1.2 Mapping a Network Drive (OS-X)

The simplest method to locate and connect your MaxNAS R8 to an OS-X workstation is by using the Finder Network browser.

If you can’t locate the computer or server within the network browser, you may be able to find it by typing its network address in the Connect to Server dialog, accessible from the “Go” -> “Connect to Server” Finder menu option.

In the server address field, enter “smb://[MaxNAS R8]/[sharename]” where [MaxNAS R8] is the name or IP address of the MaxNAS R8, and [sharename] is a specific share being mapped, and click the “Connect” button.

If the share is not public a “SMB/CIFS File

System Authentication” window appears.

Enter an authorized User name and

Password, and click

 

OK .

 

Select a share and

click

OK . The

selected share will appear on your desktop.
