Configuration

When first powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the DNS-343 will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address,

by default it will have a self-assigned auto IP address of 169.254.x.x. It is recommended to use the included D-Link Easy Search Utility when accessing and configuring the

DNS-343 for the first time. If you want to change the IP address before logging in or are unable to connect to the DNS-343 IP address, you can use the Easy Search Utility

provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and make any needed changes.

The Easy Search Utility displays any DNS-343 devices

it detects on the network here.

Refreshes the device list.

Click Configuration to access the Web based

configuration of the DNS-343.

Configure the LAN Settings for the DNS-343 here.

Click Apply to save changes to the LAN Settings.

Volumes available for mapping are displayed here.

Choose an available drive letter. Click Connect to map

the selected volume. Click Disconnect to disconnect

the selected mapped volume.
