Web-Based Administration Tool; Administration Login - Verbatim NAS HARD DRIVE User Manual

Though you are now ready to begin storing data on your drive, at this point you have only the
two default user accounts set up. To set up other user accounts, and to confi gure other basic
system settings, you should continue setup using the web-based administration tool described
in the next section.

Web-Based Administration Tool

The web-based administration tool is used to modify all internal settings of your NAS drive. It is
accessed using your computer's web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Safari or Netscape). To
access the administration tool, your PC or Mac should be on the same subnet as the NAS drive.

Administration Login

In most cases you need only to enter the default hostname (i.e., "//verbatimnas" for Windows, or
"//verbatimnas.local" for Bonjour) in your browser's address window to access the administration
tool. If for some reason the default hostname was not assigned to the NAS drive's IP address
during auto-confi guration, then you can alternatively enter the NAS drive's IP address into the
browser's address window.
As described previously, your router or other network equipment will have assigned the IP
address automatically, or the drive will have taken one of its default addresses (either a Bonjour
address 169.254.x.x or the non-Bonjour address 192.168.1.1). If your router assigns addresses
automatically, your router's manual will describe how to determine your drive's IP address.
Alternatively, you can fi nd your drive's IP address using the included Finder.exe utility as
described above.
After your browser retrieves the initial web page from the NAS drive, the browser window will
present the following login screen:
