You must enable the ReadyNAS system service File Search before enabling Mac Finder
use.
If the ReadyNAS uses the SMB protocol with the Mac (the most common way), you must
first set an SMB option.
To configure SMB to work with the Mac Finder:
1. Log in to the ReadyNAS system.
2. Select System > Settings.
The page updates showing the system settings.
3. Click the SMB button.
The SMB Settings window opens.
4. Select the Enhance MacOS check box.
5. Click the Apply button.
The SMB Settings window closes.
You can now search the files on your ReadyNAS using the Mac Finder.
Configure the Network Settings
The network settings include the Ethernet interface, bonded adapters, and static routes.
Basic Network Concepts
The acronym NAS in ReadyNAS is short for network-attached storage. Your local area
network (LAN) is an integral part of managing and using your ReadyNAS storage system.
Connecting your ReadyNAS storage system to the Internet expands your ability to access
data stored on your ReadyNAS system when you are away from it. It also allows you to
share data with people located around the world.
A typical network setup that includes a ReadyNAS system resembles this illustration.
