[. . . ] If your DHCP server does not give an IP address to the ENNUS1 Server, the ENNUS1 Server will use the Factory IP address: 192. 168. 1. 100. If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the ENNUS1 Server's IP address. 3. 2. 2 IP Address Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator. 3. 2. 3 Methods for Setting the IP Address You can set the IP address of your ENNUS1 Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network operating environment: Automatic IP Address Assignment Manual IP Address Assignment 4 3. 2. 4 Server Names and Server Name Rules The default server name of the Server is "ENNUS1". If you have multiple 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. If your server name is longer than 15 characters, the Server uses only the first 15 characters. Start the Control Center and Auto-searching Server window will appear. 3. If the tool finds multiple Servers in your local area network, then you have to select one Server from the Server List. 4. Double click the highlighted ENNUS1 server to enter the main web page. 5 5. Click the "CONFIG" button and enter the ENNUS1 Server's administrator (default: admin) and password (default: admin). 6. After you login successfully, the "general setting" web page appears. 6 7. Click the button corresponding to your choice of IP setting method (static or dynamic using DHCP). When assigning a static IP address you also have to define Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. If you choose Automatically get IP by DHCP, you can use desired DNS by clicking the Manual DNS button and manually assigning a DNS. 9. 7 Chapter4 4. 1 Using the ENNUS1 Server Introduction The goal of this product is to provide connectivity to USB devices from a single server. A new technology, "NetUSB", has been developed to achieve this goal. "NetUSB" is a "USB over IP" technology that transparently redirects all USB packets to a TCP/IP network channel. "NetUSB" allows you to use remote USB devices as if they are connected directly to your PC. 4. 2 Connect & Disconnect "NetUSB" allows you to use remote USB devices as if they are connected directly to your PC. 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" operation 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. Therefore, if a USB device is connected by one PC, no other PC can connect this USB device until this USB device is disconnected. 4. 3 Subnet Issue Before using the NetUSB technology, you must first make sure that your PC can access ENNUS1 server via TCP/IP. The simplest way to do this is using "Control Center" to search for ENNUS1 server on the network and change its IP address to be the same subnet as your PC. If the ENNUS1 server and your PC are not in the same TCP/IP subnet, Control Center will show the ENNUS1 server in green, as in the following figure. 1. 8 You must change the IP address (or using DHCP) of the ENNUS1 server so that the ENNUS1 server and your PC are in the same subnet. After you finish using the USB device, click the USB device in the Control Center and then click the "Disconnect" button to disconnect the USB device. Other PCs cannot "Connect" the USB device until you "Disconnect" that USB device. [. . . ] Users may use the web pages to see the ENNUS1 Server's system status and configure the ENNUS1 Server. 6. 2 6. 2. 1 Using the ENNUS1 Server's Web Pages Displaying ENNUS1 Server Status Click on the "STATUS" icon to see system status and network status. 21 6. 2. 2 Setting up ENNUS1 Server Configuration To set up the ENNUS1 Server configuration, click on the "CONFIG" icon and then the system will request user to enter administrator (default: admin) and password (default: admin) to login. General Configuration Server Information: You have to set the Server Name, which is the name to represent the ENNUS1 Server. TCP/IP: You have to set the ENNUS1 Server's TCP/IP configuration to connect TCP/IP network. If you forget administrator name and password, you must perform Restore Factory Default action by plugging in the power adaptor while pressing the Init button. 22 Maintenance If you want to restore factory default values of the ENNUS1 Server or upgrade new firmware, you can use the Maintenance tool.
