7. Before you can see any PowerBay NAS array shared folders, you

m

ust ﬁ rst set up user accounts, or at a minimum must assign

r

ead/write privileges for the default folder named Volume_1.

This process is explained further below. Once this is done, you

w

ill be able to discover shared folders in network workgroup

n

amed “Workgroup”. In Windows go to My Network Places /

Entire Network / Microsoft Windows Network / Work

g

rou

p

, or in

Mac OS X navigate to Go / Network

.

To set up other user accounts, and to con

ﬁ

gure other basic system

settings, you should continue setup using the web-based administration

Once the PowerBa

y

NAS arra

y

is connected to

y

our network and has

been conﬁ

g

ured for

y

our network environment, it can be accessed

f

rom any computer within the same subnet on your LAN. Furthermore,

more advanced users may choose to con

ﬁ

gure name servers (such

as WIN servers or DNS servers) in order to access the PowerBa

y

NAS

arra

from a different subnet

Utilit

y

W

hen ﬁ rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the PowerBay

NAS array will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does

not receive a DHCP as¬signed IP address, by default it will have a self-

assigned IP address of 192.168.0.32.

If your router assigns addresses automatically, your router’s manual

w

ill describe how to view the DHCP Lease List so you can see your

drive’s assigned IP address. Alternatively, you can ﬁ nd your drive’s IP

address usin

g

the included Ma

y

that is

p

rovided on

the

p

roduct CD. If

y

ou are unfamiliar with the o

p

eration of

y

our router,

you may ﬁ nd it easier to use the Magical Finder.

1. Open the Magical Finder Utility and allow it to search

f

or the

y

.

2. After ﬁ nding the PowerBay NAS array the utility will list the

device’s IP address, MAC address and Device Name. (I

RAID 1 in a wa

y

(a) usin

two drives as mirrors

instead o

event of a single disk failure, the use of dual parity allows for time to

Once the drive has been conﬁ

red while the array is LOCKED. For convenience, several methods are

provided to UNLOCK a LOCKED array

:

1. Enter the NAS user inter

.

2. Insert a USB Ke
