IP Address

In most networks, LinkStation will get its IP

Address automatically from a DHCP server.

You may disable DHCP here if you would rather set a static IP address manually. If DHCP is disabled and an IP Address is not set manually, it will default to 169.254.xxx.xxx with subnet mask 255.255.0.0. The LinkStation’s IP

Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway

Address, and DNS Server address may all be entered manually under IP Address Properties.

Ethernet Frame Size may also be set manually on this page. Only use JumboFrame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where all other clients support the same JumboFrame setting.

Click Apply after making any changes.

Network (Workgroup/Domain)

If you do not participate in a Domain network, then please leave the Network Type selected as Workgroup and

Workgroup Name set to the name of your local workgroup.

To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or an NT domain, enter the appropriate information into the fields on this page and click Apply.

If using NT Domain, LinkStation must be added as a member computer in the Domain Server.

Setting NT Domain for network type integrates the

LinkStation with a Windows NT server. The LinkStation

Pro participates as a member device in the Domain network, allowing the LinkStation to use Users and Groups from the Domain.

Once you have finished, press Apply.
