If connected to a Windows system the first 2 Partitions created by the NAS setup process
are not visible because the are formatted with a file system windows is not able to use by
default.
Attention: The content of the first two system partitions created by the NAS setup
process must not be changed manually in order to guaranty the
appropriate operation of the IB-NAS2001 in the NAS modus.
To switch between the NAS modus and then external hard drive modus it is first
necessary to turn of the IB-NAS2001, disconnect the old interface, connect the new one
and turn it on again. After that the Modus is chosen in the described way by the first
interface witch is connected at the time of start up.
How to access the Management Interface
The NAS modus is controlled by a web based interface which could be accessed by using
a standard web browser. In a normal network environment this is simply done by
entering “http://icybox” in the address line of the web browser. But whether that works
is determined by the configuration of the network environment.
The following Possibilities are given:
DHCP controlled Network with automatic DNS update
In a DHCP
1
controlled Network the ICY BOX IB-NAS2001 is assigned with an IP Address
2
by the DHCP server. In case the DHCP server updates this information automatically to
the DNS
3
Server (see RFC 2136). The ICY BOX IB-NAS2001 could be accessed by simply
entering “http://icybox” in the address line of a standard web browser. Continue with
point “Using the management interface” for setting up the IB-NAS2001 on Page 17.

DHCP acronym for “dynamic host configuration protocol” names a process witch assigns network parameters to a computer
attached towards a network automatically via a specialized DHCP server. Most DSL routers provide such a service.

IP-Address is a 32 bit binary number mostly expressed by a group of four numbers in the Range between 1 and 255
separated by “.” e.g. 169.254.100.100. This is used for addressing hosts in a TCP/IP based Network.
3
DNS is the acronym for “domain name service”. This names a process of assigning internet names to IP Addresses. The DNS
server is comparable to a telephone book. At this server all internet applications look up the referring IP Address for an internet
name. Without that service or when the DHCP server doesn’t know the internet name, the internet name could not be used to
address a host or device. The only chance to get access to that host or device is to use the IP Address directly.
