7. NetUSB Mode

7.1 Introduction

The Sitecom WL-203 has a totally different technology “NetUSB”, to deal with printers and scanners

(MFPs).

• For printers, some special kinds of printers, such as GDI printers or host-based printers, can

not work well with traditional print server technology. Users should use the NetUSB mode to

deal with these kinds of printers.

• For MFPs or scanners, the NetUSB mode is able to support almost all models from all

MFP/scanner vendors.

• For USB mass storage, such as USB hard drives and flash drives and card readers on some

kinds of MFPs, users can also use the NetUSB mode to access them in single-user mode. By

this way, NTFS file system is supported for read/write.

Note：

The default storage access mode is server mode.

7.2 Connect & Disconnect

“NetUSB” allows you to use USB printers or USB storage devices directly, even when they’re actually

connected to the Sitecom WL-203 USB MFP server.

The “connect” operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device plug-in.

Therefore, when you do a “connect” operation in the Control Center, PC can detect a USB device’s

plug-in, although actually you do not plug in any USB device to your PC. Similarly, the “disconnect”

operation is a software operation that simulates the disconnection of the USB device.

Note：

If a USB device is “connected” by a PC, we say that PC has the ownership of the USB device. Only

one PC can get the ownership of a USB device at the same time.

7.3 How to Use

7.3.1 Remote Installation

Before using the NetUSB technology, you must first make sure that your PC can access the Sitecom

USB MFP server via TCP/IP. The simplest way to do this is using “Control Center” to search for the

Sitecom USB MFP server on the network and change its IP address to be the same subnet as your

PC. If the MFP server and your PC are not in the same TCP/IP subnet, Control Center will show the

MFP server in green, as the following figure.
