DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 27
IP Settings
Each computer on the network must have a unique IP
address to send and receive data. You can use the IP
Address Configuration screen to have your
DataSafe NAS automatically obtain the IP address
configuration from the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. You can also configure the
address(es) manually.
In addition, you can use the IP Address
Configuration screen to specify one or more
gateway addresses. (A gateway address is the
address of a local IP router on the same network as
the DataSafe NAS that is used to forward traffic to
destinations beyond the local network.) The value in
each field must be a number from 0 through 255.
Note: Changing the IP address may cause the client
to lose its connection with the DataSafe NAS.
To reconnect, the user must either use the new
IP address or wait until the DNS server is
updated.
To automatically set or change the IP settings
1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.
2. On the Network Setup page, click Interfaces.
3. On the Object Selection table, select the
network connection to modify.
4. On the Tasks list, select IP.
The IP Address Configuration page (Figure 7) dis-
plays.
