Choosing Automatic will configure the NAS unit as a DHCP client and the
configuration wizard will skip to the end. Choosing Manual configuration will
proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 configures the NAS unit's static IP address and subnet mask. To choose a
working static IP address, make sure you meet these criteria:
1. The subnet mask must match the rest of the network exactly.
2. The IP address must match the router's IP address exactly where the subnet
mask is "255."
3. The IP address cannot end in 0 or 255.
4. The IP address must not match any other system on the network.
5. The IP address should not be within the DHCP server's client pool.
The next step is to configure network connections. The gateway is usually the
internal IP address for the router the NAS unit is connected to. DNS entries are
usually the same as used by the router's external network configuration
(determined by your ISP). Setting an NTP server will synchronize the NAS unit to
a time server, usually on the Internet. This can be a name or IP address. Use the
keywords “free NTP servers” on your preferred search engine if you wish to
configure this feature and don't know of a server you can use.
