Quick Install In order to start sharing storage as soon as possible, follow these steps: Step 1.

Attach one hard disk. The Status LED should begin to blink after a few moments, then settle back to a steady glow. Confirm at least one partition was detected using the View Drive Information feature in the Configuration Menu.
This process normally takes about a minute or less, but may take longer depending on the complexity of the configuration, storage and LAN connections. With the 240 possible file systems, booting may take several minutes or longer. Resetting the NAS Should a problem arise with the NAS unit or its configuration, the unit may be reset simply by turning the unit off, then back on after a few moments.
Once you have connected to the Web Interface, the Initial Setup page will appear: Click Next, then a dialog will appear requesting the Administrator login.

FTP Server The NAS FTP Server requires the "User Home Directory Drive" is defined under the Sharing Tab to function. Anonymous login is supported with no user home directory and access to any shares with read-only or read and write access to "Everyone" for FTP.

If a home directory is already defined it will be shown. Choose a volume and click Save. If any files exist in a previous Home directory they will be moved to the new location. Change Current Date and Time Settings for time zone, date and time. Set time zone to a listed city nearby in the same time zone.
Choosing Automatic will configure the NAS unit as a DHCP client and the configuration wizard will skip to the end. Choosing Manual configuration will proceed to Step 2. Step 2 configures the NAS unit's static IP address and subnet mask. To choose a working static IP address, make sure you meet these criteria: 1. The subnet mask must match the rest of the network exactly. 2. The IP address must match the router's IP address exactly where the subnet mask is "255." 3. The IP address cannot end in 0 or 255. 4.

Backup Internal System Configuration Information Saves or restores all of the NAS unit's settings using a specified drive. Select the volume desired for backups. If backups exist on that volume they will be listed under Backups, with comments if present. To create a backup, add a backup comment if desired then click Create Backup. To restore an existing backup, select the desired backup and click Restore Selected. The currently selected backup may also be deleted using the Delete Selected button.

To change a user's password, select the username just above “New Password,” then enter the new password into the “New Password” and “Confirm Password” fields and click “Change Password.” To create a new user account, click “New User,” then enter the new username and the initial password in the “New Password” and “Confirm Password” fields.
Step 2 is to select the drive the share is to be created on. The drive is identified by the drive letter and partition number, the vendor and model, and the mount point. Step 3 is to set the initial permissions for the new share. A permission setting for “Everyone” as well as each individual user is listed, with the default permission set to None for both SMB and FTP.
Rename A Shared Folder Changes the name of the directory as well as the share name for an existing shared folder. Select the share to change and type in a new name, then click “Rename Shared Folder.” NOTE: The new shared folder name will be written to disk using all capital letters. If an existing folder of the same name appears and is not all capital letters, the NAS unit considers that not a match and writes the same folder name in all capital letters anyway.
