NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo User Guide
1-2 Configuring Your ReadyNAS Duo
v1.1, April 2008
Toward the bottom left, there are two buttons that allow you to switch back and forth between the
Setup Wizard mode and the Advanced Control mode. At the bottom of the screen is the status bar
including the date button on the left which, which clicked, links you to the Clock screen. The
status lights to the right give a quick glimpse of the system device status.
Move the mouse pointer over the status light to display device information, or click a status light to
display the status in more detail. Above the Status Lights is the Apply button. Use this to save any
changes on the current screen.
You can access your Network settings by selecting Network from the main menu. From the
Network menu, you can then navigate to your basic network settings screens such as Interfaces,
Global Settings, WINS and DHCP.
Setting Up Your Network Connection
This section allows you to refine your local network interface settings as well as your global
settings that allow access to your workgroup and share folders.

Ethernet Interface Settings

Select Network > Interfaces, and then select the Ethernet tab. From this screen you can specify
your network interface-specific settings.
In the Standard Setting section, you can specify the IP address, network mask, speed/duplex
mode, and MTU settings. In most networks where a DHCP server is enabled, you can simply
specify the Use values from a DHCP server option to automatically set the IP address and
network mask.
