3. 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 USB1
and USB2 indicators will flash in turn. (For 1-port model, only USB1 indicator will
flash.) 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.
3.2 Wireless connection
This section only applies to wireless model.
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 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, the server 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.
3.2.2 Set Wireless Configuration Using Control Center
1. Install USB Device Server Control Center. It is available in the Product CD.
2. Start USB Device Server Control Center and Auto-searching USB device
server window will appear.
 If the wireless parameters are not correct or not set yet, you have to use LAN
to access USB Device Server Control Center.
