Chapter3 Basic Installation
3.1 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 the USB indicator will flash in turn. When the Link
indicator lights up, the Server is correctly connected to the network.
When the USB indicator stops flashing, the Server starts to work
normally.
3.2 Assigning an IP Address to the Server
3.2.1 Preliminary
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
setup software when it detects your print server. If your DHCP server
does not give an IP address to the Server, the Server will use the
automatic private IP addressing IP: 169.254.0.0. ~
169.254.255.255
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set
the Server’s IP address.
3.2.2 IP Address
Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an
unused IP address from your network administrator.
