Introduction
Overview
TROY XCD external print servers allow multiple host computers
to share virtually any type of printer or plotter on high-speed
local area network. The Pony Print Server Plus is an
ultracompact low-cost Ethernet print server for a single printer,
while the Pony 100, XConnect II and XConnect II Lite connect
up to two printers to an Ethernet network. The XConnect 100
handles up to four printers and works on both Ethernet (10baseT)
and Fast Ethernet (100baseT) networks.
Any user can print jobs on a printer or plotter connected to a
TROY XCD external print server as if it were directly attached
to his computer. No special software is required on the host
computers, and application programs run without any

modification. Because the TROY XCD external print servers
provide multiprotocol capabilities, users on DEC, UNIX, Novell,
AppleTalk, LAN Server, Windows NT, Windows 95, LAN
Manager, and Banyan VINES computers can simultaneously
access the same printer. With the optional XConnect II
LocalTalk feature, non-Ethernet Macintosh computers can also
access the same printer. Figure 1-1 shows how TROY XCD
external print servers are used in a typical network.
Features
TROY XCD external print servers offer the widest range of
features in the industry, including:
•TCP/IP, NetWare, AppleTalk, DLC/LLC, NetBEUI, LAT,
and VINES IP protocols (protocols supported depend on
model)
• Network Operating System compatibility:
- Digital Equipment Corporation networks, including
PATHWORKS and DECprint Supervisor ((not available
on XConnect II Lite)
- UNIX systems that support either the Berkeley lpr/lpd
printing protocol, the HP JetDirect card, or printing to a
raw TCP port
- Novell NetWare V2.15 or above, V3.xx, or V4.xx,
including support for bindery mode and Novell Directory
Services (NDS)*
- AppleTalk Phase 2 (XConnect II and XConnect 100 only)
- Windows NT and NTAS V3.5 or above
- IBM OS/2, LAN Server, Warp Server
- Windows 95 (Peer-to-Peer or client mode; not supported
on XConnect II Lite)
- Windows for Workgroups (Peer-to-Peer or client mode;
Peer-to-Peer requires DLC/LLC support on print server)
Introduction 1-3
*The NDS support on the XJet III (all models), XJet IV-2, XJet IV-T,
plus certain models of the XJet IV-Plus is limited to NPrinter mode
only.
• Very high performance DMA operation (XConnect 100 and
XConnect II only)
• High-speed Centronics parallel port compatible with IEEE
P1284 Bitronics bidirectional parallel interface standard
• Serial port for console terminal or second printer
• Optional LocalTalk support (XConnect II only)
• Superior network and printer management
- Compatible with Hewlett-Packard JetAdmin and Web
JetAdmin printer management software
- XAdmin Windows-based management utility (NetWare,
TCP/IP, or VINES)

- SNMP MIB I and MIB II over IP or IPX (XConnect II
and XConnect 100 only)
- Remote console management via DEC NCP, TELNET,
NetWare, or serial port
• PrintraNet software for transparently sending documents to
remote locations over the Internet
• lpd-Plus feature for providing multiple services with custom
setup and reset strings, text-to-PostScript conversion, and
character substitution
• Flash memory for easy updating of firmware via NetWare,
BOOTP, tftp (master or slave mode), DEC MOP, Banyan
VINES, or serial port
Introduction 1-4
• AppleTalk spoofing capabilities for support of non-
bidirectional parallel printers
• AppleTalk binary support on printers that support the HP
Tagged Binary Communications Protocol
• IP address configuration via DHCP, BOOTP, rarp, arp,
serial port, XAdmin, or remote console.
- IP security to restrict printing based on IP address
• Optional DEC LN03 emulation (XConnect II and XConnect
100 only)
TROY XCD External Print Server Models
The TROY XCD External Print Server family includes the
following models:
• Pony Print Server The Pony Print Server is the industry's
smallest full-featured external print server. It plugs directly
into the parallel port of the printer, and supports a 10baseT
Ethernet interface. The Pony Print Server is available in the
following models:
PPS-8S IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, DLC/LLC,
NetBEUI, Direct Mode IPX/IP, http
PPS-8 IPX/SPX*, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, Direct
Mode IPX/IP, LAT, http
PPS-8N IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, DLC/LLC,
NetBEUI, Direct Mode IPX/IP, LAT,
VINES IP, http
*PPS-8 NDS support is limited to NPRINTER remote printer mode only
• XConnect II. The XConnect II is an external print server
that supports the LAT, TCP/IP, NetWare, and AppleTalk
