Chapter 3- Administering the MaxNAS R8

This chapter describes the menu and control structure for your MaxNAS R8. The configuration is firmware-based and its operation is independent of host computer type or operating system.

Connecting to the MaxNAS R8 web interface is as easy as typing its IP address or WINS name into the navigation bar of an Internet browser window. Once you have done so, you will be presented the initial login screen. There are three options on this page: System Administration, Web Disk and Photo Server.

Note: The MaxNAS R8 can be configured to require SSL encrypted connections only. If Web Access Control was configured in this manner, the webUI will be accessible by using HTTPS://[MaxNAS address]. For more information on setting web access control, see section 3.3.6 of this chapter.

In this chapter we will explore the Administration section of the web interface. The Web Disk and Photo Server pages will be discussed in later chapters.
