After connecting and setting up the NAS Device (see the included Quick Start
Guide for instructions), the user can perform custom configurations. This chapter explains how to configure the NAS Device on the network for various tasks, including file sharing, setting up a print server, and changing the password.
Client PC Setup
The following items need to be checked or configured:
• Network Logon (Windows 98 SE and Me only)
• Locating the NAS Device on the network
• Mapping to the NAS Device
Network Logon (Windows 95/98/ME only)
To check the Network Logon, follow this procedure:
1. Check the Window log on: from the computer’s desktop, select Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Network.
Ensure the “Primary Network Logon” is set to “Client for Microsoft
Networks,” as shown below.
3
Actiontec Network Attached Storage Device User Manual
2. Log on when Windows prompts for a network logon. If ESC (on the keyboard) or Cancel is clicked, no network resources will be available. When logging on, a valid user name and password must be entered. If the administrator has defined users on the NAS Device, use the user name and password supplied by him/her.
Using the NAS Server's Storage
To use the NAS Device’s storage capabilities, “map” a drive letter to each folder on the Device that needs to be accessed. This creates a “network drive” on the computer, which will then be available to all programs. To do this:
1. Double-click Network Neighborhood (or My Network Places).
2. On the “View” menu, select Details. The “Comment” column appears.
3. Locate the NAS Device, as shown below. If not listed, double-click Entire
Network. Then double-click the workgroup to which the Device belongs. (By default, the Device’s workgroup is “Workgroup.”)
AEEE
4. Double-click the “ NAS ” icon. A list of shares (shared folders) appears. Files can be read from or written to these shares, unless the administrator has blocked access.
5. To create a shortcut to a NAS folder, drag its icon to the desktop, and accept
Windows offer to create a shortcut.
Mapping a Network Drive
You can give a share (shared folder) on the NAS Device a drive letter on the computer, such as “F:” This is called “mapping” the drive. To do this:
1. Right-click on the desired share on the Device.

Accessing the NAS
Device on the Internet
If the network is connected to the Internet, typically by a broadband router/ gateway and modem, the NAS Device can be made available via the Internet.
Features available to Internet users include:
• Using a Web browser to view and download files
• Remote management
4
Connecting Via the Internet
If the network is connected to the Internet via a router or gateway, the NAS Device can be made available from the Internet.
No changes to the NAS configuration are required, unless using a port number other than the default value of 80 for Web connections.
The router or gateway must be configured to pass incoming HTTP connections
(and optionally, IPP connections) to the NAS Device. This feature is normally called
Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is explained below.
• The default port number for Web browser connections is 80. If using a different port number, specify the port number in the “System” screen (see page 23). The “Web” entry for /Port Forwarding / Virtual Server must then use the port number specified in the System screen.
• To connect to the NAS Device, Internet users need to know and use the
Internet IP address of the router/gateway. (If the port number is not 80, they also need to know the port number.)
• If using a domain name, users can connect using the domain name instead of the IP address. If the router/gateway supports dynamic DNS , use a domain name even if a different IP address is used every time a user connects to the
ISP . Check the documentation of the router/gateway for further information.
43
Actiontec Network Attached Storage Device User Manual
Using the Web Browser from the Internet
This is identical to using the Web browser from the network. But remember:
• The Internet IP address must be used to connect to the NAS Device, not the
LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the NAS Device has been changed from the default (80), specify the correct port number when connecting. For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the following as the browser's IP address: http://203.70.212.52:8080
Remote Management
Connection via the Web browser from the Internet is the same as connecting via the network. But remember:
• The Internet IP address must be used to connect to the NAS Device, not the
LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the NAS Device has been changed from the default (80), specify the correct port number when connecting. For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the following as the browser's IP address: http://203.70.212.52:8080
Once connected to the NAS Device via the Internet, all the Web-based management features are available.
However, the “Browse” button on the Shares screen only allows Web-based file browsing. (If using Internet Explorer on Windows, network users can browse shares using Windows Explorer.)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol
An FTP client can also be used to upload and download files from the Internet.
To do this, port forward the FTP port (port 21) on the router or gateway to the IP address of the NAS Device.
44
Troubleshooting
5
This chapter lists some common problems, and their solutions.
Problem 1:
Solution 1:
The NAS Utility doesn’t list any NAS Devices.
Check the following:
• The NAS Device is installed, LAN connections are OK , and it is powered on and startup is complete.
• Ensure the computer and the NAS Device are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
• Ensure the computer has the TCP/IP network protocol loaded. In Windows, this is done by using Control
Panel-Network. If an entry for TCP/IP -> Network card is not listed, use Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP to add it.
You then need to select the new entry ( TCP/IP ->
Network card), click Properties, and configure the IP
Address tab.
• If the LAN has a DHCP server, you can select “Obtain an IP Address automatically”.
• Otherwise, you must select “Specify an IP Address”, and enter values for IP address and subnet mask. The
IP address range commonly used is 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
(The NAS Device's default IP address is 192.168.0.2, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Remember that each device needs a unique IP address, and the same subnet mask.
45
Actiontec Network Attached Storage Device User Manual
Problem 2:
Solution 2
The NAS Device is configured, but I can’t find it in Network
Neighborhood.
Try using Start - Find - Computer, and enter the NAS Device's name. If this does not work, use Control Panel - Network to check the following:
• TCP/IP protocol is installed. If not, use Add - Protocol
- Microsoft - TCP/IP to install it.
• Check the network Bindings:
• Ensure the TCP/IP protocol is bound to the Network card (NIC).
Select the Network card, click Properties, and then the
Bindings tab. If TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.
• Ensure the TCP/IP -> Network card entry is bound to the Client for Microsoft Networks service.
Select the TCP/IP entry for the Network Card, click
Properties, and then the Bindings tab. If Client for
Microsoft Networks is not bound (checked), check it.
• If you don't have a router, check that the IP address is compatible with the NAS Device's. This means it needs to be from the same address range (e.g. 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.254) and using the same subnet mask (e.g.
255.255.255.0)
• If you do have a router, check that the gateway IP address is set correctly. Ask the administrator for the correct value.
46
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
47
Actiontec Network Attached Storage Device User Manual Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Problem 3
Solution 3
When I click on an NAS folder icon in Network
Neighborhood, I get prompted for a password.
This can happen in the following situations:
• The Logon name you used on the computer is recognized by the NAS Device, but the password is not.
Simply enter the NAS password, or make the Windows password the same as the NAS password.
• The logon name you used on the computer is not recognized by the NAS Device, and was converted to guest, with guest access rights. Ask the administrator to create a user name for you. (Use the same name as on the computer.)
• You do not have access permission for this share.
Ask the administrator to grant you access.
☞ Note: Windows uses the computer name, as shown on Control Panel - Network -
Identification, as the default Logon Name.
But you can create a new Windows logon name by merely entering a new name and password at the Logon prompt.
