10. Mapping Network Drives

Below are directions to map the shared folders on your NexStar FX Gigabit NAS Adapter as 

Network Drives on your computer system (Showing NAS disk drive in network).

1. Press the “Start” button on Windows desktop.

2. Open up “Computer” and navigate to “Network.”

3. Search through the list of devices connected to your network for the NexStar FX.

4. Double click to enter the NexStar FX (Eg. NST-610NU-N1).

5. You may be asked for authentication. Please enter the User login and Password you have 

created under SMB.

6. Choose the folder you wish to map.

7. Right-click the mouse button and select “Map Network Drive”.

8. You can designate the drive path for the respective folder.

Note:

 For faster connection and usability, we recommend that you map folders which you 

use constantly as network drives. This creates a direct access to the shared folders on the 

NAS from My Computer.
