Connecting the first client computer using the
seven LAN ports
The first step in setting up your Magnia SG20 is to connect a
client computer and configure the computer to access the
server.
Using the network cable, connect a desktop or notebook
computer to one of the seven LAN ports of the built-in switch
on the back of the unit.

Connecting a printer to the Magnia SG20
(optional)
An important feature of the Magnia SG20 is that it allows all
users on the network to share the same printer, rather than
having a printer connected to each individual computer. Each
user can submit print jobs, which will be queued on the
Magnia SG20 to be printed in the order received.
Connect the printer’s data cable to the Magnia SG20’s
parallel printer port.
Parallel port

A printer connected to the parallel port
The Magnia SG20 supports both the direct connect parallel
printer connection, or a network printer connection. If you
have a network printer, you can configure the Magnia SG20
to send print jobs to this network printer instead of
connecting it directly to the server. If you are connecting a
printer directly to the Magnia SG20’s parallel printer port,
you don’t need to configure the printer on the Magnia SG20.
If the printer is a network printer, connected to a local
network connection, you will have to configure the Magnia
SG20 to redirect print jobs to the printer. See “Configuring a
Shared Printer” on page 174.
Whether you have a network printer or a parallel printer,
Magnia SG20, you will have to install the printer on each of
the client computers using the Add Printer Wizard. See
“Connecting a printer to the Magnia SG20 (optional)” on
page 27.

(such as cable or DSL) or a corporate LAN. See
“Broadband connection” on page 36 for detailed
instructions.
❖ If broadband access is not available, you may connect the
server to a phone line and use a dial-up, phone-based ISP
(Internet Service Provider). See “Dial-up connection” on
page 37 for detailed instructions.
