2. Select either DHCP or enter a Static IP depending your network’s setup.

Note: If you select to use a Dynamic IP address then the iNAS will be assigned an IP address from your DHCP enabled router. However, if you plan to remotely access the iNAS, then you will need to use a static IP for the iNAS.

If you choose to assign a static IP address to the iNAS, you must make sure there are no IP conflictions on your network. In other words, don’t assign an IP address that is already being used by another device on your network.

We suggest using an IP address such as 192.168.1.XXX, where XXX can be changed from 1-255 to resolve IP conflictions. The Subnet Mask and Default gateway must also match the settings of the networks router.

3.Enable the “Allow Entering Administration Web Pages from External Network” if you plan to access the iNAS remotely. Port 80 is selected by default, and is already open to most web browsers to use the HTTP protocol. Kanguru strongly suggests that you check with your ISP to confirm that the selected port is open.

Note: If you select a port other than 80, you will need to enter this number at the end of the iNAS IP address. For example, if you choose to use Port 88 to remotely access the iNAS, then you should enter http://192.168.1.254:88.
