Quick Install
In order to start sharing storage as soon as possible, follow these step\
s:
Step 1. Attach the NAS 4.0 unit to a network with a DHCP server present
(most home routers provide this by default).
Step 2. Follow the steps described in the Initial Setup section below.
Step 3. Attach one hard disk. The Status LED should begin to blink after a
few moments, then settle back to a steady glow. Confirm at least one
partition was detected using the View Drive Information feature in the
Configuration Menu. If not, the drive may be formatted with ext3 or XFS
using the Format Drive feature in the Configuration Menu.
Step 4. Define at least one share, granting either read-only or full access
rights to “Everyone.”
Installation
Network Connection
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, theref\
ore 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 eSATA drives. One SATA port multiplier in JBOD mode may be 
connected using USB; however, with more than one such port multiplier 
connected only one will function – others will not be recognized at a\
ll.
Each physical unit may be formatted with up to 4 individual partitions u\
sing a 
Master Boot Record (MBR), or up to 15 individual partitions using a GU\
ID 
Partition Table (GPT). Supported file systems are: FAT32, ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, 
and NTFS. The NAS unit will by far provide the best performance when using 
the XFS file system.
NOTE: Initializing a drive with MBR is limited to drives less than 2TB in cap\
acity with up to 4 
partitions total. For drives greater than 2TB in capacity or if more tha\
n 4 partitions are desired, the 
drive must be initialized using a GPT boot record.
The NAS Unit Boot Process
Upon connecting power the unit, the status LED will blink at first betwe\
en bright 
and dim, then remain dark for a few moments, then begin to blink between\
 
bright and dark for a while and finally settle down to glowing steadily. Once this 
pattern is complete the unit is ready to communicate. 
This process normally takes about a minute or less, but may take longer \
 
depending on the complexity of the configuration, storage and LAN 
connections. With the 240 possible file systems, booting may take severa\
l 
minutes or longer.
Resetting the NAS 
Should a problem arise with the NAS unit or its configuration, the unit \
may be 
reset simply by turning the unit off, then back on after a few moments. If this 
doesnt clear the problem, the unit may be returned to its factory confi\
guration 
by gently pressing and holding the reset button between the power and LA\
N 
connectors until the Status LED blinks slowly, then rapidly. After releasing the 
Reset button while blinking slowly there will be no changes. After releasing the 
button once the Status LED blinks rapidly, the Status LED will continue to blink 
for a while, and may possibly glow steadily for a while as well. Eventua\
lly it will 
begin the boot process, beginning with blinking between bright and dim. \
Once 
the boot process is complete and the LED is glowing steadily again, all \
settings 
will have been cleared and the unit is ready to communicate with all set\
tings 
reset to the factory default – including the network and device name \
settings. 
If the process appears to become stuck or takes too long to complete, yo\
u can 
try disconnecting power, then reconnect and after the Status LED blinks bright 
and dark a few times, try the Reset button again.
Initial Setup
Windows: All of the NAS units functions and features are configured using a 
Web Interface. Once the hardware is installed, access the Web Interface with a 
web browser on a computer attached to the same network by typing in 
“http://addnas” - this will work on most Windows systems. Be sure \
the computer 
accessing the NAS has the Workgroup name set to WORKGROUP.
MAC: Mac users may need to determine the NAS units IP address by opening 
a Terminal window and typing the following command:
smbutil lookup addnas 
This utility should return the NAS units IP address. Typing this address into the 
web browser should open the NAS units Web Interface.
Linux: Linux users may need to determine the NAS units IP address if 
Windows name resolution support is not fully installed and configured, b\
y 
examining the DHCP servers clients table and attempting to connect to each 
unidentified IP address using a browser until the NAS units Web Interface 
appears.

Once you have connected to the Web Interface, the Initial Setup page will appear:
Click Next, then a dialog will appear requesting the Administrator login. The 
default username is admin and the password is 123456 (without the 
double-quote marks). Next, set a custom password for the admin account.\
 The 
admin account name may also be changed.
Next, set up the Date and Time. Choose a city nearest you in the same Time 
Zone and be sure the Date and Time are correct.

