LAN Configuration

1. Click on the LAN Configuration tab from the menu to continue.

2.Assign a fixed IP address that won’t conflict with any other devices on your network. We suggest contacting your network administrator if you are unaware of the available IP address on your network. We also suggest only changing the third field in the IP address. For example you could change 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.2.254. The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway should match the settings of your LAN’s router.

3.If you plan to have computers connected to the iNAS, then you should keep Enable DHCP Server selected. However you must make sure that this doesn’t cause IP confliction on your network, so you may have to change the Start/End IP range. If you are not connecting devices to the iNAS, then you should disable this option.

4.Click Apply to change the setting and the iNAS will restart. Please note that the URL of 192.168.1.254 is no longer valid and will not open the iNAS after it has rebooted.

5.When the iNAS has finished rebooting, switch the Ethernet cable on the back of the iNAS from the LAN port to the WAN port. The iNAS should now pick up an IP address from the network’s DHCP router or use the static IP that you assigned. You can now access the iNAS from a web browser using this new IP address. Please note if you selected to use a port other than 80, you will have to enter that number as described in step 3 of the WAN configuration section.

6.The iNAS should now be connected via the WAN port to your network, and you should have access through a Web Browser or Network Neighborhood. It’s now time to configure the users of the iNAS, and then configure your router to allow for remote access.
