3. Connect the Server to the network with 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. (For TE100-MP1U, only USB1 indicator will flash.) 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.
3.2 Wireless connection
This section only applies to TEW-MP2U.
3.2.1 Preliminary
Before you can access wireless network, wireless parameters should be set
correctly. You have to setup the first wireless parameter set throug h LAN (wired) connection.
Wireless access can be set as 1. Infrastructure (sta tion) mode, which need an
access point to route network messages, or 2. Ad-hoc mode, which connect nearby wireless PC/devices with the same SSID (Service Set ID).
Wireless access can be secured by WEP64, WEP128, or WPA-PSK/TKIP. In infrastructure mode, if network admi nistrator wants to change any security
related parameters, TEW-MP2U should be changed first, and then access point. If parameters mismatch causes wireless access is not allowed, you have to modify those parameters through LAN connection.
In infrastructure mode, the maximal transfer rate is 54 Mbps depending on
access point’s capability. In ad-hoc mode, only 802.11b (the maximal transfer rate is 11 Mbps) is allowed by specification.
3.2.2 Set Wireless Configuration Using MFP Server Control Center
1. Install MFP Server Control Center. MFP Server Control Center is available in the included Product’s CD-ROM.
2. Start MFP Server Control Center and Auto-Searching MFP Server window will appear.

14
7. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK/TKIP, the shared key must be set correctly.
15
8. Click Submit to save your settings. And the server will reboot.
9. You have now finished the procedure of setting the wireless parameters.
# In infrastructure mode , TEW-MP2U searches all channe ls to join the matched wireless
service set. In ad-hoc mode, TEW-MP2U searches all channels to join the matched wireless ad-hoc service set too, however, if none are found, TEW-MP2U creates that service set in the assigned channel.
# In ad-hoc mode, WPA-PSK/TKIP is not allowed.
After properly configuring the wireless parameters, you can remove the network cable and reboot the TEW-MP2U will detect if a network cable is plugged-in or not. If a network cable is plugged-in,
TEW-MP2U will always connect to the network through the network cable.
Otherwise it will always connect to the network through wireless module. Once
TEW-MP2U connects to the network, either by network cable or by wireless module,
all operations of print / scan / file server are exactly the same.
3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Server
3.3.1 Preliminary
TEW-MP2U. TEW-MP2U will then connect to your wireless network.
If you have a DHCP server on your network, your Server will receive an IP
address automatically. The IP address will then appear on the Control Center or on the page of configuration report that you printed earlier. If your DHCP server does not give an IP address to the Server, the Server will use the Default IP address: 192.168.1.100.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the
Server’s IP address.
3.3.2 Ethernet Address
You do not need to know the Ethernet address of your Server for assigning an IP address to it. The Control Center can automatically search Servers and list their Ethernet addresses. Besides, you can find Ethernet address that is located on the backside label of the Server.
3.3.3 IP Address
Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.
3.3.4 Methods for Setting the IP Address
You can set the IP address of your Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network operating environment:
Automatic IP Address Assignment Manual IP Address Assignment
16
3.3.5 Server Names and Server Name Rules
The default server name of the Server is “TE100-MP1U” or “TE100-MP2U” or “TEW-MP2U” . If you put two or more Servers in your local area network, to avoid using the same server names you have to change the server names by using the Control Center or the Server’s web pages. If your server name is longer than 15 characters, the Server uses only the first 15 characters.
3.3.6 Setting 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:
y range of IP addresses y subnet mask y default router IP address y DNS server IP address y lease duration
2. Activ ate the scope. The 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 the DNS server IP address using Server’s web pages or the Control Center.
3.3.7 Setting the IP Address Using the Control Center
11. Install the Control Center. The Control Center is available on the Product CD.
