Installation WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
The LEDs on the front of the enclosure will light up and begin flashing orange during initialization. Once the Power LED lights up solid green, the unit will be ready. NOTE: The default wireless network name (SSID) is “S2510U2WF”, with an IP address of 192.168.2.1. Automatic IP (DHCP) is also enabled. Instruction Manual...
Client Mode Setup Computer In this mode, the WiFi Enclosure will act as a wireless adapter for a host computer system through a standard Ethernet port. This will allow the host computer to wirelessly connect to an existing wireless AP, while being able to access the resources of the WiFi Enclosure.
Driver Installation No drivers are required to be installed to access the date on the WiFi Enclosure through USB mode. An optional client software for Windows operating systems is available to make locating and configuring the enclosure simple (AP and Client Scan settings only), for those whom do not wish to use the web interface.
How to Use Once the hardware has been setup, changes to the network configuration may be necessary. These changes can be made either through the built-in web interface, or the Client software (Windows only). Web Interface A built-in web server offers a convenient interface for accessing the hard drive contents, as well as network configuration and the built-in Bit Torrent client and general maintenance and setup options of the WiFi Enclosure.
