Changing the IP Address

Clear the “DHCP” checkbox and enter the desired IP address and its subnet mask.

Select “User (static)” from the drop-down list for both the “Gateway Settings” and “DNS Settings” options, then
enter the desired default gateway address and DNS server addresses.

Click OK .
Note: Network services such as SMB will restart when the Ethernet cable is disconnected/reconnected or if a
network issue occurs. You can specify the time to delay the restart at the “Services Restarted After” option.
Mapping IP Address and Hostname
The LinkStation allows you to map an IP address and a hostname (FQDN) of another host you would like the
LinkStation to communicate with, such as the domain controller. If you configure the mapping pair, the LinkStation
can be accessed using the configured pair when name resolution is needed. Follow the procedure below to
configure FQDN mapping.
