1. Necessary Items

The following items are required in order to connect SX-3000GB to a network.

Ethernet HUB
Use to connect SX-3000GB and other network devices such as a computer.
When there are available LAN ports on the network in which SX-3000GB is to be installed, you do not have to purchase a new Ethernet Hub or broadband router as SX-3000GB can be connected to the available LAN port.
Network Cable
Use to connect SX-3000GB and network devices such as an Ethernet Hub, broadband router and computer.
USB Cable
Use to connect SX-3000GB and USB devices.
A USB Cable is not required if the device is the one that connects itself directly to a USB port (e.g. USB memory) or there is a bundled USB cable.

  • In a 100BASE-TX environment, please use Ethernet Hub and network cable that support 100BASE-TX network  (category 5 or above).
  • In a 1000BASE-T environment, please use Ethernet Hub and network cable that support 1000BASE-T network (category 5e or above).
  • Use a crossover cable when you connect SX-3000GB to a computer directly.


2. Power On

  • Please be sure to read the operation manual of your USB device before you connect it to SX-3000GB. The connecting method and position may vary depending on the USB device to be connected.
  • Please use the AC adapter bundled with SX-3000GB. Other AC adapters may cause unexpected damages.
  • If SX-3000GB has been used in another network, reset it to the factory default settings before you start the configuration. ( Please refer to Reset to Factory Default for details. )
