If you want to expand the disk capacity with an external USB disk
• Connect a external USB disk to a USB port.
• If it is connected to a front side port, it is mounted on System folder/USBDISK1; or if it is connected to a backside port, itis
mounted on System folder/USBDISK2.
• Any partitions in the disk will show up as part01,…,part0N, in order.
If you want to keep the data safe
• The device supports the RAID 1 mirroring mode.
• Choose the mirroring mode at the time of installation if you keep the data in the disk safe.
• The mirroring mode is only meaningful when you have two separate disks.
• Even when you installed in a single disk but want to add another disk later on, you can expand the disk with the disk
manager to build a mirroring.
• In the mirroring, a single set of data is written on two disks for added safety.
• When one disk is in error, you can fetch the date from the other disk.
• However, unlike the linear (expansion) mode, the mirroring mode slows down the speed of writing on the disk and lets you
use only half the total physical disk space.
If you want to find an IP address auto
• With UPnP
- A Windows XP or higher comes with a function to find a UPnP device in the network environment. If the UPnP is not active,
activate it.
- The name of this device is searched automatically.
- Click this device and the web browser will start, getting the web page of this device. You can get the IP address from the
address of the web page.
• With the installation program
- Another way to find the IP address automatically is to run the installation program.
- The installation wizard will lead you to a part where the device is searched automatically. The IP address of the device thus
found.
- The installation program can only search for a device on the same network that the computer running the program is in. In
case the search fails, see if the network setting is identical to that of the device.
If you want to make a connection with a fixed name not IP Address
• Select [Administrator]-[Network Management]-[setting up DDNS] Menu.
• Set any name you desire. When the setting is complete, you can access with the name from the outside.
• However, if the device is hooked to a internet share point, make sure that you set DMZ or port forwarding on the share point.
• When the IP address of the share point changes, you need to update the address with the DDNS manage of the system
administrator.
If you are using a Mac
• With an Quick Launcher for a Mac
- Download WebDisk Connector from Quick Launcher Download after logging on to your account on the web.
- With a Mac access aid, you can mount the space assigned to your account to the finder with Samba or WebDAV protocol.
• With the web explorer
- The web disk explorer is exclusively for the Windows, but the web explorer can used on any operating system.
- The web explorer lets you use all the functions of the web disk explorer with HTTP alone.
- It is recommended that you use Firefox for a web browser.
• With AppleTalk
- Try connecting the server with 'aftp://the device address/your account.'
- When the authentication screen pops up, type in your account ID and password.
- Your own domain is mounted to the finder.
