Automatically Mapping to Network Disk Drives
To automatically map to network disk drives:
1. Click on the FirstGear for Network Drives icon on your Windows
desktop.
The Automap Utility searches the network for network disk drives. The next
available drive letter will automatically be assigned to the Public folder of
any new NETGEAR network disk drives that have been added to your
network.
Manually Mapping to Network Disk Drives
For some network configurations, it is necessary to manually map the network
disk drive. If the Automap Utility did not locate your network disk drive, you
must map to it manually.
To manually map to network disk drives:
1. From the Start button, select Find > Computer, type the name of your
network disk drive at the prompt, and click on Find Now.
The default name of the network disk drive is NETGEARxxxxxx. The
xxxxxx of the default name is the last six digits of the 12-digit MAC address
of the network disk drive. The MAC address can be found on the bottom of
your drive or on the Please Read: MAC Address Labels card included in
your shipment.
2. Double-click on the network disk drive that you want to connect to.
3. Right-click on the Public folder of the network disk drive.
A menu opens.
4. From the menu, choose Map Network Drive.
5. In the Drive field, enter or select the drive letter you want to use for this
network disk drive.
6. Click on OK.
The network disk drive is ready for use.
If you cannot locate the network disk drive on your network, or if you prefer
to manually configure the IP address of your network disk drive, refer to
Reference Guide for the Model ND508/ND520 Network Disk Drive on your
Resource CD.
