Administration 

Overview 

This Chapter describes using the Web-based Administration interface.  

For details on using the Windows utility, see the 

Basic Installation & Setup

 Chapter. 

The Web-based Administrative Interface 

To establish a connection from your PC to the interNAS/USB Server: 

1.  Start your WEB browser. 

2.  In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the interNAS/USB Server's IP Address. If using the default 

IP address: 

HTTP:// 192.168.0.100 

Note

: If the port number used by the interNAS/USB has been changed (on the 

System

 screen) from the 

default (80), you must specify the correct port number when you connect.  
For example, if the current port is 8080: 

      HTTP://192.168.0.100:8080
