Discover and Set Up Your ReadyNAS Using
ReadyCLOUD
ReadyCLOUD is an online service that you can use to discover and set up ReadyNAS
storage systems on your network. (Use the Admin Page to set up rackmount ReadyNAS
storage systems.) You can also use ReadyCLOUD to access and manage data on both
ReadyNAS systems. For you to use ReadyCLOUD, your computer and storage system

the RAIDar utility instead. It includes versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating
systems. It is available at http://www.netgear.com/raidar.
When you discover your device using ReadyCLOUD, you can choose whether to use
ReadyCLOUD to set up and manage your device or use advanced offline installation.
