• For initial installation, the Windows-based Setup Wizard will check if the USB HDD has been format-
ted, and will offer to format the HDD if it is not yet formatted. The format operation will destroy any
existing data on the disk.
• If a new USB HDD is connected at a later date, you can use the Web-based UI to format the new HDD.
This option is on the Disk screen, accessed via the Administration menu.
Note: Hard Disk Drives used on the InterNAS/USB are NOT compatible with any version of Windows.
You cannot swap USB HDDs between Windows and the InterNAS/USB.
Page 12
Configuring Your interNAS/USB
Now that everything is connected and powered on, you are ready to configure your interNAS/USB so that
it is accessible to the users on your network.
• This procedure only needs to be done ONCE, by the interNAS/USB Server's Administrator.
• Other LAN users should follow the Client PC Setup procedure described in the following chapter.
Quick Setup with the interNAS/USB Wizard
1. Insert the interNAS/USB CD into your CD-ROM drive of your computer.
2. If the installation program does not start automatically, run the program inter-
NAS/USB_SetupWizard.exe in the root (top) folder of your CD-ROM.
3. Click "Setup" to start the Setup Utility. The Utility will begin scanning your network for installed
interNAS/USBs, and a screen like the following will be displayed.
A list of all the interNAS/USBs on your network will show on the left side. The right side displays details of the currently selected interNAS/USB.
Page 13
If the desired interNAS/USB is not listed, check the following:
• The interNAS/USB has finished the start up and boot process.
• Your PC and the interNAS/USB are on the same LAN segment (there is no Router between your
PC and the interNAS/USB).
Otherwise, select the desired interNAS/USB, and click the "Next" button.
4. The following screen will then be displayed.
Obtain an IP address
automatically
(DHCP Client)
Select this only if your LAN has a DHCP Server. Normally, it is
better for servers to use a Fixed IP address (see below_
Page 14
Fixed IP Address
This option is recommended. If this option is used, the IP address or
the interNAS/USB will never change. You need to enter the following data.
• IP address - The utility will suggest a unused IP address within
the address range used on your LAN. If you wish, you can
change this, but you must ensure the address is unused.
• Network Mask - This must match the value used by PCs on
your LAN.
• Gateway - This must match the value used by PCs on your
LAN.
5. Click "Next" to continue. The following screen will then be displayed:
The following data is required.
Server Name:
The Default Name is shown. Change this if you wish.
Page 15
Workgroup
Name:
Normally, this name should match the Workgroup name used by PCs on your
LAN.
Time Zone
Select your time zone from the list.
Local Date/Time
Enter the local date (mm/dd/yyyy format) and time.
6. Click "Next" to continue. The following screen is displayed.
7. Click "Save" to save your data to the interNAS/USB.
On the resulting screen, click "Exit" to close the Setup Utility.
The interNAS/USB is now operational.
Other Configuration
After the configuration above, all Windows users can access the interNAS/USB with "guest" access rights.
This allows access to the public shares (by default, DISK and FLASH).
However, we recommend creating an interNAS/USB "User" for each person on your LAN. This will
provide each person on your LAN with their own login (name and password) as well as their own personal
folder on the interNAS/USB.

languages are used, select the most common.
Time Zone
Select the correct time zone for your location.
Local Date
Enter the local date. The interNAS/USB Server will set it own
calendar according to the date you provide.
Local Time
Enter the local time at your location. The interNAS/USB Server
will set its own clock according to the time you provide. Remember that this is not sent to the Server until you click "OK".
WINS Server
Enable WINS
Enable this if your LAN has a WINS Server.
If enabled, this device will register with the WINS Server. This
will allow users on the LAN to locate this device through a
Router. (Without WINS, "Network Neighborhood" or "My
Network Places" only scans the local LAN segment.)
WINS Server
If WINS is enabled, enter the IP Address of your WINS Server.
Normally, this will be a Windows NT/2000/XP Server.

Options
Enable Guest
Logins
If enabled, then the user can use "guest" as user ID to login to the
interNAS/USB. If disabled, then "guest" will not be accepted as a
login.
Convert failed
logins to "guest"
logins
If enabled, then all Windows users will be able to access the
interNAS/USB via Network Neighborhood/My Network Places,
with "guest" access rights. By default, the "guest" user has
Read/Write permission to the "Disk" folder on the USB HDD,
and all folders on the Flash Drive.
Enable UPnP
Support
If enabled, the interNAS/USB will broadcast its availability. On
systems which support UPnP (e.g. Windows ME, XP), an icon
for the interNAS/USB will be automatically generated.
Port Number..
This port number is used for HTTP (Web Browser) connections
to this Server. The default is 80, as used by Web Servers. If this
is changed, you should use a number greater than 1024 (8080 is
often used). Also, if the port is not 80, you must specify the port
in your Web browser, in order to connect. To do this, add a ":"
and the port number after the address: e.g.
HTTP://192.168.0.100:8080
This example assumes the interNAS/USB IP Address is
192.168.0.100, and the port number is 8080.

