8. Configuration Wizard The Wizard allows you to quickly and easily set up and configure the FNS-1020 1-Bay Simple Network Storage. The items that will be set up includes: IP Address DHCP Mode Device Time Hard Disk Press the “Next” button to start configuration.
Step 1: If you are unsure which option to choose, just keep it as [Auto]. If you choose Server/Auto/Static modes, you will need to set further TCP/IP settings. Usually there is no need to change these settings, however if you encounter difficulty, please ask your network administrator.
Step 2: Here there are three ways to set the system time for your FNS-1020. 1. Sync with a Network Time Server 2. Use your computer’s time 3. Set the time manually.
Step 3: There are two security levels. Guest Mode: Anyone can access your storage. If Guest Mode is chosen, the system will ask if you want to initialize your disk with only one partition. If you are using a new hard disk, it is recommended you choose [Yes], as this option will format your hard disk later.
Authorization Mode: Only authorized users can access data in the password-protected folders. If authorization mode is chosen, it is necessary to reallocate and format your hard disk drive. Please indicate your desired capacities for public and private directories. When the capacity of one directory is assigned, the system will automatically assign the rest to the other directory.
9. Advanced Functions To access the Advanced Setup, click on General at the main login page. Once in the Advanced Setup, you will be presented with the following screen. In this mode, you can change the language of the User Interface. The supported languages are English, German, Danish, Greek and Traditional Chinese.
Network Settings LAN Configurations These are the various network settings for the FNS-1020. General Settings Device IP The default IP address of FNS-1020. However if the device obtained an IP address from a DHCP server, then the IP address will be different Host Name The identification name of the FNS-1020 when you browse for it on your network. DHCP Mode Client The FNS-1020 will receive an automatic IP address from a DHCP server on your network.
DHCP Server Settings Subnet Mask The subnet mask of your network IP Address Range Decide the IP address range that the FNS-1020’s DHCP Server will provide. Primary / Secondary DNS This feature allows you to assign DNS Servers. Gateway The gateway IP address would be the IP address of your gateway or router.
Storage Configuration In this section, you will learn how to use the different storage functions such as file sharing, assign user access rule and enabling media servers. Storage Sharing These settings decide how your FNS-1020 will appear in the “My Network Places” in Windows operating systems. Storage Server Device Name The identification name you can give to the FNS-1020 as it will appear in Microsoft My Network Places. WorkGroup Indicates the workgroup name under Microsoft My Network places.
FTP Server FTP is another method of accessing your files. By default, the FTP server is enabled so you can use any FTP client utility. An advantage to FTP service is that you can set the maximum concurrent connections (max 20).
Disk Utility If you did not initialize and format the hard disk using the wizard, then you can manually do it here. Disk Utility Format Format the hard disk drive Check Checks the integrity of the disk partition. You can also use the Disk Utility to change the hard disk to one partition by clicking the Disk Partition button. If you press “Format” button, the FNS-1020 will make only one partition with the total capacity of the internal hard disk, and then format that partition.
Access Control These settings allow you to set the User Access security controls for your shared files and folders under Microsoft Network Places and FTP services. There are two levels of access control. Guest Mode: Anyone can access any data stored on the FNS-1020. There is no need to set any user access controls under this mode. Authorization Mode: Only authorized people can access certain folders on the hard disk.
To access folders in Authorization mode, find the FNS-1020 in Microsoft My Network Places. For example, we have created a User Account called user1. Anyone can access data stored in the Public and usb_disk folders. However only user1 can access data which is stored in the user1 folder. When someone wants to access the user1 folder, an authentication window will pop-up and ask for the username and password.
File Browser The FNS-1020 provides a file browser to let users rename and delete folders / files easily. This is especially useful when users cannot rename or delete folders or files via FTP or Microsoft My Network Places successfully. For example, users may download from the Internet an “unrecognized” file, and may appear as random characters, such as $#$@.avi. Sometimes these files cannot be renamed so the user can correct the file name with this file browser.
UPnP AV Media Server Settings An UPnP Media Server allows other multimedia devices on your network to find and access media files on the FNS-1020. Using this method, a virtual folder will be created to show only the media file types decided by the user. This filtering process is done using a database of media files which is automatically updated in the background by the FNS-1020. UPnP Server Virtual Folder Display Tick the type of files you want to appear in this virtual folder.
Advanced Tools These tools enable you to configure the various system settings. Configuration Backup This allows you to back up the current settings of the FNS-1020. Reset to Default This will reset the FNS-1020 to its default factory settings. Reboot Will reboot the FNS-1020 Firmware Upgrade This enables you to upgrade to newer firmware (available to download on www.level1.com), or to restore a backup configuration.
Download Assistant This function allows you to download files from the Internet without using a computer. You can queue or schedule download jobs so you can easily let the FNS-1020 do the work for you without needing any additional input. Additionally, the FNS-1020 can even send an e-mail to you to inform you that the file has finished downloading. Add Download Job There are three types of protocols you can use to download files, HTTP, FTP or BitTorrent.
FTP Job Name Name of the Download Job FTP Server IP address or URL of the file to download Eg: ftp.level1.com/file1.avi Port Port number that the source FTP server uses.

BitTorrent Before using the BitTorrent downloading function, please click on the BitTorrent Config button to configure the settings. BitTorrent Job Limit Number of BitTorrent jobs that can be running at one time. Listen Port The port number that the FNS-1020 will run the BitTorrent Client. You will need to set up on your broadband router, port forwarding or a virtual server to the FNS-1020 IP address for this port number.

Step 2: BitTorrent Job Name Name of the Download Job File Character Set The language of the filename. If unsure, use none.

Email when Complete When the file has finished downloading, a notice will be sent to the indicated e-mail address.
Email Alert Configuration Email Alert can send you a notification email when a download job has completed. Email Settings E-mail Address Enter the email that will be used as the sender of the email alert feature.

Miscellaneous Settings This section allows you to change some system settings. Administrator Timeout Set how long a user can be idle when logged into the FNS-1020 User Interface. If the user remains idle for too long, then they will be automatically logged out, and they will need to enter the password again.
System Time Here there are three ways to set the system time for your FNS-1020. 1. Sync with a Network Time Server 2. Use your computer’s time 3. Set the time manually. System Logs Logs are useful for troubleshooting, and you can review the whole system logs here. There are four categories of logs: System Log, Samba, and FTP.
10. FAQ 1. How to “Reset settings to default”? A: Press the buttons of “Shutdown” and “Backup” simultaneously over 6 seconds to reset the system to the factory default setting. 2. What can I do if I forget login password? A: Please refer to question 1 above to reset setting to default. The default login password is admin. 3. When I log in to the storage directory of the FNS-1020 via My Network Places, I cannot find any files of folders even though I have installed a Hard Disk Drive in the FNS-1020.
7. Why can’t I access the file from My Network Places after enabling Authorization mode? A: Sometimes I can’t access folders via My Network Places by using correct user name and password, such as shown below: This is because a Windows system caches the previous login records, so that user cannot use another account to login this device. To solve this problem, please disconnect previous network drive first.
