Follow the instructions in the setup wizard to install NAS Finder. It will create shortcuts on

Desktop and in the Programs folder of the Start me.

Discovering NAS system

When started, NAS Finder automatically discovers all the NAS systems on the network and

displays a list of servers under the node Local Server. NAS Finder will automatically refresh

the server list at a specified interval. The default interval is 10 minutes.

NAS Finder can also locate NAS servers by IP addresses. It is useful when NAS servers are

on the Internet or located in different network segments from the NAS Finder. To locate NAS

servers by IP addresses, select “Remote NAS List” from the “File” menu. Click the “Add” button

and enter the IP address of the NAS server.

To set the automatic refresh interval

1. Go to “Tool → NAS Finder Options” menu.

2. Enter a number between 1 to 60 minutes.

3. Click “OK”.
