The  NAS  unit is  factory configured  for  dynamic IP addressing  (DHCP client). Connect  the  unit to  a  network (router  or  switch)  where  DHCP is supported.
Static IP may be assigned later after initial setup.
Storage
The NAS unit does not support FIS switching for port multipliers, therefore any eSATA devices must be a single drive or a RAID array. Also, through the use
of USB hubs, up to a total of 16 physical storage devices may be connected, also counting any...

the NAS unit has the Workgroup name set to WORKGROUP.

After the Initial Setup is complete and storage is attached, the NAS units basic configuration is complete; however, it will not immediately start sharing the
storage until at least one share is configured. The NAS unit can share an entire drive, a folder on a drive that has existing content, or create a new folder to
share. Refer to the section titled “Add A Shared Folder” for details.

The next step is to configure network connections. The gateway is usually the internal IP address for the router the NAS unit is connected to. DNS entries
are usually the same as used by the routers external network configuration (determined by your ISP). Setting an NTP server will synchronize the NAS unit to
a time server, usually on the Internet. This can be a name or IP address. Use the keywords “free NTP servers” on your preferred search engine if you wish to
configure this feature and dont know of a...
