From the Login window, enter the user name "admin" and then enter your
administrator password.
Click OK.
Windows users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which
they have privileges on the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB.
To access the NSS storage using CIFS/SMB:
Choose one of these options to access the NSS.
•
From the My Computer window, type \\<hostname> or \\<IP address> in
the Address bar. (Where the <hostname> refers to your NSS hostname and
<IP address> refers to your NSS IP address. For example,
"\\NAS0123456789ab or \\192. 1 68. 1 .2".)
•
Browse for the NSS from the My Network Places window.
•
Map the NSS to a network drive.
The Login window appears.
If your user profile is set up locally (that is, through the NSS configuration interface)
and the NSS is part of a Windows domain, in the User name field, enter the
following: <NSS hostname>\<username>. If your user profile is set up through the
domain or the NSS is not joined to a domain, you do not need to enter the NSS
hostname before your user name. (Just enter your user name and then your
password.)
Click OK.
The Windows Explorer window opens with a directory listing of the available
shares.
Depending on your share privileges, you can begin using the NSS storage.
