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 MFP Server
3.2.1 Preliminary
If you have a DHCP server on your network, your MFP server
will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will
then appear on user software: FPS-3003 MFP 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 FPS-3003 USB
MFP server for assigning an IP address to it. MFP Control Center
software can automatically search MFP servers and list their Ethernet
10
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
You can set the IP address of your FPS-3003 USB MFP server using
one of the 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 FPS-3003 USB MFP server is specified by
“FPS-3003”in Factory Parameter. If you put two or more KMFP servers
in your local area network, to avoid using same host names you have
to change the host names by LevelOne MFP Control Center or server’s
web pages. If your host name is longer than 15 characters, FPS-3003
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:
range of IP addresses
subnet mask
default router IP address
DNS server IP address
lease duration
2. Activate the scope. The MFP 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 DNS
server IP in MFP server’s web pages or LevelOne MFP Control
11
Center tool.
3.2.7 Set the IP Address Using LevelOne MFP Control Center
1. Install LevelOne MFP Control Center. LevelOne MFP Control
Center is available in the FPS-3003 USB MFP Server Product CD.
2. Start LevelOne MFP Control Center and Auto-searching MFP
server window will appear.
3. If the tool finds MFP servers in your local area network, then you
have to select a MFP server from the server list.
4. Double click the highlight list and type the server’s administrator
(default: admin) and password (default: admin).
12
5. After you login successfully, from the Server menu, select
TCP/IP. The Set IP Address dialog appears.
6. Click the button that corresponds to your choice of IP setting
method (static or dynamic using DHCP). When assigning a
static IP address you also have to define Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway. If you choose Automatically get IP by
DHCP, you can use desired DNS by clicking the Manual DNS
button and manually assigning a DNS.
7. Click Apply to save your settings. And the server will reboot.
8. You have now finished the procedure of setting the IP address.
3.2.8 Set the IP Address Using Server’s Web Pages
13
1. If you don’t know the current IP of server, you have to do the
Step1~Step4 of Set the IP Address Using LevelOne MFP
Control Center.
2. You can see the IP address of MFP server in the server list.
Open IE Browser and type server’s IP address or click the
Home Icon of LevelOne MFP Control center.
3. Go to the web page and click TCP/IP icon.
4. Login your administrator (default: admin) and password
(default: admin).
5. Click the button that corresponds 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 and
Default Gateway.

printer names. The system only allows a 12 characters
long USB device name. For example, the printer model
name is “psc 1300 series” and then the default printer
name will be set as “psc 1300 ser”.
2. If system can not get the printer model (For ex, you use
some parallel printers and use Parallel-to-USB cables to
connect the printers), the default printer names are set as:
USB1_Printer and USB2_Printer with respect to USB1 port
and USB2 port.
Set Printer Name
You can set yourself printer names by LevelOne MFP Control
Center or server’s web pages.
