Page 16: Maintain
Manual IB-NAS5520 For file access via WebDAV, set up a redirect for TCP traffic from WAN port 8080 to LAN port 80. Because you have to redirect the network traffic to a certain IP address (the internal IP of your NAS), it's best if you set a fixed IP address for your NAS. Otherwise, it might change the next time you restart your router or your NAS and the port forwarding will not work anymore. Port Numbers By default, the administration port is set to 8000 and the WebDAV port is set to 8080. If you have more than one network drive installed in the same local network or if you run into conflicts with other network devices, change the port number to a different number and click Apply to save the settings. Remember to change the port forwarding if you make any changes to the port numbers here. For Windows XP users to mount the network drive, the port number for WebDAV has to be set to port 80. Make sure to set up port forwarding accordingly. 5.3 M AINTAIN 5.3.1 Disk Sleep Time To save energy and keep the drive cool, we recommend setting the sleep time. Select a time from the list between 10 to 60 minutes. When the drive is idle for longer than the set time, it will automatically go into stand‐by mode and spin down. If you need immediate access to the drive, set it to “Disable” and the drive will keep spinning at all times. Format Disk Use this tool to format your hard drive and prepare it for the network drive. When you format the hard drive using this disk utility, it will create a single partition using the exFAT file system. If you create other partitions or choose a different file system when connected through USB, keep in mind that the network drive is only able to recognize the first partition and it has to be exFAT! In order to access the exFAT partition when the device is connected via USB, Windows XP requires Service Pack 2 or later and Windows Vista requires Service Pack 1 or later. exFAT driver update for Windows XP and Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955704 exFAT driver update for Windows Vista is part of SP1 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935791 Formatting the drive will erase all data and settings, as well as deleting the SMB folders and FTPaccounts! 5.3.2 Firmware Here you can update the firmware for your network drive. ... -

Manual IB-NAS5520 6.2.2 S ERVER 6.2.2.1 WebDAV Server The WebDAV server section displays the current port number and IP address of your WebDAV server. When you access the network drive from the local network, use the “Internal URL”. When accessing the network drive remotely, meaning not in the same local network as the device is connected to, use the “External URL”. The “Folder” icon on the landing page is a shortcut to open the WebDAV connection, so you don't have to login to “Settings” just to find out the correct URL. On Windows, when mounting the network drive via WebDAV, the file size for a single file is limited to 50MB! This is a limitation of the Operating System and not the network drive. Use the web browser to download the files instead or see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900900 for more information about how to modify the registry on your Windows machine. 6.2.2.2 FTP Server The standard port for the FTP service is 21. If required, you can change it and use any port number from 1025‐65500, however generally, we recommend using the default port 21. When you change the port number for the FTP server, remember to adjust your firewall, otherwise, the FTP access will likely be blocked. By default, the encoding is set to English. If you want to store or transfer files with a different encoding (different language), choose the corresponding language from the drop down menu list. Click Apply to confirm the selection and change the language setting. If you are unclear about which encoding to select, click help for further details.

From the drop‐down list of the corresponding list, select the folder where your media files (e.g. photos, music, videos) are stored. Repeat the previous step for each media type (photo, music, video). Depending on the video game console, only certain media files can be accessed. For the Xbox 360, you can play JPG, MP3 and WMV files. For the PlayStation 3, you can play JPG, MP3, MPEG‐1 andMPEG‐2 files. iTunes will only be able to play MP3 music files. 6.2.2.4 iTunes Playlist Whenever you add or remove MP3 files to the music directory, click Build to refresh the database. If for some reasons, iTunes lists files that no longer exist or some files are missing, click Remove to clear the database and then click Build to build a new database. 6.2.2.5 BT Download Here you can manage your torrents. Before you add the first torrent, set the download path to your preferred folder. Also, you might want to click Settings and set the server port plus a limit for the upload and download speed according to your network’s bandwidth. After changing the settings, click Apply to save the new configuration. To be notified when a torrent is stopped or removed, you can set up e‐mail notification. Click Settings, scroll down to “BT Mail Notifications”, check Enable and fill out the configuration for your e‐mail. To find out the correct settings for the mail server, ask your system administrator or your e‐mail provider. After changing the settings, clickApply to save the new configuration. To download media files, download a torrent from the internet and upload the *.torrent file to the network drive. Once the torrent has been added, you can start the download. The downloaded media files will be stored in the folder that is set as “Download Path”. The BitTorrent™ client can download 4 files at a time with a maximum of 40 files in the queue. The download speed may not be as fast as a BitTorrent™ client on the computer but once the torrent has been added to the queue, it can download the files by itself and you can turn off the computer. ...

