
Windows 2000/XP , Windows 95/98SE/ME, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server
AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
Windows-based setup and administration software, PS Admin, is supplied with the Print Server, making
configuration and management quick and easy. The Print Server also supports configuration and management
via the Telnet protocol for networks without Windows-compatible systems.
* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary.
Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction,
and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate.
