blinks, there is a problem with the USB device server or Power
Adapter.
LAN Indicator blinks to indicate wired network activity. If it is lit, it
indicates the wired network is applied. If it is not lit, it indicates that
the server does not connect to the wired network.
WLAN Indicator blinks to indicate wireless network activity. If it is lit,
it indicates the wireless network is applied. If it is not lit, it indicates
that the server does not connect to the wireless network.
USB Indicator(s) is lit while a USB device connects to a USB Port of
the USB device server. If it is not lit, or if it blinks, there is a problem
with the USB device or the USB device server.

Install the Driver of the USB Device
Some USB devices, like printers or MFPs (multifunction printers), require
to install vendor-supplied driver (usually on CDROM). For those USB
devices that do not need to install driver, please skip to next step.
A. Insert the CDROM into the CD drive and run the “autorun” program.
B. Follow the instructions of the installation program to install driver.
C. When the installation program asks you to plug-in the USB device, run
the “Control Center”.
D. In the Control Center, click the USB device server that has the desired
USB device attached.
E. Click the desired USB device as Fig4.
Figure 4 Click the Desired USB Device
Page 5
F. Click the “Connect” button. Then the message “Manually Connect by
your_computer_name” will be shown, as Fig5.
Figure 5 Device Connected
G. Now, the installation program will detect the USB device and continue
to install driver.
H. After the installation is completed, click the USB device in the Control
Center and then click the “Disconnect” button to disconnect the USB
device.
Use the USB Device
A. In the Control Center, click the USB device server that has the desired
USB device attached.
B. Click the desired USB device as Fig 4.
C. Click the “Connect” button. Then the message “Manually Connect by
your_computer_name” will be shown, as Fig 5.
D. Now, PC will detect the plug-in of the USB device. The “connect”
operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device
plug-in. That is to say, when you do a “connect” operation in the
Control Center, PC can then detect a USB device’s plug-in, although
actually you do not plug in any USB device.
E. Then, just use the USB device as if it is connected directly to your PC’s
USB port.
F. After you finish using the USB device, click the USB device in the
Control Center and then click the “Disconnect” button to disconnect
the USB device, as Fig 6. Other PCs can not “Connect” the USB
device until you “Disconnect” that USB device. That is to say, only one
PC is allowed to connect the USB device at the same time.

An Example of USB Storage
If you connect a USB storage, like Fig 7, your PC will have a new disk. If
the USB storage is a flash drive, the new disk is a “removable disk”.
Figure 7 The USB Storage
You can see the storage icon in the system tray, as Fig8.
