EtherFast Network Attached Storage (120GB with PrintServer)

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the EtherFast Network Attached Storage (120GB with PrintServer) from Linksys. Now you can quickly and easily add 120 gigabytes of storage space onto your network.

This stand-alone network appliance features two hard drive bays—one with a 120GB drive in it, and the other available so you can add an additional up to 120GB IDE hard drive as your storage needs grow.

Installation of the Network Attached Storage is simple—just plug it directly into your 10/100 network, and it's instantly available. Or connect it to a Gigabit network! It can serve as your network's DHCP server, and also has a built-in print server so you can add a network printer without burdening a PC with spooling chores.

The Network Attached Storage features built-in disk utilities, accessible through your web browser. You can run a self-test, and scan or defrag the disk(s). If you've installed a second disk drive, you can back up one drive to the other, either manually or on a schedule. Additional quick-connect hard drive trays are available, so you can quickly swap multiple backup drives to create rotating backups.

For even more flexibility and utility, the Network Attached Storage can be set up to be accessible directly from the Internet—uploading and downloading files either via a web browser or by FTP. Files can be available publicly, or create password-protected accounts for your authorized users.

The Network Attached Storage is a fast, powerful, flexible and economical addition to your network. Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you connect the Network Attached Storage, set it up, and configure it for easy use. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the EtherFast Network Attached Storage (120GB with PrintServer).
