You have to setup the first wireless parameter set through LAN (wired) 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, TEW-MP2U 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 54 Mbps depending on access point’s capability. In ad-hoc mode, only 802.11b (the maximal transfer rate is 11 Mbps) 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 included Product’s CD-ROM. 2. Start MFP Server Control Center and Auto-Searching MFP Server window will appear.
10 # 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. 4. Double click the highlighted server (or click the “Configure MFP Server” button) 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. 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 WEP 64 or WEP128, authentication method, key index, and WEP key must be set correctly.
11 8. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK/TKIP, the shared key must be set correctly.
12 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, TEW-MP2U searches all channels to join the matched wireless service set. In ad-hoc mode, TEW-MP2U searches all channels to join the matched wireless ad-hoc service set too, however, if none are found, TEW-MP2U 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.
13 # 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 TEW-MP2U 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.
14 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.
15 7. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK/TKIP, the shared key must be set correctly.
168. 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, TEW-MP2U searches all channels to join the matched wireless service set. In ad-hoc mode, TEW-MP2U searches all channels to join the matched wireless ad-hoc service set too, however, if none are found, TEW-MP2U creates that service set in the assigned channel. # In ad-hoc mode, WPA-PSK/TKIP is not allowed. After properly configuring the wireless parameters, you can remove the network cable and reboot the TEW-MP2U. TEW-MP2U will then connect to your wireless network. TEW-MP2U will detect if a network cable is plugged-in or not. If a network cable is plugged-in, TEW-MP2U will always connect to the network through the network cable. Otherwise it will always connect to the network through wireless module. Once TEW-MP2U connects to the network, either by network cable or by wireless module, all operations of print / scan / file server are exactly the same. 3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Server 3.3.1 Preliminary  If you have a DHCP server on your network, your Server will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will then appear on the Control Center or on the page of configuration report that you printed earlier. If your DHCP server does not give an IP address to the Server, the Server will use the Default IP address: 192.168.1.100.  If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the Server’s IP address. 3.3.2 Ethernet Address You do not need to know the Ethernet address of your Server for assigning an IP address to it. The Control Center can automatically search 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 Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network operating environment:  Automatic IP Address Assignment  Manual IP Address Assignment
173.3.5 Server Names and Server Name Rules The default server name of the Server is “TE100-MP1U” or “TE100-MP2U” or “TEW-MP2U”. If you put two or more Servers in your local area network, to avoid using the same server names you have to change the server names by using the Control Center or the Server’s web pages. If your server name is longer than 15 characters, the Server uses only the first 15 characters. 3.3.6 Setting 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: y range of IP addresses y subnet mask y default router IP address y DNS server IP address y lease duration 2. Activate the scope. The 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 the DNS server IP address using Server’s web pages or the Control Center. 3.3.7 Setting the IP Address Using the Control Center 11. Install the Control Center. The Control Center is available on the Product CD. 12. Start the Control Center and Auto-searching Server window will appear. 13.

38 Chapter5 Print Server in Unix/Linux This chapter describes how to add network printers to Unix/Linux PC. 5.1 Configuring Host File If using IP administration system like DNS, manually registering the Server Name and IP address may be not required. Otherwise, you have to edit hosts file and contact your network administrator. 1. Log in to Linux machine by “root”. # login root 2. Register the Server’s Server Name and IP address into /etc/hosts file. To edit host file, use an editor, e.g. “vi”. Example: The IP address is “192.168.1.100”, Server Name is “MP2U” 192.168.1.1 dns # DNS Server 192.168.1.2 mail # Mail Server 192.168.1.100 MP2U # Server 3. Switch on the Server. Verify the network connection by using the ping command. # ping MP2U If there is no response or error occurs, there may be problems with IP address configuration, host file editing or network status. Please contact your network administrator. 5.2 Printing by LPD/LPR This section explains how to print using LPD protocol of TCP/IP. For further information on “lpr” and “lp” commands, refer to your workstation manual. LPD Protocol: LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is a protocol that enables you to execute printing to a printer on the network. Remote-Printer Queue: The Server has two remote printer queues: USB1_LQ and USB2_LQ with respect to USB port 1 and UB port2. To print files using a printer driver, use “lp” or “lpr”. 5.3 Using the Server on BSD UNIX/Linux 1. Log in to the BSD Unix machine through “root”. # login root 2. Register the Server into /etc/printcap file. Example: To register the printer of USB1 port by the printer name “Printer1”. Printer1:\ ---(A) :lp=:rm=MP2U:rp=USB1_LQ:\ ---(B)
39:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Printer1:\ ---(C) :lf=/var/spool/lpd/Printer1/Printer1_errs: ---(D) where (A) Describes the printer name. (B) lp: Device file name to connect printer. No name designation required on the network. rm: Server Name for the remote printer. Enter the Server Name registered to /etc/hosts file. rp: Remote printer name. Please input the remote printer queue name. (C) sd: Spool directory name. It must be the absolute path. (D) lf: Error log file name. It must be the absolute path. 3. Create the spool directory and error log file registered to /etc/printcap file. Example: To create the spool directory “Printer1” and error log file “Printer1_errs”. # mkdir /var/spool/lpd/Printer1 Create the spool directory # touch /var/spool/lpd/Printer1/Printer1_errs Create the error log file # chown -R daemon /var/spool/lpd/Printer1 Change the owner to daemon # chgrp -R daemon /var/spool/lpd/Printer1 Change the group to daemon 4.

