Hardware Installation  
Make sure that your USB devices are switched off and that the servers power adapter is disconnected.  
Connect the print and/or storage devices to the servers USB ports.  
Connect the server to the network with the included Ethernet cable.  
Turn on the USB devices and make sure they are ready for use.  
Connect the power adapter to the server. The power indicator will light up and USBꢀ and USB2 indicators  
will flash in turn. When the Link indicator lights up, the Server is correctly connected to the network. When  
USB1 and USB2 indicators do not flash, the Server is working normally.

Software Installation  
Insert the Software CD into your computer. A  
splash screen should appear with a menu of  
options. Click on the words Install Application to  
set up the servers Control Center software.  
ꢀ0  
 
Click Next to continue the installation wizard.  
ꢀꢀ  
 
Type your name and organization to personalize  
the installation of the Control Center software,  
then click Next to continue.  
ꢀ2  
 
Click Change… if you would like to install the  
software to somewhere besides the default  
location, then click Next to continue.  
ꢀꢁ  
 
Click Install and wait a moment for the Control  
Center software to finish loading.  
ꢀꢂ  
 
Click Finish to exit the install wizard and  
launch the Control Center software for the  
first time.  
ꢀꢃ  
 
If you have a software firewall you may be  
alerted that the Control Center is being blocked.  
Make sure that you unblock the Control Center  
or you may experience difficulty using your  
server. If you need to manually configure your  
firewall, make sure the following ports are open  
for both TCP and UDP: 7303, 7305, 20005,  
ꢁ020ꢀ, ꢁ0202, and ꢁ020ꢁ.  
ꢀ6  
 
After a moment your print server should appear  
in the server list. Click the server name once  
and any attached devices should be listed be-  
low it. This means your Control Center software  
is installed properly. You may close the window  
using the X in the top right corner and the  
Control Center will continue to run in the back-  
ground. If you wish to open the Control Center  
again simply double-click the grey IOGEAR icon  
in the system tray area by your clock.  
ꢀ7  
 
Configuring the Server IP  
You may wish to manually assign an IP address  
to the server in some cases. For example, if  
you do not have a DHCP server on the network.  
Most users who have a router that acts as a  
DHCP server can skip this section, however.  
To configure the server IP, double click on the  
server in the Control Centers server list.  
ꢀ8  
 
At the prompt, enter the administrator username  
(default: admin) and password (default: admin).  
ꢀ9  
 
After you have logged in successfully, select  
the TCP/IP tab. Here you may select Static IP  
and manually configure all network settings for  
the server.

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 con-  
nected 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 printers 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.  
2ꢀ  
 
Your printer should be detected and installed au-  
tomatically at this point. You can repeat this setup  
procedure on all your computers as needed. 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 Auto-  
Connect Printer. You will see a list of all printer  
icons available on your computer. 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 automati-  
cally restore the link to your printer.  
22  
 
Storage Setup (Windows File Sharing/SMB)  
with multiple disks or a USB hub) and the third  
Storage devices attached to your server are ac-  
cessible 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 Ex-  
plorer 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.  
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).  
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  
2ꢁ  
 
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.  
2ꢂ  
 
To turn on Virtual USB mode, open the Control  
Center software and double click on the  
server name in the list. Enter the administra-  
tor username (default: admin) and password  
(default: admin) at the prompt. Switch to the  
Supported Protocols tab. In the lower right,  
select Virtual USB mode for storage access.  
Click Apply and allow the server to restart so  
that the change takes effect.  
2ꢃ  
 
Once this is done, you may connect or discon-  
nect from storage devices in the same way you  
would a printer. Simply open the Control Center  
interface, select a storage device and click the  
Connect button in the toolbar. The storage  
device will be detected as if plugged directly  
into a USB port on your computer. No other  
computers will be able to access the device  
while it is connected in this way.  
26  
 
When you are done using the drive, click the  
Safely Remove Hardware icon in the tray area  
by your clock to prevent further communication  
with the drive and help protect against data loss.  
Once this step is completed you may use the  
Control Center software to disconnect the drive  
and allow others to connect to it.  
27  
 
Restore Factory Defaults  
If you are having difficulty finding or connecting to your print server using the Control Center software due  
to network issues or a forgotten password, you can clear all settings on the server using the Init button on  
the device. To properly reset all settings to factory defaults, unplug the power adapter from the device.  
Then hold the Init button and plug the power adapter back in. Instead of blinking alternately as during  
a normal startup, the USB1 and USB2 lights should begin blinking at the same time. Unplug the power  
adapter once again, and then plug in the adapter without holding the Init button. The server should go  
through the normal startup process and all network and password settings will be at defaults.
