3. Basic Installation
3.1. Connecting the Hardware
a) Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the Server’s Power Adapter is disconnected.
b) Connect the USB devices to the USB ports with the USB cables.
c) Connect the Server to the network with a twisted-pair category 5 cable, 10baseT or 100baseTX.
d) Turn on the USB devices and make sure it is ready for use.
e) Connect the Power Adapter to the Server. The power indicator will light up and USB1 and USB2 indicators
will flash in turn. (For PPS2101/PPS2101N, 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
3.2.1. Preliminary
a) 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.
b) Wireless access can be set as infrastructure (station) mode, which need an access point to route
network messages with the same SSID.
c) Wireless access can be secured by WEP (64/128), WPA-PSA (TKIP/AES), and WPA2-PSK (AES).
d) In infrastructure mode, if network administrator wants to change any security related parameters,
PPS2101N/PPS2104N 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.
e) In infrastructure mode, the maximal transfer rate is 150 MBits depending on access point’s
capability.
3.2.2. Set Wireless Configuration Using ShareHub Device Servers Control Center
a) Install ShareHub Device Servers Control Center. It is available in the Setup CD.
b) Start ShareHub Device Servers Control Center and Auto-searching ShareHub Device Servers
window will appear.
Note:
If the wireless parameters are not correct or not set yet, you have to use LAN to access ShareHub
Device Servers Control Center.
