drive will negotiate an address within the Bonjour range of 169.254.x.x. If you want to determine the specific address within this range, you can use the network “ping” function to “ping sohonas” or “ping sohonas. local”.

ii. If the NAS drive has been previously accessed in order to disable Bonjour and you are now connecting to a network with no DHCP server present, then a different auto-negotiation takes place. In this case the NAS drive will automatically launch its internal DHCP server. This will result in the NAS drive taking the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and

will also assign addresses (in the range of

192.168.1.2-50) to other DHCP clients on the network .

8. After successfully connecting to your network you will be able to see the NAS drive on your network. Its default name is

“Sohonas” and it will be located in the network workgroup named “Workgroup”. In Windows go to My Network Places / Entire Network / Microsoft Windows Network / Workgroup, or in Mac OS X go to Finder / Network / Workgroup. You can open the device to see the following default folders:

c.admin

d.guest-share

e.public

Though you are now ready to begin storing data on your drive, at this point you have only the two default user accounts set up. To set up other user accounts, and to configure other basic system settings, you are urged to continue setup using the web-based administration tool described in the next section.

Web-Based Administration Tool

The web-based administration tool is used to modify all internal settings of your NAS drive. It is accessed using your computer’s web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape). To access the administration tool, your PC or Mac should be on the same subnet as the NAS drive.
