Chapter 1

Getting Started

This chapter provides a written quick start procedure. In addition to explaining how to connect the Toshiba Magnia SG30 Appliance Server and install the software, it introduces the unit’s features, and identifies each component.

What is the Toshiba Magnia SG30 Appliance Server?

The Toshiba Magnia SG30 Appliance Server is a device that allows you to quickly connect computers to form a single system through a built-in wired or wireless network. It provides all the basic networking capability you need to support small groups, a home office, or small business, including: file sharing, printer sharing, Internet gateway, and local intranet.

The Magnia SG30 is:

Simple to use and setup

Dedicated to a limited, but specific purpose

Extremely reliable

22	Getting Started
	Quick start procedure

Quick start procedure

If you have already planned your network and are an experienced computer user, this section should provide all the information you need. Otherwise, read “Planning your network” on page 79 before installing the Magnia SG30, and begin the installation process with “Unpacking the Magnia SG30” on page 24.

The basic steps for installing the Magnia SG30 are:

1Unpack all components.

2Assemble the additional components you will need: network cables or wireless network card for client

computers, printer cable (if you’re connecting a network printer), and telephone cable or Ethernet® cable (for connecting to the Internet).

3Locate and identify all ports.

For more information, see “Finding your way around” on page 25.

4Turn on the Magnia SG30.

5Connect the first client computer.

6Connect a printer to the USB port on the Magnia SG30 (optional).

7Connect the Magnia SG30 to your Internet connection (such as phone line to the modem, Ethernet connection from cable or DSL modems to the public Ethernet port).

8Run the Client Setup Wizard on the client computer. (Insert the Toshiba Magnia SG30 "Client Setupand Documentation CD". The CD program runs automatically after the Client Setup Wizard has finished and when you have activated the "Autostart Option" on your PC.) Select the option Connect this PC to your

Magnia SG30.

9Configure the Magnia SG30. (When you configure the first client computer, the Server Setup Wizard runs automatically after the Client Setup Wizard has finished.)

10Connect the rest of the client computers and run the Client Setup Wizard on each.

If you’re an experienced user, see “Features” on page 58.

The rest of this chapter explains each of these steps in more detail.

Locating the LCD display, status and power buttons

The LCD display indicates that the Magnia SG30 is on, provides access to the public and private network IP addresses, and displays warnings if any of the hardware is at the point of failure.

You can configure the display to provide information about the status of your Magnia SG30 such as: modem status, the date and time the last backup was performed, the availability of software upgrades, and so on.

The Status scroll button allows you to scroll through the information displayed on the LCD display.

The Power/Shutdown button turns the Magnia SG30 on and off. When you turn off the Magnia SG30, a message prompts you to press the button again as confirmation.

Magnia SG30 ports

The public Ethernet port connects the network to the Internet via a cable modem, DSL modem or an existing local area network (LAN). For more information about connecting the Magnia SG30 to a corporate network, see “Corporate environment” on page 83.

The LAN ports provide a built-in switch for connecting the individual client computers. For more information about adding a computer to the network, see “Configuring the first client computer” on page 34. (All local LAN ports are auto-sensing for uplink connection, and can be used to connect hubs or switches for additional client connections).

DEFINITION: The Toshiba Magnia SG30 Appliance Server is a computer through which your local area network (LAN) connects to the Internet.

Each computer connected to the Magnia SG30 is called a client.

An optional modem PCMCIA card allows the Magnia SG30 to dial out to the Internet, and a client computer to dial into the Magnia SG30. For more

information about using the Magnia SG30 modem, see “Stand-alone with modem connection” on page 81.

Installing an 802.11B/Wi-FiTM wireless LAN PCMCIA Card into a PCMCIA slot enables the Magnia SG30 to provide access to client computers that have 802.11B/Wi-Fi networking capability.

The reset button resets the Magnia SG30 CPU and restarts the system. For information, see “Problems when you turn on the Magnia SG30” on page 239.

The AC socket connects the Magnia SG30 to AC power (230 volt, 50 Hz line).

The fan provides cooling to the power supply.

The USB port connects a printer to the Magnia SG30. For more information about adding a printer to the network, see “Connecting a printer to the Magnia SG30 (optional)” on page 30.

28	Getting Started
	Turning on the Magnia SG30

Turning on the Magnia SG30

Place the Magnia SG30 where you can easily access the back panel. Connect the black power cable to the socket on the back of the Magnia SG30 and then to a wall outlet.

Connecting the power cable

The Magnia SG30 powers up in a few moments.

During the startup process, the Magnia SG30’s LCD displays a “warming up” message. When the startup process is complete, the LCD displays a date and time message.

LAN ports

Connecting the first client computer using the seven LAN ports

The first step in setting up your Magnia SG30 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.

30	Getting Started
	Connecting a printer to the Magnia SG30 (optional)

Connecting a printer to the Magnia SG30 (optional)

An important feature of the Magnia SG30 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 SG30 to be printed in the order received.

Connect the printer’s data cable to the Magnia SG30’s USB printer port. (If your printer uses a parallel cable instead of USB, a USB to parallel converting cable is required to connect with the Magnia SG30).

USB port

A printer connected to the USB port

The Magnia SG30 supports both the direct connect USB printer connection, or a network printer connection. If you have a network printer, you can configure the Magnia SG30 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 SG30’s USB printer port, you don’t need to configure the printer on the Magnia SG30. If the printer is a network printer, connected to a local network connection, you will have to configure the Magnia SG30 to redirect print jobs to the printer. See “Configuring a Shared Printer” on page 189.

NOTE: It is important that you remember the password of the first account you create using the Magnia SG30 "Client Setupand Documentation CD" or Administration Web site, because this password will be used to access these predefined accounts.

applianceadmin— Because this account cannot be deleted, it can be used to gain access to the Administration Web site if other accounts have been deleted.
