Connecting to the NAS Unit
All of the NAS unit's functions and features are configured using a Web Interface. Once the hardware is installed, access the Web Interface with a web
browser on a computer attached to the same network by typing in “http://addnas” - this will work on most Windows systems. Be sure the computer accessing
the NAS unit has the Workgroup name set to WORKGROUP.
Operating systems other than Windows may need to access the web interface by typing in the NAS unit's IP address instead of “http://addnas.”
Mac: Mac users may determine the NAS unit's IP address by opening a Terminal window and typing the following command:
smbutil lookup addnas
This utility should return the NAS unit's IP address.
Linux: Linux users may find the NAS unit with the Samba client. The packages samba and samba-client must be installed, and the Linux Firewall must be
configured to trust “Samba Client” (inbound ports 137/udp and 138/udp). Having met these requirements, open a Terminal window and type in the following
command:
nmblookup ADDNAS
If the above methods do not work, determine the NAS unit's IP address by examining the DHCP server's clients table. Usually this means connecting to a
home router's web interface. Refer to the router's User Guide for details on how to locate the DHCP Clients table. Many routers list the hostnames for DHCP
clients in the table, if so the NAS unit's default hostname is ADDNAS. Otherwise, you may have to try each IP address listed.
Initial Setup
Once you have connected to the Web Interface, the Initial Setup page will appear:
Click Next, then a dialog will appear requesting the Administrator login. The default username is "admin" and the password is "123456" (without the double-
quote marks). Next, set a custom password for the admin account. The admin account name may also be changed.
