There are several available options in addition to the basic settings:
Allow entering administration web pages from external network
If this option is not enabled, you will not be able to perform system administration from the computers connected to the WAN port. You may also assign the HTTP port number for entering administration web pages.
Disable response to ICMP packets to avoid attacks from hackers
For additional security, when enabling this option, outside computers cannot use the 'ping' program to probe for IP address of this server.
•LAN Configuration
If you use the Kanguru iNAS 100 as the gateway to connect to the Internet, normally there is no need to change the LAN configuration. Simply change the network configuration of the computers on the LAN to automatically obtain IP addresses via DHCP protocol. By default, the Kanguru iNAS 100 provides the NAT function to allow the computers on your LAN to share a single WAN IP address for Internet access.
Fixed IP address
The IP address is a
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a
Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks, such as LAN and WAN. You don’t need to configure gateway address if the NAT function is enabled; just set it as 0.0.0.0.
Enable DHCP Server
Once the DHCP server function is activated, the Kanguru iNAS 100 will assign dynamic IP addresses to any computer in the local network that is configured to automatically obtain IP addresses.
Note: Only one DHCP server can be activated at any time in a network, or it may cause errors in communication.
•Network File Services
Microsoft Networking
Users using the Kanguru iNAS 100 on the Microsoft Windows operating systems must start Microsoft Network Services.
