The following screen will display

the progress of the NAS Drive Kit configuration.

The Setup Wizard will take different actions according to the statusof your Network settings and the NAS Drive

Kit, see the table below:

Footnote:

1. The Setup Wizard will try one more time to reach the NAS Drive Kit by changing the IP address of the NAS

Drive Kit. To do that, please click "Next" to let the Setup Wizard attempt access one more time.

2. If this attempt "fails", be sure that the LAN Cable is properly connected to the Router.

3. The NAS Drive Kit device was set to DHCP Client enable at the factory. This means that the NAS Drive Kit will

be assigned an IP address according to your Router as long as DHCP Server is set to enable on the Router.

This will allow the Setup Wizard access to the NAS Drive Kit.

4. If your Router is not set to DHCP Server enable, then the IP address for the NAS Drive Kit is 192.168.1.200

(as a default). If any other device on your network has this same IP address, then there will be a conflict on the

network and the NAS Drive Kit will not be accessible. You will need to change your device to a different IP address,

therefore allowing the Setup Wizard access to the NAS Drive Kit in your network.

5. You can change the IP address for the NAS Drive Kit to another IP

address once you have completed the Setup Wizard configuration.

6. If you change the IP address for the NAS Drive Kit, you will need

to run the Quick Setup Wizard one more time to make sure the

Shortcuts have the correct address link.

to provide access and setup to the NAS Drive Kit device.

then there is a chance another device is conflicting with

the default IP (192.168.1.200) of the NAS Drive Kit. You

will need to change the device IP address and try again.

FAQs

1. I installed a Western Digital Hard Disk, I set the jumper to Master before installation. When I run the configuration page to Format the HD, it says that there is

no Hard Disk present. Answer: This sometimes happens with some models of Western Digital Hard Disks. We suggest you remove ALL jumper connectors

from the jumper pin. This sometimes works better than having the jumper connector in the MASTER pin.

2. I have installed and followed all the instructions, but I cannot run the setup for the NAS Drive Kit.

Answer: You may need to RESET the device and then run the Quick Setup Wizard again. For the best result, make sure you wait until the NAS Drive Kit is

fully booted. When you see that the POWER LED and the LAN LED are both ON, and not blinking, then the NAS Drive Kit has completed its boot up process.

3. Is there a newer firmware available for the NAS Drive Kit? Do I need to install that?

Answer: Check the ADS Tech support page. If you see an available firmware you may need to download it and install it. Please verify first which version you

have and then compare the release date. Always use the latest firmware available. To check which version you have, go to the Configuration shortcut for

your NAS Drive Kit, click Home and see the Version of your device.

4. How do I load a newer firmware if one is available?

Answer: Download the new firmware to your Desktop, make sure that you are loading the latest version available (see FAQ #3 above). Click the

Administration tab, click Firmware Upgrade. Click Browse and then select the firmware in your Desktop. Click Apply and wait. The process takes about 2

minutes, once the firmware is loaded you will see a message. It is recommended that you Re-Start the NAS Drive Kit device and then run the Quick Setup

Wizard again.

5. I can't get the NAS Drive Kit to be detected in the Express Setup step.

Answer: Depending on some network settings, you may have some problems detecting the NAS Drive Kit device due to IP configuration or sometimes due

to the time it takes for the device to get an IP address from the Router. This may cause some glitches during Express Setup. The best thing it to be patient,

try waiting for 2 minutes and then try again. This usually allows the NAS Drive Kit to be properly detected in the network setting.

6. How to properly shut down the NAS Drive Kit?

Answer: To properly shut down the NAS Drive Kit, press and hold the Power button on the front panel for two seconds until Power LED blinks then go off.

- Check the power of the NAS Drive Kit and the Router and make sure that both are on.

- Check your PC's IP address, make sure that it has a static IP or connects with a router with DHCP Client. As for the setting, Please refer to the "IP

Protocol Setup" Chapter.

your LAN.

- The system is down. Reboot the system with Web-based UI or press the Default Button to restore the factory default setting and reboot.

8. I use the NAS Drive Kit as a Web/ FTP server, but the users that are outside the LAN can't access it.

Answer: To use NAS Drive Kit as a FTP server without fixed IP or domain name, please setup your DDNS and Port Mapping of router (IP Sharing) first. As

for the setting, please refer to the DDNS and Port mapping in your router's Manual.

- The system is down. Reboot the system with Web-based UI or press the Default Button to restore the Factory default setting and reboot.

- When the concurrently connected users are over five, the system will block other users who want to access. Please check the Samba Users / FTP Users

by clicking the "Click here for more information…" on the Web-based UI.

10. I can't access the NAS Drive Kit with the shortcuts created by Quick Setup Wizard.

Answer:

- Check FAQ 9 first.

- You may have changed the IP Address of the NAS Drive Kit, you may create new shortcuts by:

1. Key in \\( IP address of NAS Drive Kit) in URL then copy the shortcut in the URL to your desktop.

2. Key in http://( IP address of NAS Drive Kit) in URL then copy the shortcut in the URL to your desktop.

11. I have accessed the HD, but I can't get access to the folders.

Answer: Verify you have the correct username and password.

For Windows 95, 98, 98se users, please note that you should add a new user with the username of your operation system. Please get access to the

management interface. Add a new user, which use the username the same with your operation system. Get access to the HD and double click a folder.

Fill in the password to get access to the folder.

If you have accessed to any folder in the HD and would like to use another set of username/ password for different authority, please log off your operation

system and log on again.

12. There are unrecognizable characters as the file name.

Answer: If you are using the Samba mechanism (ex, My Neighborhood or the "Access my NAS Drive Kit" icon) to access the HD, please use the FTP to

view the file. Those characters that can be recognized from FTP may not be recognized via Samba and vice versa. We recommend users to place those

from FTP in the same folder. Use English characters can also prevent the problem.
