The MaxNAS comes pre-configured with the LAN1 Ethernet port set to DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and the LAN2 Ethernet port set to a static IP address, 192.168.2.100. The current IP addresses are displayed on the LCD panel. The default WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) for the MaxNAS is “MaxNAS”. Included with your MaxNAS is a discovery wizard for Mac and PC, which allows click-and-select

simplicity; simply install the wizard software, launch it, and the wizard discovers your MaxNAS for administration.
