To set up your computer to communicate with the NSS:

1.Set your computer’s network settings to the following:

IP Address: 169.254.x.y (where x and y can be any number between 1 and 254). For example, 169.254.1.2.

Subnet Mast (Netmask): 255.255.0.0.

After you configure your computer, you can log into the NSS configuration interface. You can configure the NSS network IP settings as required.

Step 2: Log into the Configuration Interface

This step depends on whether your NSS is set up within the Linksys One environment or if it is in a standalone environment. The only differences to note in terms of the configuration steps is that the log in steps are different and that if you are logging into the Linksys One environment, the configuration pages appear within the Linksys One window (window-in-window). There is no difference in the actual details within the configuration pages.

Option A: Linksys One Environment Login Steps

To log into the configuration interface when the NSS is installed in a Linksys One Environment:

1.Login to the SVR.

2.Click the L1 Devices tab.

The NSS appears in the list of devices. Note that you can change your administrator password and the NSS hostname from this window.

3.Click Show Details.
