At this time the hardware installation of your LevelOne NAS is complete. Please proceed to
“Set-up before First Operation”.
Set-up before First Operation
The factory default settings of your LevelOne NAS will search the network via DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically detect IP address settings. If your
network does not support the DHCP protocol, the LevelOne NAS will use the default
settings listed below:
IP Address 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Once the LevelOne NAS completes its boot-up process, the LCD panel displays the current
IP address settings.
If your network does not support the DHCP protocol, you must configure your LevelOne
NAS to the proper LAN settings before using it for the first time. (If you do not know your
LAN settings, please contact your network administrator).
1. Use the LCD panel to change the network settings. For more information, see
Appendix A.
2. Use the Quick Install Wizard on the disk or the CD-ROM to change the network
settings. For more information, see Appendix C.
Once you complete the LevelOne NAS settings, you can use your web browser to perform
further administrative settings.
