Chapter3 Basic Installation

3.1 Connecting the Hardware

1. Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the MFP

server’s Power Adapter is disconnected.

2. Connect the USB devices to the USB ports using the USB cables.

3. Connect the MFP server to the network using a twisted pair category 5

cable, 10baseT or 100baseTX (after the wireless parameters are set

correctly, that cable should be removed to let wireless station mode

work).

 After the wireless parameters are set correctly, that cable should be

removed to let wireless station mode work. However, LAN access is still

referable, and can work together with wireless ad-hoc mode.

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. When the Link

indicator lights up, the server is correctly connected to the network.

Wh en USB1 and USB2 indicators do not flash, the server starts to work

normally.

6. If you connected USB HP printers to server, please press the Init

button for 3 seconds on the server once to print a page of server

configuration report.

3.2 Wireless connection

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 connection.

 Wireless access can be set as 1. Infrastructure (station) mode, which

need an access point to route network messages, or 2. Ad-hoc mode,

which connect nearby wireless PC/devices with the same SSID

(Service Set ID).

 Wireless access can be secured by WEP64, WEP128, or

WPA-PSK/TKIP.

 In infrastructure mode, if network administrator wants to change any

security related parameters, WUS-3200 should be changed first,

8

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 54 MBits

depending on access point’s capability. In ad-hoc mode, only

802.11b (the maximal transfer rate is 11 MBits) is allowed by

specification.

3.2.2 Set Wireless Configuration Using MFP Server Control Center

1. Install MFP Server Control Center. MFP Server Control Center is

available in the WUS-3200 USB MFP Server Product CD.

2. Start MFP Server Control Center and Auto-searching MFP server

window will appear.

 If the wireless parameters are not correct or not set yet, you have to use LAN

to access MFP Server Control Center.

3. If the tool finds MFP servers in your local area network, then you have

to select a MFP server from the server list.

9

4. Double click the highlight list and type the server’s administrator

(default: admin) and password (default: admin).

5. After you login successfully, from the Server menu, select wireless. The

set Wireless dialog appears.

10

6. In order to join an existing wireless network, you have to set the

correct network type (infrastructure or ad-hoc), SSID, and the correct

security method with the correct key information.

7. If the wireless network is secured by WEP64 or WEP128, authentication

method, key index, and WEP key must be set correctly.

8. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK/TKIP, the shared key

must be set correctly.

11

9. Click Apply to save your settings. And the server will reboot.

10. You have now finished the procedure of setting the wireless

parameters.

 In infrastructure mode, WUS-3200 searches all channels to join the matched

wireless service set. In ad-hoc mode, WUS-3200 searches all channels to join the

matched wireless ad-hoc service set too, however, if none are found, WUS-3200

creates that service set in the assigned channel.

 In ad-hoc mode, WPA-PSK/TKIP is not allowed.

3.2.3 Set Wireless Configuration Using Server’s Web Pages

1. You can see the IP address of MFP server in the server list. Open IE

Browser and type server’s IP address or click the Home Icon of MFP

Server Control Center.

12

 If the wireless parameters are not correct or not set yet, you have to use LAN

to access Web Pages.

 If the TCP/IP parameters of WUS-3200 are not correct, you have to use MFP

Server Control Center to set the TCP/IP parameters first.

2. Go to the web page and click CONFIG icon.

3. Login your administrator (default: admin) and password (default:

admin).

4. Click Wireless icon.

13

5. In order to join an existing wireless network, you have to set the

correct network type (infrastructure or ad-hoc), SSID, and the correct

security method with the correct key information.

6. If the wireless network is secured by WEP64 or WEP128, key index and

WEP key must be set correctly.

14

7. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK/TKIP, the shared key

must be set correctly.

15

8. Click Submit to save your settings. And the server will reboot.

9. You have now finished the procedure of setting the wireless

parameters.

 In infrastructure mode, WUS-3200 searches all channels to join the matched

wireless service set. In ad-hoc mode, WUS-3200 searches all channels to join the

matched wireless ad-hoc service set too, however, if none are found, WUS-3200

creates that service set in the assigned channel.

 In ad-hoc mode, WPA-PSK/TKIP is not allowed.

3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the MFP Server

3.3.1 Preliminary

 If you have a DHCP server on your network, your MFP server will

receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will then appear on

user software: WUS-3200 MFP Server Control Center or on the page of

configuration report that you printed earlier. If your DHCP server does

not give IP address to the server, the server will use the Factory IP

address: 192.168.1.100.

 If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set an IP

address of MFP server manually.

3.3.2 Ethernet Address

You do not need to know the Ethernet address of your WUS-3200 USB MFP

server for assigning an IP address to it. MFP Server Control Center software

can automatically search MFP servers and list their Ethernet addresses.

Besides, you can find Ethernet address that is located on the backside label of

the server.

3.3.3 IP Address

Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an

unused IP address from your network administrator.

3.3.4 Methods for Setting the IP Address

You can set the IP address of your WUS-3200 USB MFP server using one of

the following methods, depending on your network operating environment:

 Automatic IP Address Assignment

 Manual IP Address Assignment

16

3.3.5 Host Names and Host Name Rules

The host name of the WUS-3200 USB MFP server is specified by

“WUS-3200”in Factory Parameter. If you put two or more MFP servers in your

local area network, to avoid using same host names you have to change the

host names by using MFP Server Control Center or server’s web pages. If

your host name is longer than 15 characters, WUS-3200 USB MFP server

limits the length of host name to 15 characters.

3.3.6 Set the IP Address Using DHCP

Follow the instructions below to get an IP address using DHCP:

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The

entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters:

 range of IP addresses

 subnet mask

 default router IP address

 DNS server IP address

 lease duration

2. Activate the scope. The MFP server automatically gets the DHCP

parameters. If you are using DNS, you may include at least one DNS

server IP address in the DHCP scope or manually set DNS server IP in

MFP server’s web pages or MFP Server Control Center tool.

3.3.7 Set the IP Address Using MFP Server Control Center

1. Start MFP Server Control Center and Auto-searching MFP server

window will appear.

2. If the tool finds MFP servers in your local area network, then you have

to select a MFP server from the server list.

17

3. Double click the highlight list and type the server’s administrator

(default: admin) and password (default: admin).

4. After you login successfully, from the Server menu, select TCP/IP. The

Set IP Address dialog appears.
