unit is licensed for multiple local USB ports please connect as per the port layout table above.
Note: After you have connected the unit to a USB printer a test and configuration page will be
printed to USB1 only when the IP address of the unit is changed, or alternatively when you switch the
printer connectedoff and on again.
Configuration
The unit can be configured via a built in Web page which can be accessed from a browser on a suitable
network orcan be configured initially from a plugged in monitor screen and USB keyboard, and then
additionally fully configured from a browser.
Screen Setup Administration
Away to setup the Network configuration details is to plug a screen into the Monitor port on the rear of the
unit, and a USB keyboard into any of the USB slots. If you power on the unit the system will show boot
information and end up with a “device login”prompt.
Enter the user “admin”
Enter the password “password” or previously set password. (case sensitive)
The system will allow several options:
“q”to quit and return, your system will now have any new settings applied.
“manual”will allow you to enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway info.
Enter IP address: enter in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and return
Enter Subnetmask: enter in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and return
(The Gateway address will be set to the IP address at this stage, so the Gateway is local, you can then
change it via the browser later as required).
then enter “q”to quit
you can now access the unit via a browser with the new IP address.
“dhcp”will select a DHCP connection, and ignore previously set static IP information.
The unit will scan for a DHCP server, if one is found it will receive a network IP address and gateway, it will
confirm the network settings on screen.Print a status sheet to the USB1 printer port showing the new
information.
You can now access the unit via a browser with the new IP address, and continue with further setup.
If a DHCP Server is not found, the unit will revert to the previously set IP address and gateway or to the
Factory defaults if one had not previously been set.
The screen can be disconnected and is not required.