After clicking on the Update settings button, Initial Setup is complete.\
Sharing Files Using the NAS Unit
SMB (Windows Sharing)
Connecting to the NAS for direct file access through Windows Explorer is\
 very 
similar to sharing files between Windows systems. Typing “\\ADDNAS” (or the 
NAS units hostname if changed from the default) or the double-backslas\
h 
followed by the NAS units IP address is the easiest way to gain direct access 
quickly. After pressing Enter, the Explorer Window should show a list of the shares 
available. Opening any of the shares is like opening any other folder, except when 
accessing a share for the first time, Windows may request a username and\
 
password for access to the share (unless “Everyone” permissions h\
ave been 
changed from the default setting of NONE). Entering a valid username an\
d 
password will open the folder with appropriate access rights to that use\
r. If “NONE” 
permissions are set for that user on that share, Another username and password 
prompt will appear. After connecting to a share, Windows will use the same 
username and password for all connections until the Windows user logs of\
f of 
Windows. 
On Mac systems, on the Finders Go menu choose “Connect to Server...” then in 
the server address box type “smb://” followed by the NAS units IP\
 address. On 
Linux systems, use the “Connect to share...” dialog found on the N\
autilus or “File 
Manager” menu bar, then select Windows Share for the type and complete the 
remaining fields for share name, username and password. Information requ\
ired to 
complete the connection and the systems response vary from one version \
of 
Linux to another, and should be expected to work about the same way as 
connecting to a share on an actual Windows PC.
FTP Server
The NAS FTP Server requires the User Home Directory Drive is defined under 
the Sharing Tab to function. Anonymous login is supported with no user home 
directory and access to any shares with read-only or read and write acce\
ss to 
Everyone for FTP. Authenticated users will have read and write access to their 
home folder and any other shares defined under the Sharing tab with read\
-only or 
read and write access for the user for FTP, as well as Everyone.
Getting Started with MLDonkey
MLDonkey is a powerful, multi-protocol Peer-to-Peer (P2P) client inclu\
ded with the
NAS unit. The features and capabilities of this tool are beyond the scope of this \
user guide, the steps below will show how to get MLDonkey up and running\
. For 
more information on how to use MLDonkey, visit http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net.
MLDonkey Basic Setup
The MLDonkey client requires one partition formatted with either ext3 or\
 XFS. The 
NAS units format utility can format one physical unit with a single par\
tition using all 
space if needed
Under the P2P/MLDonkey tab, choose the drive you wish to create the file\
 
structure on and click Save. Please note: this menu will permit setting \
up folders 
on incompatible file systems. If this is done, MLDonkey will not start o\
r may not be 
able to download files.
When the folder structure is set up, a page will appear stating this is \
done. Click  
the START button. NOTE: The MLDonkey setup page will create a share on the 
selected drive called MLDonkey. This share will be configured with “None” 
permissions to “Everyone” as well as all existing users.
Next, a new page will appear stating MLDonkey is running. Click the link\
 at the 
bottom of the page that reads “Launch MLDonkey Control Panel.” 
A new tab will appear in the browser with the MLDonkey web interface. If \
MLDonkey is not fully initialized yet, the browser may report a failure \
to connect. If 
this happens, wait about one minute and try again, either by refreshing \
the page or 
clicking a “try again” button – this step varies depending on t\
he browser used.
When first setting up, a prompt appears warning there is no password for\
 the 
admin account. Click the space between the “DL” and “Input” \
buttons, then type 
the command “useradd admin” as shown, then add a password after a \
space.
NOTE: The MLDonkey admin account is not the same account as the NAS units web\
 interface admin 
account. It is recommended that the password matches for simplicity, but not necessary.
MLDonkey will perform most of the remaining steps automatically and conn\
ect to
some servers on the Donkey network.
To download a file using the Donkey network, begin by clicking search, th\
en enter
some criteria and click the Search button. After a query message appears, click 
the Search Results button.
To download a Torrent, on the command bar type dllink followed by a space and 
the full URL path to the .Torrent file and press Enter or click Input. (example: dllink
http://sampletorrent.com/path/dot-torrentfile.torrent). MLDonkey will \
parse the
download and add it to the download queue automatically. 
Files queued for download will appear in the MLDonkey share in the incom\
ing/files 
folder when when complete. 
NOTE:  this folder has read-only permissions and cannot be changed.

Choosing Automatic will configure the NAS unit as a DHCP client and the
configuration wizard will skip to the end. Choosing Manual configuration\
 will 
proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 configures the NAS units static IP address and subnet mask. To choose a 
working static IP address, make sure you meet these criteria:
1. The subnet mask must match the rest of the network exactly.
2. The IP address must match the routers IP address exactly where the subnet

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

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 server you can use.
