2.1.3 Local or remote login via web browser
The network drive can be accessed via web browser from the local network or remotely.
1. Open your web browser (e.g. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome).
2. Go to http://www.myakitio.com .
3. Your default home server name is the MAC address of your network drive. You can find this
number on a sticker either on the retail packaging or the device itself.
4. Select your language (1), enter the name of your home server (2) and click search (3).
5. Login to your account. The default user name and password for the administrator is admin. For
security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the password after the first login.
Note
To make it easier to remember the name of your home server, login using the web interface and
go to the Registration menu. There you can register the device under a new name.
Login via web portal works no matter where you are, as long as you have a web browser and an
internet connection. No additional set up for your network switch or router is required.
2.1.4 Local login using the finder (internet access is not required)
The finder tool can be used to locate and access the network drive on your local network. To download
the finder program and for more details, go to http://wiki.myakitio.com/login .
1. Make sure that the network drive is connected to the same local network as your computer and
that the power is turned on.
2. Wait at least 15 seconds after turning on the device and then start the finder. It will
automatically search for the device but if it does not find it at first, then click Rescan to start the
search again and make sure the program is not being blocked by the firewall.
3. Once the device has been located, select it from the list and double-click on it to open the login
page in your web browser. By default, the user name and password is admin. For security
reasons, we strongly recommend changing the password after the first login.
