time you are connecting your iNAS to your network.
1. Connect the provided Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the iNAS

5. Pressing the Down Button (Switch B) will display the LAN IP of
192.168.1.254.
6. If there are no Network IP conflictions, you should now be able to access
the iNAS in one of two ways.
a. Open an internet browser such as Internet Explorer, and go the
following URL: http://192.168.1.254
b. Open Network Neighborhood and the iNAS will appear under the
“NAS” workgroup. Note, before you can save data to the iNAS you
must complete the Quick Configuration to enable the drive.
7. The iNAS should now be connected to the network and now it’s time to
configure the iNAS to your Network. If you cannot connect to your iNAS
at this time please refer to the Troubleshooting section.
