Customizing Network Settings; Configuring Your Lan/Ip Address - Seagate Business Storage 1-Bay NAS Administrator's Manual

Customizing Your Seagate® NAS
When you enable your Seagate NAS as a media server, files are automatically downloaded
into specific folders. You need to create those folders on your NAS before you enable the
service.
Access the Public shared folder on your Seagate NAS, and create the following folders:
• Our Music
• Our Pictures
• Our Videos
In the NAS Manager, go to Media > Media Service. Click Enable.

Customizing Network Settings

You can customize these network settings in your Seagate NAS.
• LAN/IP Address
• Network Mode
• Enable DSN Server
• Specify MTU Size
• IP Filters
• Web Services
• Workgroup
• Dynamic DSN
• Printer Manager

Configuring Your LAN/IP Address

Select a LAN port to use when connecting to your network: LAN 1, LAN 2 or Aggregation.
Note: Seagate 1-Bay NAS has one LAN configuration only.
Aggregation allows you to connect to the network using both LAN ports simultaneously:
• Round Robin LAN: Load balance your LANs.
• Fail Over LAN: One LAN network takes over if the other one fails.
Setting a Network Mode
By default, your Seagate NAS's network mode is set to use Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). By selecting DHCP, the DHCP server assigns IP addresses to your NAS
automatically. Unless you are part of a large corporation with an IT department, Seagate
highly recommends using the DHCP network mode.
