This process normally takes about a minute or less, but may take longer depending on the complexity of the configuration, storage and LAN connections. With the 240 possible file systems, booting may take several minutes or longer.
Resetting the NAS
Should a problem arise with the NAS unit or its configuration, the unit may be reset simply by turning the unit off, then back on after a few moments. If this doesn't clear the problem, the unit may be returned to its factory configuration by gently pressing and holding the reset button between the power and LAN connectors until the Status LED blinks slowly, then rapidly. After releasing the Reset button while blinking slowly there will be no changes. After releasing the button once the Status LED blinks rapidly, the Status LED will continue to blink 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.
