Square One Personal Internet Server is a revolutionary network appliance that
combines network storage, broadband router, hardware firewall, print server, and
Web server—all in one compact, easy-to-manage box. Square One gives you
everything you need to share an Internet connection among several computers,
backup and share files on the network, share a USB printer, access your files from
the Internet, and even host your own Web site or blog. Square One also features a
built-in memory card reader, and the included Memeo AutoBackup software backs
up your precious files to Square One continuously and transparently while you work.
1.2. Features
x High Capacity Network Drive
Square One’s internal large capacity hard drive provides convenient backup
and storage for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS clients through an industry-
standard Samba interface. Administrators can define folder access
permissions for individual users and groups. Award-winning Memeo software
is included for instant, automatic backup from Windows PCs.
x Broadband Router
Square One also acts as a Network Address Translation (NAT) router and
hardware firewall, allowing a single public IP address to provide secure
Internet connectivity for up to 250 computers. In addition to the integral 4-port
10/100 Mbps switch, a special DMZ port lets advanced users run public
servers behind the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall without
compromising the security of the rest of the network.
x Printer Sharing
With its USB port and integral print server, Square One turns an inexpensive
USB printer into a shareable IP-based printer. Print from any computer on the
network as if the printer were directly attached to it.

5. Using Square One
Unlike other network appliances or network storage devices, Square One is not
merely a network-enabling device but a tool for facilitating enhanced productivity or
enjoyment in your home or office computing. There are many ways to implement and
use Square One. We introduce a few basic uses of Square One’s server
functionalities in the following sections.
5.1. Using Network Storage
Square One’s network storage can be accessed by computers and devices
connecting to Square One over the LAN. There are two ways to access the network
storage: 1) using the network address and 2) mapping a network drive. Using the
network address establishes temporary access that is valid until you log off from
your computer. Mapping a network drive creates a convenient “shortcut” by
assigning a drive letter to the network folder.
Using the Network Address
There are multiple ways to connect to a network folder. Here is one simple method:
1. Right-click the Start button and select Explore.
2. At the Windows Explorer screen, type in \\192.168.10.1\
and press enter.
User’s Guide

Corporation.com.
User’s Guide
56
Mapping a Network Drive
Instead of using the network address each time you wish to access the network
storage, you can map a Network Drive to establish a permanent shortcut. You can
then address the network drive as though it is one of the local drives on your
computer.
1. First, connect to Square One’s network storage using the network address.
2. At Windows Explorer, right-click the network folder you wish to map to a
drive letter, then select Map Network Drive.

4. Wireless LAN Advanced Setup
This page sets up detailed Wireless LAN environments.
ྙ Basic Rate specifies basic transmission rate. The default value of Basic
Rate is 4095.
ྚ Transmission Rate (Baud Rate) specifies the date transmitting bits per
second.
ᐯ Beacon Interval indicates a frequent interval value packet broadcasted by
the router to synchronize end devices within the wireless network. If Beacon
Interval is too big, synchronization will take too long. Basic unit of Beacon
Interval is in milliseconds (ms).
The default value of Beacon Interval is 100 ms and the range of Beacon
Interval is 1-65,535 ms.
User’s Guide
72
ྜ DTIM Interval is a packet sent as a part of beacon. It alerts to a client
device (PCs or Printers) from sleep mode (Power Save Mode). DTIM
packets are transmitted at an interval of DTIM interval multiplied by Beacon
interval. (Example, If Beacon interval is 100 and DTIM Interval is 3, DTIM
packets are transmitted every 100 * 3 = 300 ms)
ྜྷ Fragmentation threshold indicates maximum packet size before data gets
fragmented into smaller but multiplied packets. This is used when large
packets are fragmented into smaller packets according to network’s
physical requirement. Values between 256 and 2346 bytes are used and
the default value is 2346 bytes.
ྞ RTS threshold is used for data flow control during wireless data
communication by using RTS/CTS protocol. Square One sends Request to
Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
sending of a data. After, Square One send an RTS, the wireless end device
(Client Device) responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to let Square
One know when or how to begin data transmission. The range of RTS
threshold is values between 0 to 2347 bytes and the default value is 2347
bytes.
