for a while, and may possibly glow steadily for a while as well. Eventually it will begin the boot process, beginning with blinking between bright and dim. Once the boot process is complete and the LED is glowing steadily again, all settings will have been cleared and the unit is ready to communicate with all settings reset to the factory default – including the network and device name settings. If the process appears to become stuck or takes too long to complete, you can try disconnecting power, then reconnect and after the Status LED blinks bright and dark a few times, try the Reset button again.

Initial Setup

Windows: All of the NAS unit's functions and features are configured using a Web Interface. Once the hardware is installed, access the Web Interface with a web browser on a computer attached to the same network by typing in “http://addnas” - this will work on most Windows systems. Be sure the computer accessing the NAS has the Workgroup name set to WORKGROUP.

MAC: Mac users may need to determine the NAS unit's IP address by opening a Terminal window and typing the following command:

smbutil lookup addnas

This utility should return the NAS unit's IP address. Typing this address into the web browser should open the NAS unit's Web Interface.

Linux: Linux users may need to determine the NAS unit's IP address if Windows name resolution support is not fully installed and configured, by examining the DHCP server's clients table and attempting to connect to each unidentified IP address using a browser until the NAS unit's Web Interface appears.

Once you have connected to the Web Interface, the Initial Setup page will appear:

Click Next, then a dialog will appear requesting the Administrator login. The default username is "admin" and the password is "123456" (without the double-quote marks). Next, set a custom password for the admin account. The admin account name may also be changed.
