MAXTOR FUSION USER’S GUIDE
Changing Network Settings
By default, Maxtor Fusion obtains and configures all LAN
settings at setup and installation time. As the administrator
you can review or reconfigure network settings. If you’re not
already logged in with the admin account, log out and log in
again using admin as the username and the password
assigned at installation time.
To change network settings:
1. Click the Set Preferences button to the right of the
content area (the button has the outline of a person).
2. Click on the SYSTEM SETTINGS tab. From this tab you
can:
– Adjust the local IP address. Note that several other
network settings are displayed for informational
purposes and cannot be modified.
– Configure the Dynamic DNS settings, including
DynDNS.org, No-IP.com, or using a static IP address.
Many Internet accounts use dynamic IP addresses.
Services such as DynDNS and No-IP help users find
your Maxtor Fusion over the web, even when the IP
address has been changed by your Internet service
provider. After registering with one of these (free)
services and selecting a domain name to use, enter
that information here.
– Configure your outgoing SMTP mail server address.
This is the name of the mail server that will send out
email for Maxtor Fusion.
– Configure Port Forwarding settings. Port forwarding
enables user requests to come in from the web
through your router to your Maxtor Fusion. When you
share your files, it enables people to use web
browsers to come in through your Internet connection
and see pictures, documents, and so on. As part of the
set up process, Maxtor Fusion provides information
that can be used at www.portforward.com to configure
your router so that port forwarding works correctly on
your LAN. More information on port forwarding can be
found in the section “What is Port Forwarding?” on
page 24.
– Configure your time zone.
– Reset your Maxtor Fusion to the factory defaults,
update its internal software, and shut down or reboot
it. The controls for doing these tasks are located in the
lower left corner of the System Preferences window.
The Setup Wizard
At any time, the admin can use the Setup Wizard to add
accounts, activate the email invitation engine, and configure
Internet settings.
1. Click on the Set Preferences icon, then the
SETUP WIZARD tab.
The Setup Wizard window replaces the
User Preferences window.
2. Follow the instructions to proceed with the Setup.
You can quit at any time.
NOTE: You may need to turn off the popup blocker
in your browser.
