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.

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.
