Getting Started: SEH UTN Manager
After the SEH UTN Manager is started, the network has to be scanned for
connected UTN servers. The network range to be scanned is freely definable;
the search can be effected via multicast and/or in definable IP ranges. The
default setting is multicast search in the local network segment.
All UTN servers found and their connected USB dongles are displayed in the
'network list'. To use devices connected to the UTN server, you have to add the
UTN server to the 'selection list'. The devices shown in the selection list can then
be administrated and the connected USB dongles can be used.
This chapter describes how to do these steps.
• ’Starting the SEH UTN Manager’ 11
• ’Finding the UTN Server and Assigning an IP Address’ 12
• ’Adding the UTN Server to the Selection List’ 13

Detailed information on how to use the SEH UTN Manager can
be found in the Online Help. To start the online help, go to the
menu bar and select Help – Online Help.
Important:
Client and UTN server communicate via the UTN port
9200. This port must not be blocked by a security
software (firewall). If necessary, you can change the port
number and use a secure UTN SSL port. A detailed
description can be found in the dongleserver User
Manual. The documentation is available via the link on
page 9.

Starting the SEH UTN Manager
You recognize the SEH UTN Manager by its icon: . The program is started
with the usual methods of your operating system.
Important:
During the initial configuration, client and UTN server
must be assigned to the same local network segment.

12 [en] Quick Installation Guide
Finding the UTN Server and Assigning an IP Address
Once the UTN server is connected to the network, it checks if it gets an IPv4
configuration (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) dynamically via the boot
protocol DHCP. If this is not the case, the UTN server assigns itself an IP address
via Zeroconf from the address range reserved for Zeroconf (169.254.0.0/16).
The UTN servers found by the program will be displayed in the network list. If
required, you can change the TCP/IP parameters of the UTN server.
1. Confirm the note dialog Your Selection List seems to be empty with Yes.
If the note dialog is not available and the main dialog appears instead, select Selection List –
Edit in the menu bar.

Connecting the USB Dongle to the Client
To use a USB dongle, a point-to-point connection is established between the
client and the USB port of the UTN server to which the USB dongle is connected.
The USB dongle can then be used as if it were directly connected to the client.
The USB port is shown in the selection list 13.
All provisions (driver installation, etc.) necessary to operate the USB dongle
locally (i.e. connected directly to the client) have been met on the client. Ide-
ally, the USB dongle has been connected and operated on the client locally
according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
The USB port is not connected to another client.
1. In the selection list, select the port.
