2.4 Web Configuration - IP Configuration
2.4.1 IP Configuration
By default, the IP Config is set to Automatic IP. This is the recommended setting and will allow the
network drive to obtain its IP address automatically. If you prefer setting it manually, select the
Static IP option, enter your own values and click
Apply
to confirm the new settings.
Setting it manually is useful when you need to have a static IP address in order to mount the
network drive or set up port forwarding. To find out the correct settings for a static IP setup, refer to
your router settings or ask your system administrator.
2.4.2 PPPoE
If you are using DSL or a cable modem to connect to the Internet and your network hub, switch or
router does not dial-up automatically, enter the PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
account information you have received from your provider here and all local users can share one
PPPoE connection to access the Internet.
