Chapter 2 - System Setup

Installation

Before the device can be accessed via the local network, it has to be connected and turned on.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable

from your network router or switch to the BT

Downloader.

2. Prepare at least one USB drive and connect it to one of the USB ports on the BT Download.

3. When everything is connected, turn

both the USB drive and

the BT Downloader

on.

4. During boot up, the LAN LED will go ON as the network connection is detected.

5. The system LED will blink and go steady as soon as the system has finished booting, confirmed by a short beep sound.

6. Once the system is ready, it will detect the USB drive and the USB LED will light up green.

7. Done, your device is now ready for access and further setup.

Note: If the BT Downloader is turned on

but can not acquire an IP address, it will warn the user with a beep sound. To turn off the warning signal, make sure the Ethernet cable is connected properly and the BT Downloader has access to the local network to acquire the IP address.

USB Eject Procedure

To remove a USB drive, use the eject button located next to each of the USB ports.

1. Press the corresponding eject button and release it again.

2. The system will confirm that the eject button has been pressed with a short beep sound.

3. Once the drive is ready to be removed, the system will confirm it with another two short beep sounds.

4. You can now turn off the USB drive and remove the USB cable.

Shut Down Procedure

To turn off the BT Downloader, stop

all current downloads, then turn off the power using the ON/OFF switch. Once the system has shut down,remember also turning off the power to your USB drives.

USB File System

To use the file and user management as well as the BitTorrent™ function, we strongly recommend formatting one drive using the XFS file system. Other drives connected to the BT Download can either use FAT

32, allowing both read

and write access, or NTFS which only allows read access. For optimum performance and functionality, we recommend using XFS.

How to login

To configure your BT Downloader , you will need to use the web browser, enter the IP address and then use the web configuration for further setup. To find out the ip address of your device once it is connected to the network,there are several different ways as described on the following pages.

Use the NetTool utility included on the CD. This will list the device automatically and allow you to access the web configuration interface with a simple click of your mouse. You may also use the same utility at a later point to map the network drive after you setup your shares.

1. Turn on your BT Downloader and make sure it is connected to the same network as your computer.

2. Start the NetTool utility by double clicking on the EXE file.

3. Your BT Downloader

will automatically show up in the device list but if not,make sure the NetTool has access to the network.You might have to configure your firewall or even temporarily turn it off.

4. Click on your device and it will list all the details.

5. Previously greyed out commands will now be available and you can click on “Access via web”.

Note: Alternatively, you could use the Setup Wizard to configure the basic settings and view the IP address. Open your web browser and then manually input the IP address to access the web configuration interface.

Page 5 / Chapter 2 - System Setup

BT Downloader User Guide

First, you will have to find out the IP address of your BT Downloader and then use the web browser to access the web configuration interface.

1. Turn on your BT Downloader and make sure it is connected to the same network as your computer.

2. Start the Terminal utility, which is usually located in your Applications folder under Utilities.

3. Type nmblookup NSD***, where the star marks represent the last 6 digits of your Mac address. This number can be found on a sticker either on the outside of your device or on the bridge board itself.

The command would therefore look something like this: nmblookup NSDDDEE03

4. After entering the previous command and hitting the Enter key, it should return an IP address, followed by the name you just entered.

5. Open your web browser and enter the IP address from the previous step to access the web configuration interface.

Peer to Peer

If you connect the BT Downloader directly to your computer via Ethernet cable,you can access it using its default IP

192.168.16.1. Open the web browser and enter 192.186.16.1

to access the web configuration interface.
