Introduction
The NAS Server
Congratulations on the purchase of an NAS Server, the PLANET NAS-7100. The NAS inserts
Gigabytes of storage space into your network without the cost, space, and maintenance
hassles of a full-fl edged file server. The NAS provides solid data transfer performance for
multiple client connections. And you can add as many NAS Servers to your network as you
like. Compared to using a standard PC as a File Server, the NAS offers lower cost, easier
management, and increased reliability.
Windows utility software is provided for the NAS Administrator. Also, the Web-based
Administration interface offers a wide array of management options.
Web-based file system
WEB-based file sharing allows access and downloading of files from any PC on the network,
including non-Windows PCs.

drive letters on their PC.