Shares Screen
This screen allows you to manage the Shares which exist on the interNAS/USB Server. A "Share" is a
folder (directory) on the interNAS/USB Server which a User Group can access.
• Only the interNAS/USB Server Administrators can create Shares. However, within a Share, users who
have access to that Share can create other folders (directories) as well as files.
• A Share can be accessed by many User Groups, and a User Group can access many Shares.
• If you have a Share within a Share, then all users with access to the outer share will ALWAYS have
the same access rights to the inner share.

interNAS/USB via the Internet
Overview
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the interNAS/USB available via the Internet. Features available to Internet users
include:
• Using a Web browser to view and download files.
• Remote management
Making the interNAS/USB available via the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet via a Router or Gateway, you can make the interNAS/USB
available from the Internet.
No changes to the interNAS/USB configuration are required, unless you wish to use a port number
other than the default value of 80 for Web connections.
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming HTTP connections (and optionally, IPP
connections) to the interNAS/USB. This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers,
and is illustrated below.
Page 60
Figure 37: Connecting via the Internet
• The default port number for Web browser connections is 80. If you prefer to use a different port
number, you can specify the port number on the interNAS/USB System screen. The "Web" entry for
/Port Forwarding / Virtual Server must then use the port number specified on the interNAS/USB Sys-
tem screen.
• To connect to the interNAS/USB, Internet users need to know and use the Internet IP address of your
Page 61
Router/Gateway. (If the port number is not 80, they also need to know the port number.)
• If you have a domain name, users can connect using the domain name instead of the IP address.
If your Router/Gateway supports Dynamic DNS, you can use a domain name even if you get a different IP address every time you connect to your ISP. Check the documentation of your Router/Gateway
for further information.
Using your Web Browser from the Internet
This is identical to using your Web browser from the LAN. See Using the Web File Sharing for details.
But remember:
• You must use the Internet IP address to connect to the interNAS/USB, NOT the LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the interNAS/USB has been changed from the default (80), you must
specify the correct port number when you connect.
For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the following as
your browser's Address or Location:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:8080
Page 62
Remote Management
Connection via your Web browser from the Internet is the same as connecting via the LAN.
But remember:
• You must use the Internet IP address to connect to the interNAS/USB, NOT the LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the interNAS/USB has been changed from the default (80), you must
specify the correct port number when you connect.
For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the following as
your browser's Address or Location:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:8080
Once connected to the interNAS/USB via the Internet, all the Web-based management features are available.
However, the "Browse" button on the Shares screen only allows Web-based file browsing. (If using
Internet Explorer on Windows, LAN users can Browse shares using Windows Explorer.)
Page 63
Troubleshooting
This chapter lists some common problems, and the solution to them.
Problem 1:
The interNAS/USB Utility doesn't list any interNAS/USB Servers.
Solution 1:
Check the following:
• The interNAS/USB is installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON
and startup is complete.
• Ensure that your PC and the interNAS/USB are on the same network segment. (If
you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
• Ensure that your PC has the TCP/IP network protocol loaded. In Windows, this is
done by using Control Panel-Network. If an entry for TCP/IP -> Network card is
not listed, use Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP to add it.
You then need to select the new entry (TCP/IP -> Network card), click Properties,
and configure the IP Address tab.
• If your LAN has a DHCP Server, you can select "Obtain an IP Address automatically".
• Otherwise, you must select "Specify an IP Address", and enter values for IP
Address and Subnet Mask. The IP Address range commonly used is
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. (The interNAS/USB Server's default IP Address is 192.168.0.2, with a Subnet Mask
of 255.255.255.0). Remember that each device needs a unique IP Address,
and the same Subnet Mask.
Problem 2:
The interNAS/USB is configured, but I can't find it in Network Neighborhood.
Solution 2
Try using Start - Find - Computer, and enter the interNAS/USB Server's name. If this
does not work, use Control Panel - Network to check the following:
Page 64
• TCP/IP protocol is installed. If not, use Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP to
install it.
• Check the network Bindings:
• Ensure the TCP/IP protocol is bound to your Network card (NIC).
Select your Network card, click Properties, and then the Bindings tab. If
TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.
• Ensure the TCP/IP -> Network card entry is bound to the Client for Micro-
soft Networks service.
Select the TCP/IP entry for your Network Card, click Properties, and then the
Bindings tab. If Client for Microsoft Networks is not bound (checked), check
it.
• If you don't have a router, check that your IP Address is compatible with the
interNAS/USB Server's. This means it needs to be from the same address range
(e.g. 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254) and using the same Subnet Mask (e.g.
255.255.255.0)
• If you DO have a router, check that your Gateway IP Address is set correctly. Ask
your LAN administrator for the correct value.
Problem 3
When I click on an interNAS/USB folder icon in Network Neighborhood, I get
prompted for a password.
Solution 3
This can happen in the following situations:
• The Logon name you used on your PC is recognized by the interNAS/USB, but
the password is not. Simply enter your interNAS/USB password, or make your
Windows password the same as the interNAS/USB password.
• The logon name you used on your PC is NOT recognized by the interNAS/USB,
and was converted to guest, with guest access rights. Ask the interNAS/USB Administrator to create a user name for you. (Use the same name as on your PC.)
Page 65
• You do NOT have access permission for this share.
Ask the interNAS/USB Administrator to grant you access.
Note: Windows uses the Computer name, as shown on Control Panel - Network -
Identification, as the default Logon Name. But you can create a new Windows logon
name by merely entering a new name and password at the Logon prompt.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is
not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other
Page 70
Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You
can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask
you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is
no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will
not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making th e program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use
or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
Page 71
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of
any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer
warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on
the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above,
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the
date of any change.
Page 72
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived
from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you
provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally
print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program,
the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the
intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to wo rk written entirely by you; rather, the intent
is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work
based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distrib-
uted under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no
more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
Page 73
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an
executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in
full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants
you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited
by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any
work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automati-
cally receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason
(not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For
example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted
only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions
are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software
and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Page 77
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
