3.6.10.1. Conﬁguration Basics

Select a pulldown menu to change the Base Mode, Wireless Con-

ﬁguration, and IP Conﬁguration Mode.

✦ Base Mode has NAS+Switch and NAS+Router as choices

(Fig. 87). For more information on NAS+Router, see 4.1. Be-

fore the Installation. Switching the Base Mode will have an

effect on the other options due to the differences in function

between a router and a switch.

✦ Wireless Conﬁguration Mode is only available when the Base

Mode is NAS+Switch (Fig. 88). The three choices are:

1. No Wireless (Ethernet NAS). Ethernet ports expand the

amount of Ethernet connections to the router or Internet

provider.

2. Wireless Client (Wireless NAS). Wireless network storage

is now available to everyone on the network. In addition,

the Wireless Space becomes a switch for computers and

devices that are not close to the main router or Internet

provider. This conﬁguration does not offer a Wi-Fi access

point for computers or wireless devices to join. The Wi-Fi

connection is made between the Wi-Fi access point (i.e.

Internet provider) and the Wireless Space.

3. Wireless AP (NAS Extender). While this is part of the

NAS+Switch Base Mode, the conﬁguration is considered

Beyond Basic due to Wi-Fi network management. See 4.1.

Before the Installation & 4.2. Conﬁguration 3: Wireless Ac-

cess Point (Switch) for more information.
