User’s Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing 601/601n/604/604n USB Device Server (in the following referred to as “Server”).

This Server is designed to connect your Multifunction Printer, Scanner, Fax, Multifunction Printer, Hard Drive,

iPhone, iPod, USB Digital TV Tuner, Digital Camera, USB Webcam, USB Speaker, USB CD, USB DVD to your

network, allowing all network users’ access to these shared USB devices.

1.1 About 4 Models Described in this Manual

This manual provides introductory information as well as detailed instructions on how to set up and

manage 6 Series in various network environments. The following table shows the differences among the

4 models. All 4 models have a 10/100 Mbit/sec Lan port. However, 601 v2 and 601n v2 has only one USB

port, while both 604 v2 and 604n v2 have four USB ports. Compared with 4 models have an additional

wireless module (802.11b/g/n). Except for the wireless configuration, most configuration and operations

are the same for 601 v2/604 v2 and 601n v2/604n v2. Similarly, almost all of the configuration and

operations are the same for these models except that only one USB device can be connected to 601

v2/601n v2 while at most four USB devices can be connected to 604 v2/604n v2. Unless explicitly

specified, all instructions in the manual apply to 6 Series.

Chapter 3 Basic Installation

3.1. 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 601/601n, only USB1 indicator will flash.) When the Link indicator

lights up, the Server is correctly connected to the network. When USB1 and USB2 indicators stop

flashing, the Server starts to work normally.

3.2. Wireless connection

This section only applies to 601n/604n.

3.3.1. 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 infrastructure (station) mode, which need an access point to

route network messages with the same SSID.

 Wireless access can be secured by WEP (64/128), WPA-PSA (TKIP/AES), and WPA2-PSK (AES).

 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 150 MBits depending on access point’s

capability.

3.3.2. Set Wireless Configuration Using Control Center

1. Install USB Device Server Control Center. It is available in the 601n v2/604n v2 USB Device Server

Product CD.

2. Start USB Device Server Control Center and Auto-searching USB device server window will appear.

If the wireless parameters are not correct or not set yet, you have to use LAN to

access USB Device Server Control Center.

3. If the tool finds USB device servers in your local area network, then you have to select a server

from the server list.

4. Double click the highlighted server (or click the “Configure Server” button) to get the server’s web

pages. Click CONFIG icon.

5. Login with administrator ID (default: admin) and its password (default: admin).

6. Click Wireless icon.

7. There are two ways to connect to wireless network. One is “Scan AP”, the other is “Manual

connect”.

8. By “Scan AP”, click “Enter” and choose the SSID you want to connect. After select, you have to

enter the password.

9. By “Manual connect, to join an existing wireless network, you have to set the correct SSID, and

the correct security method with the correct key information.

10. If the wireless network is secured by WEP64 or WEP128, key index and WEP key must be set

correctly.

11. If the wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, the key formats, shared key and

encryption must be set correctly.

12. Click Submit to save your settings. And the server will reboot.

13. You have now finished the procedure of setting the wireless parameters

After properly configuring the wireless parameters, you can remove the network cable and reboot

the 601n/604n. 601n/604n will then connect to your wireless network. 601n/604n will detect if a

network cable is plugged-in or not. If a network cable is plugged-in, 601n/604n will always connect to the

network through the network cable. Otherwise it will always connect to the network through wireless

module.

Once 601n v2/604n v2 connects to the network, either by network cable or by wireless module, all

operations to use USB device server are exactly the same.

3.3. Assigning an IP Address to the Server

3.3.1. Preliminary

 If you have a DHCP server on your network, your Server will receive an IP address

automatically. The IP address will then appear on the Control Center or on the page of

configuration report that you printed earlier. If your DHCP server does not give an IP address

to the Server, the Server will use the automatic private IP addressing IP: 169.254.0.0. ~

169.254.255.255

 If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to manually set the Server’s IP address.

3.3.2. IP Address

 Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused IP address

from your network administrator.

3.3.3. Methods for Setting the IP Address

You can set the IP address of your Server using one of the following methods, depending on your network

operating environment:

 Automatic IP Address Assignment

 Manual IP Address Assignment

3.3.4. Server Names and Server Name Rules

The default server name of the Server is “KC601” (for 601) or “KC604” (for 604) or “KC601n” (for 601n) or

“KC604n” (for 604n). If you put two or more 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 or the Server’s web pages.

If your server name is longer than 15 characters, the Server uses only the first 15 characters.

3.3.5. Setting the IP Address Using DHCP

Follow the instructions below to get an IP address using DHCP:

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries included in this scope

should contain the following parameters:

 range of IP addresses

 subnet mask

 default router IP address

 DNS server IP address

 lease duration

2. Activate the scope. The Server automatically gets the DHCP parameters. If you are using DNS, you

may include at least one DNS server IP address in the DHCP scope or manually set the DNS server IP

address using Server’s web pages or the Control Center.

3.3.6. Setting the IP Address Using the Control Center

1. Install the Control Center. The Control Center is available on the Product CD.

2. 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 server (or click the “Configure Server” button) to get the server’s web

pages. Click CONFIG icon.

5. Login with administrator ID (default: admin) and its password (default: admin).

6. Click the button corresponding to your choice of IP setting methods (static or dynamic using DHCP).

When assigning a static IP address you also have to define Subnet Mask.

7. Click Submit to save your settings. And the Server will reboot. You have now finished the procedure

of setting the IP address.

Chapter 4 Using the USB Device Server

4.1. Introduction

The goal of this produce is to provide the USB device server in a single product. We developed a new

technology called “NetUSB” to achieve this goal. Basically, the “NetUSB” is a “USB over IP” technology

that transparently redirects all USB packets to TCP/IP network channel. “NetUSB” allows you to use USB

devices as if they were connected directly to your PC although they are actually remotely connected to

the 601/601n/604/604n USB device server.

4.2. Connect & Disconnect

“NetUSB” allows you to use USB devices as if they were connected directly to your PC although they are

actually remotely connected to the 601/601n/604/604n USB device server. The “connect” operation is a
