Chapter 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 601/601n, 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 601n/604n.

3.3.1. 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).

 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.