55 Chapter7 The NetUSB Technology 7.1 Introduction The goal of TE100-MP1U/TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U USB MFP Server is to provide the print/scan/file server in a single product. For printers and scanners, there is no industrial standard. In order to support many different models of printers and scanners from various vendors, one way is putting so many printer/scanner drivers into a single product. Obviously this is very hard and not practical. We have developed a new technology, called “NetUSB”, to solve this problem. With the NetUSB technology, it is not necessary to implement printer/scanner drivers in TE100-MP1U / TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U. Actually, TE100-MP1U/TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U relies on printer/scanner drivers that are installed on PCs. By the way, in the field of traditional network print server, the common protocols used are, for example, SMB/CIFS, LPR, raw TCP, and IPP. However, in order to reduce cost, many printer vendors produce so-called GDI or host-based printers. For technical reasons, these kinds of printers can not work with the traditional network printer protocols. The NetUSB technology can also deal with the problem. The basic concept and the usage of NetUSB will be introduced in this chapter. In summary, TE100-MP1U/TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U has a totally different technology, “NetUSB”, to deal with printers and scanners (MFPs). A. For printers, some special kinds of printers, such as GDI printers or host-based printers, can not work well with traditional print server technology as described in the previous chapters. Users should use the NetUSB technology to deal with these kinds of printers. B. For MFPs or scanners, the NetUSB technology is able to support almost all models from all MFP/scanner vendors.. C. For USB mass storage, such as USB hard drives and flash drives and card readers on some kinds of MFPs, users can also use the NetUSB technology to access them in single-user mode. By this way, NTFS file system is supported for read/write. To use the NetUSB technology to access storage, please set the storage access mode to NetUSB mode. Please refer to chapter 8 for how to set the storage access mode. Note: The default storage access mode is server mode. 7.2 Connect & Disconnect “NetUSB” allows you to use USB printers or USB MFPs as if they were connected directly to your PC although they are actually connected to the TE100-MP1U /TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U USB MFP Server. The “connect” operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device plug-in. That is to say, when you do a “connect” operation in the Control Center, PC can then detect a USB device’s plug-in, although actually you do not plug in any USB device. Similarly, the “disconnect”
56operation is a software operation that simulates the disconnection of the USB device. Once the connect operation is successful, the operations to use that USB device are just the same as if the USB device is directly connected to the PC. If a USB device is “connected” by a PC, we say that PC has the ownership of the USB device. Only one PC can get the ownership of a USB device at the same time. For printers, users can mix print jobs with traditional printing protocols, such as LPR or SMB or IPP, and with the NetUSB printing, as long as the printer is in “disconnect” state (that is, no PC get the ownership of that printer.) when a print job with traditional protocols occurs. For USB storage, if the storage access mode is in NetUSB mode, users can only use NetUSB technology to access storage. On the other hand, if the storage access mode is in server mode, users can only use FTP or SMB to access storage. 7.3 How to Use 7.3.1 Remote Installation Here we will describe how to use the NetUSB technology to do “remote installation” for a USB device. Before using the NetUSB technology, you must first make sure that your PC can access USB MFP Server via TCP/IP. The simplest way to do this is using “Control Center” to search for the USB MFP Server on the network and change its IP address to be the same subnet as your PC. If the MFP Server and your PC are not in the same TCP/IP subnet, Control Center will show the MFP Server in green, as the following figure. You must change the IP address (or using DHCP) of the MFP Server so that the MFP Server and your PC are in the same subnet. Control Center will show these MFP Servers in blue, meaning you can safely access these MFP Servers by the NetUSB technology. The steps to do remote installation for USB devices, like MFPs: A. Turn on the TE100-MP1U/TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U and the USB device. B. Connect the USB device to TE100-MP1U/TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U. The LED of the USB port will light-on. C. Run the Control Center. In the “USB MFP Server List” window, you can see the server names and IP addresses all of the TE100-MP1U/TE100-MP2U/TEW-MP2U Servers (in blue) on the network, as the following figure.
57 D. Click the server. Then all USB devices attached on the server will be shown. E. Please follow the user manual of the USB device to do the driver installation. For example, you may put the driver CD of the USB device in the CDROM to install the driver. F. When you are asked to plug in the USB device into PC’s USB port, either before running the driver setup program or during the execution of the driver setup program (This depends on the USB device. Please check the user manual from the vendor.), click the desired USB device in the Control Center and then click the “Connect” button to do the connect operation and get the ownership of the USB device, as the following figure. The computer name of the device owner will be shown at the end of the device.
