After installation and initialization, you can use the following methods to log in to your
ASUSTOR NAS:
● Use ASUSTOR Control Center to scan your local area network for ASUSTOR NAS devices.
Select your NAS and then click on the “Open” button to go to bring up the login screen.
● If you already know the IP address for your ASUSTOR NAS on your local area network,
you can directly enter it into your web browser to connect to your NAS. For example:
http://172.16.1.69:8000/
● If you are connecting to your ASUSTOR NAS remotely, you can enter your personalized
hostname into your web browser to connect to your NAS. For example:
http://john.myasustor.com:8000
Reminder: When connecting remotely, please remember to register your NAS
and then enable Cloud Connect under [Settings][Ease of Access][Cloud
Connect][Enable Cloud Connect]. After configuring a Cloud ID for your NAS,
you will be able to connect to it remotely using your customized hostname.
