6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
6.1. Print Server Functionality
To use the device as a print server, connect your USB printer to the server's USB port. Install the printer's drivers on each computer that needs to access the printer. Use the Digitus utility software to add and manage the network printer. This allows multiple computers on the network to send print jobs to the shared printer.
6.2. Network Attached Storage (NAS) Functionality
Connect a USB storage device (e.g., external hard drive, USB flash drive) to the server's USB port. The server can then make this storage accessible over the network using protocols such as FTP, SMB (Server Message Block), and CIFS (Common Internet File System). You can map network drives on your computers to access files on the connected storage.
Nota Importanti: This device primarily supports SMB1 protocol for NAS functionality. Modern operating systems like Windows 10 and newer may have SMB1 disabled by default due to security concerns. You may need to enable SMB1 on your client computers or use alternative protocols like FTP for access. The LAN port supports up to 100 Mbps, which may limit transfer speeds for large files.
6.3. Network USB Hub Functionality
Beyond printers and storage, the server can share other USB devices over the network. Connect a standard USB hub to the server's USB port, and then connect multiple USB devices (e.g., scanners, webcams, card readers) to the USB hub. The Digitus utility software allows you to connect to and use these devices from your networked computers as if they were directly connected.
