. If you want
to determine the specifi c address within
this range, you can use the network “ping”
function to “ping sohonas” or “ping sohonas.
local”.
If the NAS drive has been previously accessed
ii.
in order to disable Bonjour and you are now
connecting to a network with no DHCP server
present, then a different auto-negotiation
takes place. In this case the NAS drive will
automatically launch its internal DHCP server.
This will result in the NAS drive taking the
default IP address of
192.168.1.1
and
will also assign addresses (in the range of
192.168.1.2-50) to other DHCP clients on the
network .
After successfully connecting to your network you will be
8.
able to see the NAS drive on your network. Its default name is
“Sohonas” and it will be located in the network workgroup named
“Workgroup”. In Windows go to My Network Places / Entire
Network / Microsoft Windows Network / Workgroup, or in Mac
OS X go to Finder / Network / Workgroup. You can open the
device to see the following default folders:
admin
c.
guest-share
d.
public

Though you are now ready to begin storing data on your drive, at this point
you have only the two default user accounts set up. To set up other user
accounts, and to confi gure other basic system settings, you are urged to
continue setup using the web-based administration tool described in the
next section.
Web-Based Administration Tool
The web-based administration tool is used to modify all internal settings of
your NAS drive. It is accessed using your computer’s web browser (such as
Internet Explorer or Netscape). To access the administration tool, your PC or
Mac should be on the same subnet as the NAS drive.
