5. Guia de configuració

5.1. Instal·lació de maquinari

1. Connect your USB printer(s) or other USB devices to the USB 2.0 ports on the Xiiaozet LK300EW.
2. Connect the provided power adapter to the Power Port on the device and plug it into a power outlet.
3. For initial setup or wired connection, connect the LAN port of the print server to your computer's Ethernet port using the provided network cable. Alternatively, connect it to your router/switch.

5.2. Configuració de xarxa (Wi-Fi)

To connect your print server to your Wi-Fi network:

1. Ensure your computer's wired network adapter is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).
2. Obre a web navegador i introduïu l'adreça IP predeterminada 192.168.6.1 to access the print server's web interfície de gestió.
3. Inicieu sessió amb el nom d'usuari i la contrasenya predeterminats: admin.
4. Navega a Xarxa bàsica > Xarxa sense fils. Feu clic Escaneja to find available Wi-Fi networks.
5. Select your home/office Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and click JOIN NETWORK.
6. Enter your Wi-Fi password in the WPA passphrase field. Do NOT change the name of the new network "wwan". Feu clic ENVIAR.
7. Verify that the mode is set to "Client" and the password is correct. Click DESA I APLICA.
8. After configuration, check the Estat del sistema > Acabatview > Sense fil section. The print server should obtain an auto IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.248) from your local network. If the IP is not ending in .248, you may need to set a static IP for your print server.

5.3. Adding a Networked Printer (Windows)

Before adding the printer, ensure the printer driver software is installed on your computer. You can install it by directly connecting the printer to your computer or downloading it from the printer's weblloc.

Method 1: Add Printer by TCP/IP Port (Recommended)

1. Vés a Comença > Configuració > Dispositius > Add a printer or scanner.
2. Click "The printer that I want isn't listed".
3. Select "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname" and click A continuació.
4. Fill in the collected IP address of the print server (e.g., 192.168.1.248).
5. Feu clic Custom's Setting, then fill in your collected port (e.g., 9100 or 9101).
6. Select your printer model from the list and click A continuació.
7. Choose "Use the driver that is currently installed (recommended)" and click A continuació.
8. Set a name for this networked printer (e.g., "Canon MG2500 series Printer (Networked)").
9. Select "Do not share this printer" and click A continuació.
10. Feu clic Acabar. It is recommended to set this printer as the default.

Method 2: Add Printer by Printer URL (alternativa)

This method is generally not recommended and should only be used if the TCP/IP Port method does not work for your specific printer.

1. Vés a Comença > Configuració > Dispositius > Add a printer or scanner.
2. Click "The printer that I want isn't listed".
3. Select "Select a shared printer by name".
4. Fill in your collected printer URL (p. ex., http://192.168.1.248:631/printers/Canon_MG2500_series) i feu clic A continuació.
5. Select your printer model and click OK.
6. This networked printer will have a default name including the HTTP URL. Feu clic A continuació.
7. Print a test page and click Acabar.

6. Operating the USB Server

Once the print server is configured and printers are added, other computers on the network can access them. For sharing other USB devices like scanners or dongles, you will typically use the dedicated virtual USB client software provided by Xiiaozet. This software creates a virtual connection, making the remote USB device appear as if it's directly connected to your computer.

8.2. Consells generals per a la resolució de problemes

• Sense energia: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working power outlet. Check the Power LED indicator.
• Sense connexió de xarxa: Verify that the Ethernet cable is properly connected (if using wired setup) or that the Wi-Fi configuration is correct. Check the LAN and Cloud LED indicators.
• Device Not Found: Ensure your computer and the print server are on the same local network (subnet). Temporarily disable any firewalls on your computer that might be blocking communication.
• Dispositiu USB no reconegut: Ensure the USB device is properly connected to the print server. Try connecting the USB device directly to your computer to confirm it functions correctly.
