Administration of the NAS
Please note: this manual contains many screen shots to demonstrate graphically how to set up,
administrate and use the NAS. The screen shots may contain different product names such as “gbnas”,
“gbnas2” and “gforcenas” and different IP addresses at various locations because we have several
NAS product models sharing the same procedures for set up and administration, they are all used to
take the screen shots to create this user’s manual. Please follow the general instructions and
substitute in throughout the manual with your specific NAS model, product name and network IP
address while managing and using your specific NAS model in your network environment.
If you manually configure an IP address for the NAS enclosure, you have a fixed, known IP address,
you can access the NAS from the web browser to start formatting the hard drive or managing the NAS.
In this case, please skip to the section “Managing the NAS” directly.
In another case, G-S350UN obtains a dynamic IP address from your local DHCP server if available.
However, you generally do not know the dynamic IP address it obtains. You have to find this specific
dynamic IP address in order to administrate and use the NAS enclosure. Next we will show you ways
to connect to the NAS and find its dynamic IP address.
Again we strongly recommend you to set a
fixed IP address to the NAS as soon as possible because a dynamic IP address for the NAS can
change often, which makes it very difficult to track its new IP to use the NAS.
Finding the NAS with DHCP IP Address
In Windows PC
If a software CD comes with the NAS enclosure, please load the CD into CD-ROM drive, locate the
SetupUtil.exe file. Otherwise, please visit
http://www.macally.com/EN/Techsupport/
to download NAS
Setup Utility file SetupUtil.exe. Save the file to the desktop then expand the zip file.
Launch SetupUtil.exe. In the Setup Wizard, please select GBNAS, the IP address the NAS obtains
automatically will appear on the right hand side as below example. IP Status will show DHCP instead.
Please write the IP address down, then click on “Exit” button. With the known dynamic IP address,
please go to the subsection “Managing the NAS”.
