6. CONFIGURING THE SE-NAS-05
SE-NAS-05 features a w eb-based contr ol int erfac e to manag e y our s etting s. To c onfig ure the S E-NAS- 05, co nnect it t o the netw or k
router/switch in your network, or connect to a client PC through the LAN port. Section 6.1 ~ 6.2 describe the procedure of remote
configuration from different kinds of client PC.
The LAN port on SE-NAS-05 is
Auto-MDI/MDIX, which means you can
connect it using either a crossover or a
direct network cable.
Either the USB port or the LAN port of
SE-NAS-05 can be used at any one
time. If you changed the connection
from USB to LAN, or vice versa, please
power off and then power on the
SE-NAS-05, otherwise abnormal
operation may occur.
When you reset the SE-NAS-05 either by the reset button or through the web control, all user settings will be
erased and replaced with factory default values. The most important default values useful for first-time
configuration are shown below:
z Default administrator user name = admin
z Default administrator password = admin
z Default IP address: 169.254.0.1
Default host name = storage-XXXX (where XXXX is the last four digits of the MAC address of SE-NAS-05,
printed on the back panel).
How to restore factory setting: Power off the SE-NAS-05 Æ press and hold the reset button Æ Power on the
SE-NAS-05 and then wait for at least 10 seconds Æ Release the reset button.
11
Configuring the SE-NAS-05 using a Windows client
Open your web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, enter
http://storage-XXXX in the URL address field followed by [Enter] key, where
XXXX are the last four digits of the MAC address printed on the SE-NAS-05
back panel.
For example, if your SE-NAS-05’s MAC Address is 00-14-3F-AA-08-D5, you will need to enter “http://storage-08d5”
in the URL address bar.
If you changed the SE-NAS-05 host name, you will need to replace the word “storage-XXXX” with it. For example, if
you changed your host name to “FileServer”, please type “http://fileserver” instead. Host name is not case sensitive.
You can also enter the IP address of SE-NAS-05, for example, http://169.254.0.1
Go to Section 6.3 to continue the configuration.
Configuring the SE-NAS-05 using a Mac OS/X
client
Step 1:
If you know the IP address of SE-NAS-05, go to Step 5 to continue the
configuration.
Under Finder, select Go >> Utilities, or use hot-key [Command + U]
The following screen shots are taken from a Mac-Mini running OS X and may
vary slightly from your computer screen.
Step 2:
A Utilities window will appear. Click on the “Terminal” application.
Please make sure that the IP address of your PC is compatible with
NAS-05’s IP address. This means it needs to be in the same
address range (e.g. 169.254.0.2 to 169.254.0.254) and using the same
Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0).
12
Step 3:
In the Terminal window, ent er “smbutil lookup stor age-XXXX ” followed by
[Enter] key, where XXXX are the last four digits of the MAC address
printed on the SE-NAS-05 back panel.
• For example, if your SE-NAS-05’s MAC Address is 00-14-3F-AA-08-D5, you will need to enter “smbutil lookup
storage-08d5” in the Terminal window.
• If you changed the SE-NAS-05 host name, you will need to replace the word “storage” with it. For example, if
you changed your host name to “FileServer”, please type “smbutil lookup fileserver” instead. Host name is not
case sensitive.
Step 4:
The IP address of SE-NAS-05 will be resolved and displayed in the
Terminal window.
The screen shot shows an example of the IP address “192.168.5.181”
Step 5:
Open your web browser, such as Safari. In the URL address field enter the
IP address obtained in Step 4. For example: http://192.168.5.181 followed
by [Enter] key.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
10.1 The SE-NAS-05 cannot be detected on my network.
z Check that the SE-NAS-05 properly installed, that the LAN connections are secure, and that the SE-NAS-05 is
powered ON.
z If you are using a router, make sure that your PC and the SE-NAS-05 are on the same network segment.
z Make sure that your PC has the TCP/IP network protocol installed.
10.2 The SE-NAS-05 is configured, but I can’t find it in Network Neighborhood.
z Go to the Find function in the Start menu. Choose Computer, then enter the SE-NAS-05’s host name. In Windows
2000, go to Files and Folders and use the "Search for a Computer" option.
z If this doesn’t work, choose the Network option of the Control Panel to check that a TCP/IP protocol is installed. If it
isn’t installed, use Add - Protocol - Mi crosoft - TCP/IP to inst all it. In Wind ows 2000, click In stall, not Add. I n Window s
NT, click the Protocols tab, then Add.
z Check the network bindings. First, make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is bound to your network card (NIC). Then,
select your network card in the Control Panel, click Properties, and choose the Bindings tab. If TCP/IP is not bound
(checked), check it.
z Make sure that the TCP/IP -> network card entry is bound to the Client for Microsoft Networks service. Select the
TCP/IP entry for your network Card, click Properties, and then choose the Bindings tab. If Client for Microsoft
Networks is not bound (checked), check it.
z If you don’t have a router, make sure that your IP Address is compatible with the SE-NAS-05’s IP Address. This
means it needs to be in the same address range (e.g. 169.254.0.2 to 169.254.0.254) and using the same Subnet
Mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
z If you do have a router, check that your Gateway IP Address is set correctly. Ask your LAN administrator for the
correct value.
z If you have changed the host name of the SE-NAS-05, change it back to the default name.
10.3 When I click the SE-NAS-05 icon in Network Neighborhood, I’m prompted for a
password.
This can happen in the following situations:
z Your Windows Logon name is recognized by the SE-NAS-05, but your Logon password is not. Simply enter your
password, or make your Windows password the same as the SE-NAS-05’s password.
z Your Windows Logon na me is not recogniz ed by th e SE-NAS- 05, de faulting y ou to g uest access ri ghts. If y ou are not
the Network Administrator, ask your Ad ministrator to cr eate a user nam e for you. (Use the s ame name as y our Logon
name.)
z You do not have access permissi on for thi s share. I f you are no t the Netw ork Admini strator, ask your Admi nistrator to
grant you access.
