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

Getting Started

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

❖ 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.

Getting Started

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.

❖ 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

❖ Installing an 802.11B/Wi-Fi

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.

Getting Started

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.

A client connected to the Magnia SG30

Getting Started

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.
