Here are other initial properties of these pre-defined groups, accounts, and shares:

The group @guest-share contains two members, which are user “admin” and user “guest-share”.

Only user “admin” can access the share “public”.

The folder “guest-share” is a private folder for user “guest-share”. This means only user “guest-share” can access this folder.

The folder “admin” is a private folder for user “admin”. This means only user “admin” can access this folder.

By using the web-based administration tool, you can modify these initial properties.

Before can you can begin storing data (other than as user “admin” or as user “guest-share”), you must use the web-based administration tool to setup a new user account that defines your User Name and Password. Furthermore, you have the option to define other properties for your user account. For example, each user can optionally be given their own private folder, which is automatically assigned the same name as that user’s User Name. A user can also be given read-only-privileges, or read/write-privileges, to other folders on the drive.

Connecting the NAS Drive to Your LAN

Now that you have some understanding of user accounts, you are ready to connect your NAS drive to the LAN. Refer to the illustration below and follow these steps.

1. Ensure that your LAN equipment is powered on and that the LAN is operating properly.

2.We recommended that you follow the directions of your LAN equipment to enable a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. This may be referenced in your equipment’s documentation as “Assign IP addresses automatically”.

3.Since you will administer the NAS drive settings using a web browser on your PC or Mac, ensure that this PC or Mac is powered on and connected to the LAN.
