1.1 myUTN
Purpose myUTN (myUSB to Network) allows you to access
non-network-ready USB devices (e.g. hard disks, printers etc.) in the
network. The USB devices will be connected to the USB port of the
UTN server. The software tool ’SEH UTN Manager’ regulates the
access of the USB devices.
The software is installed on all clients that are meant to access a
USB device in the network. The SEH UTN Manager shows the
availability of all USB devices that exist in the network and
establishes a connection between the client and the USB device.
System
Requirements
myUTN has been designed for the use in TCP/IP-based networks. The
SEH UTN Manager has been designed for use in Windows systems
(XP and later).
Procedure and Basic
Functions
After the SEH UTN Manager is started, the network will be scanned
for connected UTN servers. The network range to be scanned is freely
definable. All UTN servers found will be shown in the network list
together with the connected devices. The preferred devices will be
selected and added to the selection list. The devices in the selection
list can be connected to the client.

1.6 Saving the IP Address in the UTN Server
Why IP Addresses? An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network.
TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the
UTN server so that the device can be addressed within the network.
How Does the UTN
Server Obtain IP
Addresses?
UTN servers are shipped without an IP address. The UTN server is able
to assign itself an IP address during the initial installation. Boot
protocols are used to assign an IP address automatically to the UTN
server. Upon delivery, the boot protocols ’BOOTP’ and ’DHCP’ are
enabled.
Once the UTN server is connected to the network, it checks whether
an IP address can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or
DHCP. If this is not the case, the UTN server assigns itself an IP
address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved
for ZeroConf.
Once the UTN server has automatically received an IP address via a
boot protocol, you can save a freely definable IP address in the UTN
server. The UTN server’s assigned IP addresses can be determined and
changed using the software tools, ’SEH UTN Manager’ and
’InterCon-NetTool’; see: Ö16.
Different methods for the assignment of the IP address are described
in the following.
Automatic Methods
of IP Address
Assignments
• ’ZeroConf’ Ö13
• ’BOOTP’ Ö13
• ’DHCP’ Ö13
• ’Auto-Configuration (IPv6 Standard)’ Ö14
Manual Methods
of IP Address
Assignments
• ’InterCon-NetTool’ Ö14
• ’SEH UTN Manager’ Ö14
• ’myUTN Control Center’ Ö15
• ’ARP/PING’ Ö15

General Information
myUTN User Manual 13
ZeroConf
If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the UTN server
assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf. For this purpose, the UTN
server picks an IP address at random from the address range
(169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
The Domain Name Service via Bonjour can be used to resolve the IP
address.; see: ’How to Configure Bonjour’ Ö36.
BOOTP
The UTN server supports BOOTP, which means that the IP address of
the UTN server can be assigned via a BOOTP server.
Requirements ;The 'BOOTP' parameter has been activated, see: Ö29.
If the UTN server is connected, it asks the BOOTP host for the IP
address and the host name. The BOOTP host answers and sends a
data packet containing the IP address. The IP address is saved in the
UTN server.
DHCP
The UTN server supports DHCP, which means that the IP address of
the UTN server can be assigned dynamically via a DHCP server.
Requirements ;The 'DHCP' parameter has been activated, see: Ö29.
After the hardware installation, the UTN server asks a DHCP server for
an IP address by means of a broadcast query. The DHCP server
identifies the UTN server on the basis of its hardware address and
sends a data packet to the UTN server .
This data packet contains, among others, the IP address of the UTN
server , the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server. The
data is saved in the UTN server .

General Information
myUTN User Manual 14
Auto-Configuration (IPv6 Standard)
The UTN server can have an IPv4 address and several IPv6 addresses
at the same time. The IPv6 standard is used to automatically assign
IP addresses in IPv6 networks. When connected to an IPv6 network,
the UTN server will automatically obtain an additional link-local IP
address from the IPv6 address range.
The UTN server uses the link-local IP address to search for a router.
The UTN server sends so-called 'router solicitations' (RS) to the
special multicast address FF02::2. The available router will then
return a router advertisement (RA) containing the required
information.
With a prefix from the range of the global unicast addresses, the
UTN server can compose its own address. It simply replaces the first
64 bits (prefix FE80::) with the prefix that was sent in the RA.
Requirements ;The 'IPv6' parameter has been activated.
;The 'Automatic configuration' parameter has been activated.
To configure the assignment of IPv6 addresses; see: Ö32.
InterCon-NetTool
The IP Wizard of the InterCon-NetTool helps you to configure the
TCP/IP parameters, e.g. the IP address. You can manually enter the
desired IPv4 address and save it in the UTN server using the IP
Wizard. To configure an IPv4 address via the InterCon-NetTool; see:
Ö31.
SEH UTN Manager
You can manually enter the desired IPv4 address and save it in the
UTN server using the SEH UTN Manager. To configure an IPv4 address
via the SEH UTN Manager; see: Ö 30.

General Information
myUTN User Manual 15
myUTN Control Center
You can manually enter the desired IP address and save it in the UTN
server using the myUTN Control Center.
• To configure an IPv4 address via the myUTN Control Center; see:
Ö30.
• To configure an IPv6 address via the myUTN Control Center; see:
Ö32.
ARP/PING
The assignment of the IP address to the hardware address can be
done via the ARP table. The ARP table is an internal system file in
which the assignment is temporarily saved (about 15 min). This table
is administered by the ARP protocol.
By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP address
in the UTN server. If the UTN server already has an IP address, the 'arp'
and 'ping' commands cannot be used to save a new IP address.
However, an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16)
which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the
'arp' and 'ping' commands.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the
hardware address of the UTN server. If the data packet has been
successfully sent and received, the UTN server permanently saves the
IP address.
The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the
system used. Read the documentation for your operating system.
Requirements ;The 'ARP/PING' parameter has been activated, see: Ö29.
Edit the ARP table:
Syntax: arp -s <IP address><hardware address>
Example: arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff
Assign a new IP address to the UTN server:
Syntax: ping <IP address>
Example: ping 192.168.0.123
