Chapter 2 Basic Installation

2.1 Connecting the Hardware

1. Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the Server’s Power Adapter is disconnected.

2. Connect the USB devices to the USB ports with the USB cables.

3. Connect the Server to the network with 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 stop flashing, the Server starts to work normally.

2.2 Wireless connection

This section only applies to DN-13023.

2.2.1 Preliminary

 Before you can access wireless network, wireless parameters should be set correctly.

You have to setup the first wireless parameter set through LAN (wired) connection.

 Wireless access can be set as infrastructure (station) mode, which need an access

point to route network messages with the same SSID.

 Wireless access can be secured by WEP (64/128), WPA-PSA (TKIP/AES), and

WPA2-PSK (AES).

 In infrastructure mode, if network administrator wants to change any security related

parameters, DN-13023 should be changed first, and then access point. If parameters mismatch causes wireless access is not allowed, you have to modify those parameters through LAN connection.

 In infrastructure mode, the maximal transfer rate is 150MBits depending on access

point’s capability.

2.2.2 Set Wireless Configuration Using Control Center

1. Install USB Device Server Control Center. It is available in the DN-13023 USB Device Server Product CD.

2. Start USB Device Server Control Center and Auto-searching USB device server window will appear.

 If the wireless parameters are not correct or not set yet, you have to use LAN to access USB Device Server Control Center.

4. If the tool finds USB device servers in your local area network, then you have to select a server from the server list.

5. Double click the highlighted server (or click the “Configure Server” button) to get the server’s web pages. Click CONFIG icon.

6. Login with administrator ID (default: admin) and its password (default: admin).

7. Click Wireless icon.

8. In order to join an existing wireless network, you have to set the correct SSID, and the correct security method with the correct key information.

9. If the wireless network is secured by WEP64 or WEP128, key index and WEP key must be set correctly.

10. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, the key formats, shared key and encryption must be set correctly.

11. Click Submit to save your settings. And the server will reboot.

12. You have now finished the procedure of setting the wireless parameters.

After properly configuring the wireless parameters, you can remove the network cable and reboot the DN-13023. DN-13023 will then connect to your wireless network. DN-13023 will detect if a network cable is plugged-in or not. If a network cable is plugged-in, DN-13023 will always connect to the network through the network cable. Otherwise it will always connect to the network through wireless module. Once DN-13023 connects to the network, either by network cable or by wireless module, all operations to use USB device server are exactly the same.

2.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Server

2.3.1 Preliminary

 If you have a DHCP server on your network, your Server will receive an IP address

automatically. The IP address will then appear on the Control Center or on the page of configuration report that you printed earlier. If your DHCP server does not give an IP address to the Server, the Server will use the automatic private IP addressing IP:

169.254.0.0. ~ 169.254.255.255

 If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the Server’s IP

address.

2.3.2 IP Address

Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.

2.3.3 Methods for Setting the IP Address

You can set the IP address of your Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network operating environment:

 Automatic IP Address Assignment

 Manual IP Address Assignment

2.3.4 Setting 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:

 range of IP addresses  subnet mask  default router IP address  DNS server IP address  lease duration

2. Activate the scope. The Server automatically gets the DHCP parameters. If you are using DNS, you may include at least one DNS server IP address in the DHCP scope or manually set the DNS server IP address using Server’s web pages or the Control Center.

2.3.5 Setting the IP Address Using the Control Center

1. Install the Control Center. The Control Center is available on the Product CD.

2. Start the Control Center and Auto-searching Server window will appear.

3. If the tool finds multiple Servers in your local area network, then you have to select one Server from the Server List.

4. Double click the highlighted server (or click the “Configure Server” button) to get the server’s web pages. Click CONFIG icon.

5. Login with administrator ID (default: admin) and its password (default: admin).

6. Click the button corresponding to your choice of IP setting methods (static or dynamic using DHCP). When assigning a static IP address you also have to define Subnet Mask.

7. Click Submit to save your settings. And the Server will reboot. You have now finished the procedure of setting the IP address.
