Administration Login

In most cases you need only to enter the default hostname (i.e., “//sohonas” for Windows, or “//sohonas.local” for Bonjour) in your browser’s address window to access the administration tool. If for some reason the default hostname was not assigned to the NAS drive’s IP address during auto- configuration, then you can alternatively enter the NAS drive’s IP address into the browser’s address window.

As described previously, your router or other network equipment will have assigned the IP address automatically, or the drive will have taken one of its default addresses (either a Bonjour address 169.254.x.x or the non-Bonjour address 192.168.1.1). If your router assigns addresses automatically your router’s manual will describe how to determine your drive’s IP address.

After your browser retrieves the initial web page from the NAS drive, the browser window will present the following login screen:

From this screen you must enter the following default Username and Password:

Username: admin