58 G. PC will automatically detect the plug-in of the USB device. On the right side of Windows Task Bar, you can see the information of the new device. Continue to follow the user manual of the USB device to do the rest jobs of installation, until the driver installation finished. After the installation, you can see the newly created devices on the PC. If the USB device is a MFP, you can see a new printer and a new scanner from the “Control Panel”. 7.3.2 NetUSB Printing After the driver is installed as described in the previous section, you can see a newly created printer in the Control Panel’s “Printers and Faxes”. Follow the steps below to do a NetUSB printing. A. In the Control Center, click the MFP Server that has the desired printer (or MFP) attached. B. Click the desired printer (or MFP). C. Click the “Auto Connect Printer” button and choose “Set Auto-Connect Printer”. The following figure will appear.
59 D. Choose the desired printer. The desired printer must be the Windows printer (this is a logical printer) that matches the printer attached on the MFP Server (this is a physical printer). Then click the “Apply” button. E. Then, the printer will be marked as an “Auto-Connected Printer” in red. If you choose “Auto-Connected Printer List” in the “Tools” menu, you can see a newly created item that describes the association between the Windows printer and the physical printer on the server.
60F. Then try to issue a print job to the desired printer. You will see the Control Center will automatically do a connect operation. Then, the print job will be issued to that printer. This is so-called “Auto Connect Print” operation. G. Of course you can issue print jobs using manual “connect” and “disconnect” rather than “Auto Connect Print”. To do this, click on the printer, then click the “Connect” button. The name of the computer that has the ownership of the printer will be shown after the printer in the Control Center. Now you can issue print jobs to this printer. After all print jobs are finished, click the “Disconnect” button. H. Even you already properly setup an auto-connected printer, the Control Center must be running while a print job is issued. This means you’d better run the Control Center every time after you login Windows. In order to skip this manual operation, you can make the Control Center be run automatically after you login Windows. To do this, choose the “Configuration” item in the “Tools” menu. The following window will appear. Click on the check box and then on the “OK” button. This feature is enabled by default. I. If you would like to break the association between the Windows printer and the physical printer, just click on the association and click the “Delete” button in the “Auto-Connected Printer List”. 7.3.3 NetUSB Scanning After the driver is installed as described in 7.3.1, you can see a newly created scanner in the Control Panel’s “Scanners and Cameras”. Follow the steps below to do a NetUSB scanning. A. In the Control Center, click the MFP Server that has the desired scanner (or MFP) attached. B. Click the desired scanner (or MFP). C. Click the “Connect” button to manually connect the scanner (or MFP). D. Right-click the scanner icon in the Control Panel’s “Scanners and Cameras”, and choose “Get picture using Scanner Wizard”, as the following figure.
61 E. Then the “Scanner Wizard” will run. Set the options as your need. Then submit the scan job. F. After the scanning finished, click the “Disconnect” button in the Control Center to release the ownership of the scanner (or MFP). The steps described above require manual “connect” and “disconnect” operations
62before and after the scanning, respectively. We will introduce “auto-connect scanning” in the following section. 7.3.4 NetUSB Scanning using Network Scan For NetUSB scanning, we recommend you use Network Scan as the following steps. A. In the Control Center, click the MFP Server that has the desired MFP attached. B. Click the desired MFP. C. Click the “Network Scanner” button. Then you can see that the Control Center will automatically do a “connect” operation. The following window will appear. D. Choose one of TWAIN or WIA item. Click “OK”. The following window will appear.
63 E. Follow the usual steps to do scanning. F. After the scanning, close the “Auto-Connect Scanner” window. 7.3.5 Accessing USB Storage using NetUSB Technology Before you use NetUSB technology to access USB storage, please make sure the storage access mode is in NetUSB mode. A. In the Control Center, click the MFP Server that has the desired USB storage device attached. B. Click the desired USB storage device.
64 C. Click the “Connect” button to manually connect the USB storage device. D. Now your PC will have a new disk. For example, if you connect a flash drive, your PC will have a new “removable disk”. You can see the storage icon in the system tray, as the following figure. E. Just use the new disk as a general disk. F. After you finish the disk operations, click the storage icon in the system tray and choose “Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device”. G. In the Control Center, click the “Disconnect” button to disconnect the USB storage device. Please note that by this way, FAT32 and NTFS file system can be fully supported. 7.4 Limitations There are some limitations to use the NetUSB technology. A. Only supports Windows 2000/XP/2003. Windows 98/ME is not supported. B. Only one PC can get the ownership of the same USB device at the same time. Moreover, once a USB device is “connected” by a PC so that the PC “owns” that USB device, other PCs can not “access” this USB device by any means. For example, if a printer is connected by a PC using the NetUSB technology, no other PCs can print to this printer by LPR or SMB or IPP protocols, until the printer is disconnected. C. For USB storage, although NTFS can be supported by the NetUSB technology, it can not be shared among network users.

Regulatory Approvals FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices). FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Channel The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. •Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference. • In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) • If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.Note:This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on 2.4G channel 1-11.
