Chapter3 Basic Installation
3.1 Connecting the Hardware
1. Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the MFP server’s
Power Adapter is disconnected.
2. Connect the USB devices to the USB ports using the USB cables.
3. Connect the MFP server to the network using a twisted pair category 5 cable,
10baseT or 100baseTX.
4. Turn on the USB devices and make sure it is ready for use.
5. Connect the Power Adapter to the server. The power indicator will light up and
USB1 and USB2 indicators will flash in turn. When the Link indicator lights up,
the server is correctly connected to the network. When USB1 and USB2
indicators do not flash, the server starts to work normally.
6. If you connected USB HP printers to server, please press the Init button for 3
seconds on the server once to print a page of server configuration report.
3.2 Assigning an IP Address to the Server
3.2.1 Preliminary
If you have a DHCP server on your netw ork, your MFP server will receive an IP
address automatically. The IP address will then appear on user software:
Digitus DN-13007 MFP Server Control Center or on the page of configuration
report that you printed earlier. If your DHCP server does not give IP address to
the server, the server will use the Factory IP address: 192.168.1.100.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set an IP address of
MFP server manually.
3.2.2 Ethernet Address
You do not need to know the Ethernet address of your Digitus DN-13007 USB MFP
server for assigning an IP address to it. MFP Server Control Center software can
automatically search MFP servers and list their Ethernet addresses. Besides, you can
find Ethernet address that is located on the backside label of the server.
3.2.3 IP Address
Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP
address from your network administrator.
3.2.4 Methods for Setting the IP Address
Y ou can set the IP address of your Digitus DN-13007 USB MFP server using one of the
8
following methods, depending on your network operating environment:
Automatic IP Address Assignment
Manual IP Address Assignment
3.2.5 Host Names and Host Name Rules
The Host Name of the Server is specified by “DN-13007”in Factory Parameter. If you
put two or more MFP servers in your local area network, to avoid using same Host
Names you have to change the Host Names by using MFP Server Control Center or
server’s web pages. If your Host Name is longer than 15 characters, Digitus DN-13007
USB MFP server limits the length of Host Name to 15 characters.
3.2.6 Set the IP Address Using DHCP
Follow the instructions below to get an IP address using DHCP:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries
included in this scope should contain the following parameters:
y range of IP addresses
y subnet mask
y default router IP address
y DNS server IP address
y lease duration
2. Activate the scope. The MFP serv er automatically gets the DHCP par ameters. If
you are using DNS, you may include at least one DNS server IP address in the
DHCP scope or manually set DNS server IP in MFP server’s web pages or MFP
Server Control Center tool.
3.2.7 Set the IP Address Using Control Center
1. Install MFP Server Control Center. MFP Server Control Center is available in the
Digitus DN-13007 USB MFP Server Product CD.
2. Start MFP Server Control Center and Auto-searching MFP server window will
appear.
