[. . . ] To fully benefit from this document, you should be familiar with basic networking principles. The instructions described in this manual are based on the settings in a new server.

[. . . ] Here you may select Static IP and manually configure all network settings for the server. 20 Printer/Fax/Scanner Setup (Virtual USB) Your print server supports a technology called Virtual USB in addition to more traditional print server ports. A Virtual USB connection allows your printer software to think the printer is connected directly to your computer, for maximum compatibility. All fax and scan features of a multifunction printer will work as expected. Using this method is very similar to setting up the printer without a print server. Simply follow your printer's setup instructions but instead of connecting the printer to the computer when asked, select the printer in the Control Center software and press the Connect button on the toolbar. 2 Your printer should be detected and installed automatically at this point. One weakness of the Virtual USB technology is that only one computer can be connected to the printer at a time. For this reason it is recommended that you set your printer to auto-connect if you will be using it regularly. In the Control Center software select the printer again and click on the Auto-Connect Printer button on the toolbar, then on Set AutoConnect Printer. Check the box in front of the appropriate model and click the Apply button. Now whenever you print a document the Control Center software will attempt to automatically restore the link to your printer. 22 Storage Setup (Windows File Sharing/SMB) Storage devices attached to your server are accessible through Windows File Sharing and FTP protocols. For local network access, Windows File Sharing is the preferred method. To browse the shared files, start by opening Internet Explorer or any Windows Explorer window with an Address bar. Type "\\GMFPSU22W6" into the address bar (without the quotes) and hit enter to see what is being shared by the server. All storage will be labeled according to the convention USBx_DxPx, where the first x represents the number of the USB port of the server, the second x represents the number of the Disk (usually 1 unless you attach a device with multiple disks or a USB hub) and the third x represents the number of the partition. You may read or write to any FAT or FAT32 disk in this way, and read but not write to NTFS disks this way. If you need read/write access to an NTFS disk you must use Virtual USB mode (see below). 2 Storage Setup (Virtual USB) To gain full control of NTFS disks you will need to use the Virtual USB mode for storage devices. In this mode only one computer has access to a disk at a time, but any disk operation is possible including formatting or partitioning. Once you turn on Virtual USB mode for storage devices, all storage devices can only be accessed in this way. Plan carefully which mode is the best match for your needs. 2 To turn on Virtual USB mode, open the Control Center software and double click on the server name in the list. Enter the administrator username (default: admin) and password (default: admin) at the prompt.
