Instead of using the
terminal to find out
the IP address of
your network drive,
you could also
access the DHCP
records on your
router and see
which IP has been
assigned to your
device.
In an office or
company, please
contact your system
administrator for
help to setup your
device.
4.1.3 Login on a Mac
You will have to find out the IP address of your network drive
and then use the web browser to access the configuration
page.
1. Turn on your device and make sure it is connected to the
same local network as your computer.
2. Start the Terminal utility, which is usually located in your
Applications folder under Utilities.
3. Type nmblookup STORAGE. This is the default name of
your network drive, so if that has previously been changed
and you don’t know the correct name, reset the device first.
The complete command looks like this:
nmblookup STORAGE
4. After entering the previous command and hitting the Enter
key, it should return an IP address, followed by the name
you just entered.
If you have more than one device connected at the same time,
type “nmblookup STORAGE-xxxx, whereas the xxxx stands for
the last four digits of your Mac address as seen on the bottom
of your device (example STORAGE-2343).
