he Ethernet IPDS Print Server provides reliable AS/400 to LAN printing. The print server converts native AS/400 print jobs from EBCDIC to ASCII, freeing the host or client PCs from the often heavy overload associated with printing. The print server works via a single network interface: choose either 10BASE2 BNC or 10BASE-T/100BASE-T RJ-45. The print server acts as a node in the local area network with its own unique network address. It receives data from across the network in packets and converts the packets to a format that serial or parallel printers can recognize.

When printing from ASCII hosts (PC, UNIX), the print server supports the following protocols: • TCP/IP—Used by UNIX , NetWare , Windows NT , and OS/2 . • IPX/SPX—Used by NetWare. • NetBIOS—Used by Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, and OS/2. The print server can support printing from several different types of hosts at the same time. This expands the capability of a printer attached to a print server, yet still provides the benefits of a dedicated host-printer relationship: ®

• In LAN printing, you may have UNIX systems, Windows, and PCs running OS/2, all using various combinations of NetWare and TCP/IP. All systems can send their printed data to a single print server. • The print server can support up to 10 different AS/400 hosts for each printer (when using TS5250e), greatly expanding the number of hosts that can use the printers attached to a print server. The complete package includes: • Ethernet IPDS Print Server • User’s manual • PrintControl™ installation diskette • TCP/IP DirectPort™ installation diskette • Power supply
Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value. Exceptional Tech Support. Period. Recognize any of these situations? • You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support. • The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you. • It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed. According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely

important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
