Chapter 3 Using the USB Device Server 3.1 Introduction The goal of this produce is to provide the USB device server in a single product. We developed a new technology called “NetUSB” to achieve this goal. Basically, the “NetUSB” is a “USB over IP” technology that transparently redirects all USB packets to TCP/IP network channel. “NetUSB” allows you to use USB devices as if they were connected directly to your PC although they are actually remotely connected to the USB device server. 3.
3.4 Installation of USB Device Driver Some USB devices, like printers or MFPs (multifunction printers), require to install vendor-supplied driver (usually on CDROM). For those USB devices that do not need to install driver, please skip this section. A. B. C. D. E. F. Insert the CDROM into the CD drive and run the “autorun” program. Follow the instructions of the installation program to install driver. When the installation program asks you to plug-in the USB device, run the “Control Center”.
G. H. Now, the installation program will detect the USB device and continue to install driver. After the installation is completed, click the USB device in the Control Center and then click the “Disconnect” button to disconnect the USB device. Now the driver of your USB device is installed. 3.5 Using the USB Device Server A. B. In the Control Center, click the USB device server that has the desired USB device attached. Click the desired USB device. C. Click the “Connect” button.
D. E. F. Now, PC will detect the plug-in of the USB device. 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. Then, just use the USB device as if it is connected directly to your PC’s USB port.
3.6 Auto-Connect Printer The method described in section 4.5 is so-called manual-connect, which means users must manually connect the USB device before using that device, and must manually disconnect the USB device after using the device, otherwise nobody else can connect this device. However, for printers and scanners (and MFPs), the USB device server supports auto-connect so users don’t need to manually connect/disconnect. This and the next sections show you how to do this.
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 USB device 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.
F. 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. G. Even you already properly setup an auto-connected printer, the Control Center must be running (in the background) while a print job is issued. This means you’d better run the Control Center every time after you login Windows.
3.7 Network Scanner For NetUSB scanning, we recommend you use Network Scanner as the following steps. A. B. In the Control Center, click the USB device server that has the desired MFP (or scanner) attached. Click the desired MFP (or scanner). 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. E. F. 3.8 Follow the usual steps to do scanning. After the scanning, close the “Auto-Connect Scanner” window. At this moment, Control Center will automatically do a disconnect. USB Storage You must use “manually connect” for USB storage. After you connect a USB storage, like the following picture, your PC will have a new disk. If the USB storage is a flash drive, the new disk is a “removable disk”.
You can see the storage icon in the system tray. Then just use the new disk as a general disk. After you finish the disk operations, click the storage icon in the system tray and choose “Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device” to remove the USB storage, as the following figure. Then, in the Control Center, click the USB storage device and click the “Disconnect” button to disconnect the USB storage device. 3.
At this moment, the user on the TEST computer will see the following window, indicating that another computer – TESTES is requesting to use the HP printer. The user will choose to accept or reject. If accepted, the Control Center on TEST will automatically disconnect the device and the Control Center on TESTES will automatically connect that device. 3.10 Quitting the Control Center The Control Center doesn’t really quit if you click the “X” box (close box) at the top right corner of the window.
Chapter 4 File Server This chapter describes the file server function of the Server which allows USB storage devices to be shared across a network by using SMB: NetBIOS over TCP/IP and FTP protocol. 4.1 Preliminary 1. This product supports a file format of FAT12/16/32 and NTFS. However, the “write” operation on NTFS is only supported in NetUSB mode. Please refer to the NetUSB Mode. 2.
The Server supports Windows codepages. If users want to communicate files using FTP client tool or SMB on Windows 98/Me/2000 with the Server, they have to set their Server codepage to be same as the codepage that their Windows PC is using. 1. 2. FTP SMB on Windows 98/Me/2000 - Configuring the Server’s Codepages Users can use the following methods to set the Server’s codepage. 1. Start Control Center and Auto-searching Server window will appear. 2.
4.4 Using Shared Storages by SMB/CIFS Method for Windows 1. Connect a USB storage device to this product. 2. Select My Network Places. 3. Click Display the Computers of Workgroup. 4. Double click Microsoft Windows Network icon. 5. Double click the Workgroup that the Server belongs to. The default Workgroup name is “WORKGROUP”. You can refer to Control Center or the Server’s web pages to get it. You will see that the Server is displayed as its server name. 6.
4.5 Using Shared Storage by FTP Methods for Windows A. Use Microsoft IE to the shared USB Mass Storages 1. Open Microsoft IE 2. In Web Address List, enter command: “ftp://Server’s Server Name“ or “ftp://Server’s IP address”. If you have changed the default FTP port : 21 to the new value, you have to add the new port number in the tail of command as “ftp://Server’s Server Name: ftp port” or “ftp://Server’s IP address: ftp port”. 3.
