Installation
2.1 Connecting the Hardware
1. Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the Server’s Power Adapter
is disconnected.
2. Connect the USB devices to the USB ports with the USB cables.
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. When the Link indicator lights up, the Server is
correctly connected to the network. When USB1 and USB2 indicators stop flashing, the
Server starts to work normally.
2.2 Wireless connection
This section only applies to DN-13021/DN-13023.
2.2.1 Preliminary
Before you can access wireless network, wireless parameters should be set correctly.
You
have to
setup the first wireless parameter set through LAN (wired) connection.
Wireless access can be set as infrastructure (station) mode, which need an access
point to route network messages with the same SSID.
Wireless access can be secured by WEP (64/128), WPA-PSA (TKIP/AES), and
WPA2-PSK (AES).
In infrastructure mode, if network administrator wants to change any security related
parameters, DN-13021/DN-13023
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 150 MBits depending on access
point’s capability.
2.2.2
Set Wireless Configuration Using Control Center
1. Install USB Device Server Control Center. It is available in the DN-13021/DN-13023 USB
Device Server Product CD.
2. Start USB Device Server Control Center and Auto-searching USB device server window
will appear.
