Connecting the Hardware

1. Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the Server's Power
Adapter is disconnected.
2. Connect the USB devices to the USB ports with the USB cables.
3. Connect the Server to the network with a twisted-pair category 5 cable,
10baseT or 100baseTX.
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. (For DN-13008, only USB1
indicator will flash.) When the Link indicator lights up, the Server is correctly
connected to the network. When USB1 and USB2 indicators do not flash, the
Server starts to work normally.

Wireless connection

This section only applies to DN-13018.
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
(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, DN-13018 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 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.
