2. Use static IP address
Use the user defined IP address settings.
• Fixed IP Address
The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to differentiate each single entity on a
network. The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated by dots:
192.168.0.1
• Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a
32-bits digit code: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.
• Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two
networks, such as LAN and WAN. If you don’t need to configure gateway address,
just set it as 0.0.0.0.
• Enable DHCP Server
Once the DHCP server’s dynamic address allocation function is activated it will
automatically assign dynamic addresses to any computer in the network that is
configured to automatically obtain IP addresses.
Note: Only one DHCP server may be activated at any time in a network to avoid
causing conflicts in communication.
• Microsoft Networking
Users using the LevelOne NAS on the Microsoft Windows operating systems must
start Microsoft Network Services.
If the local network has a WINS server installed, please specify the IP address. The
LevelOne NAS will automatically register its name and IP address with the WINS service.
Or you can enable your LevelOne NAS as the WINS server for your network.
• Apple Networking
Users using the LevelOne NAS on Apple’s Mac operating systems must enable
AppleTalk network support.
If your AppleTalk network uses extended networks, and is assigned with multiple zones,
please assign a zone name to the LevelOne NAS. If you do not want to assign a network
zone, please enter an asterisk (*). Asterisk (*) is the default setting.
• NFS Service
Users using LevelOne NAS on Unix/Linux operating system computer or server must
start Unix/Linux NFS service. The LevelOne NAS supports NFS version 2.0. To
correctly use the NFS service, you must assign a User’s UID and IP address. Please
select User Management · Users · NFS Settings to start the setup.