Manual IB-NAS5520 7. E XTRA EATURES AND XAMPLES 7.1 F CCESS 7.1.1 F OLDER Folder opens the available directories on the network drive via WebDAV connection. You can access, view and download your files directly in your web browser. Default Login Username guest Password “blank” (no password required) Open your web browser, connect to the network drive and click the first icon Folder on the landing page. Login either with the guest account or your own if you have set up another user account already. All available directories and files are displayed in list view directly in your web browser. The Preview mode will show large icons and in case of images (JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF), it will display a small preview of the actual image. Preview only works for images with the following file extension: *.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.tif Instead of using the “Folder” link on the home page, you can also go to “Share Management” in the “Server Settings” menu. Select the “Server” tab and there you can copy either the internal or the external URL, depending on where your computer is currently located, and paste it directly into the URLfield of your web browser. If you would like to upload, delete and manage the files via WebDAV connection, mount the network drive. Mounting the network drive is done similarly to how you would do it for a SMB connection. The main difference is that for SMB, both the network drive and the computer have to be on the same local network, whereas for WebDAV it also works when done remotely (loading and transfer speed are usually slower when done outside the local network). For more details, see Mapping a Network Drive on a PC or see WebDAV on a Mac. ... - Page 22 Manual IB-NAS5520 7.1.2.1 Windows Explorer Use Windows Explorer and enter \\IP, where IP stands for the IP address or type \\MAC, where MAC stands for the MAC address (all in one word) into the address field and click Enter. It will list all available folders on your network drive. To create a permanent link to your network drive, see “Mapping a Network Drive”. You can copy files to the network drive as if it were a folder on your local drive. Depending on the bandwidth, you can also open and play the files directly. If you experience lag when accessing certain files, we recommend transferring the data to your local drive first. When you have to access multiple folders with different passwords or have modified the settings without a computer restart, go to “Tools” and disconnect the temporary network drive first, before accessing a new folder. 7.1.2.2 Mapping a Network Drive Mapping the network drive will allow you to create a permanent link that will be present even after restarting the computer. This permanent link provides convenient access to your network drive and can be used to store file within other applications. If you experience problems when trying to access the shared folders, disconnect all network drives, reboot your computer, restart your network drive and then try again. Double click on My Computer, go to the Tools menu and select “Map Network Drive…”. Follow the setup wizard and fill in the path to your network drive. For SMB, when entering the IP address, also add the shared folder name (e.g.\\192.168.11.11\public). For WebDAV, copy the internal or external URL and enter that URL (e.g. http://59.124.25.118:1200/webdav/). We recommend selecting the “reconnect at logon” option when you map the network drive, otherwise you will have to map it again after a restart. Once the drive has been mapped, you are able to find and access it under My Computer. When mounting the drive on Windows XP, the system does not accept a custom port number for WebDAV. Instead, the port number 80 is used by default. Enter the URL without port number (e.g.http://59.124.25.118/webdav/) and when accessing it remotely from outside the LAN, make sure the external port is set to port 80 (see Portal Service in Network menu) and set up port forwarding accordingly. On Windows, by default, the file size for a single file when transferred via WebDAV is limited to 50MB! This is a limitation of the Operating System and not the network drive. Please seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/900900 for more information. ...

Once the torrent has been added to the download queue, the computer can be turned off and the network drive downloads the files on its own. Starting a Download Before you add the first torrent, set the download path to your preferred folder, set the server port and set a limit for the upload and download speed according to your network’s bandwidth. After changing the settings, save the new configuration. Use a search engine (e.g. Google) and browse the internet for the media files you would like to download. Download and store the torrent file(s) on your computer. Login to your network drive and go to the BitTorrent menu. Click Browse and locate your torrent file on the computer. The file is added to the download queue and the download starts automatically. You can now turn off your computer if desired. Use the buttons “Continue”, “Pause”, “Stop” and “Delete” to manage the files. Once the download process starts, further information about the selected file will be available at the bottom of the window under “General” and “Detail”. Once the download is completed, you can delete the file from the download queue and access the file via SMB, WebDAV or FTP connection in the directory that you have previously set under “Download Path”. The BitTorrent™ client can download 4 files at a time with a maximum of 40 files in the queue. The download speed of the built‐in BitTorrent™ client may not be as fast as a client on the computer, but once the Torrent has been added to the queue, it can download the files by itself and the computer can be turned off. ... -
