USB File and Printer Sharing
The USB file and printer sharing feature of the modem uses an IP address allocated from within the DHCP
pool. Altering the DHCP pool necessitates dropping the feature (using the Telnet dhcp server lease flush
command) to enable the ability to edit the pool. To re-enable file and printer sharing via the USB port on the
TG582n after making a pool change you will need to perform a series of Telnet commands. If you have no
intention of attaching portable storage devices or printers via the modem USB port you may safely ignore
the following steps.
To re-enable file and printer sharing:
1. Open a Command Prompt on your computer. To do this:
a. Click on the Windows Start button
b. Click on Run
c. In the ‘Open:’ text entry field insert CMD and click the [OK] button
d. A black DOS window will open. At the Command prompt type Telnet 192.1681.254 and
press [ENTER]
2. Input Administrator at the 'Username' prompt and press [ENTER]
3. Press [ENTER] at the 'Password' prompt
4. Input dhcp server lease add clientid=$_LMACADDR pool=LAN_private addr={Some address in your
new pool} leasetime=0 and press [ENTER]
5. Input saveall and press [ENTER]
6. Input system reboot and press [ENTER]
After the modem has restarted the file and printer sharing feature will be available.
