NAS via the Internet Overview If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the NAS available via the Internet. Features available to Internet users include: • Using a Web browser to view and download files. • Remote management Making the NAS available via the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet via a Router or Gateway, you can make the NAS available from the Internet.
Connecting via the Internet • The default port number for Web browser connections is 80. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the NAS System screen. The "Web" entry for /Port Forwarding / Virtual Server must then use the port number specified on the NAS System screen. • To connect to the NAS, Internet users need to know and use the Internet IP address of your Router/Gateway. (If the port number is not 80, they also need to know the port number.
• If you have a domain name, users can connect using the domain name instead of the IP address. If your Router/Gateway supports Dynamic DNS, you can use a domain name even if you get a different IP address every time you connect to your ISP. Check the documentation of your Router/Gateway for further information. Using your Web Browser from the Internet This is identical to using your Web browser from the LAN. See Using the Web File Sharing for details.
Printing via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) To print to the NAS via the Internet, the port used for IPP (TCP port 631) must be associated with the NAS. See Making the NAS available via the Internet earlier in this chapter for details. The NAS is an IPP Server. To use IPP, your PC must be an IPP client. Windows 2000 and XP have builtin support for IPP, so there is no need to use the provided IPP client program. IPP Setup - Windows 2000/XP 1. Start the Add Printer wizard. 2.
3. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your Intranet, and enter the URL of the NAS as follows. http://ip_address:631/printers/printer_name Where: • ip_address represents the IP Address used to access the NAS. (As explained earlier, this may be the Internet address of a Gateway, rather than the NAS itself.) • printer_name is the name of the printer, as set on the NAS System screen. • The other text is fixed, and can NOT be changed.
6. Click "Next", and complete the Wizard. The IPP printer is now ready for use. IPP Client Setup (Windows 9x, ME) You need to install the supplied IPP client program, as follows: 1. Insert the NAS CD-ROM in your drive. If the program does not start automatically, run the NAS_Setup.exe program in the top-level folder. 2. On the first screen, click the icon for IPP Client. 3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. IPP Client Configuration 1. 2. Click the "Add IPP Port" icon.
IPP Port 3. Configure this screen as follows: IPP Server Enter the Internet IP address used to connect to the NAS, as follows. http://ip_address:631/printers/printer_name Where: • ip_address represents the IP Address used to access the NAS. (As explained earlier, this may be the Internet address of a Gateway, rather than the NAS itself.) • printer_name is the name of the printer, as set on the NAS System screen. • The other text is fixed, and can NOT be changed.
exactly as shown. Example: http://203.70.212.52:631/printers/LKLKG974163_p1 Proxy Server 4. If Internet access from your PC is via a Proxy Server, check Access IPP Server via Proxy Server, and enter details of your Proxy Server. (These will be the same as your Browser configuration, so check your Browser settings.) Click Save to create the IPP port on your system.
5. Either select an existing printer to use the new port, and click OK. OR a) Click the "Add New Printer" button to start the Add Printer wizard. b) Complete the Wizard, installing the desired printer as a local printer on your PC. c) When returned to this screen, select the new printer and click OK. 6. The selected printer is now associated with the remote NAS, and installation is complete.
Remote Management Connection via your Web browser from the Internet is the same as connecting via the LAN. But remember: • You must use the Internet IP address to connect to the NAS, NOT the LAN IP address. • If the port number used by the NAS has been changed from the default (80), you must specify the correct port number when you connect. For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the following as your browser's Address or Location: HTTP://203.70.212.
Troubleshooting This chapter lists some common problems, and the solution to them. Problem 1: The NAS Utility doesn't list any NAS Servers. Solution 1: Check the following: • The NAS is installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON and startup is complete. • Ensure that your PC and the NAS are on the same network segment.
