2.1.3 Local or remote login via web browser

The network drive can be accessed via web browser from the local network or remotely.

1. Open your

web browser (e.g. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome).

2. Go to

http://www.myakitio.com

.

3. Your default home server name is the

MAC address of your network drive. You can find this

number on a sticker either on the retail packaging or the device itself.

4. Select your language (1), enter the name of your home server (2) and click

search (3).

5. Login to your account. The default user name and password for the administrator is

admin. For

security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the password after the first login.

Note

To make it easier to remember the name of your home server, login using the web interface and

go to the Registration menu. There you can register the device under a new name.

Login via web portal works no matter where you are, as long as you have a web browser and an

internet connection. No additional set up for your network switch or router is required.

2.1.4 Local login using the finder (internet access is not required)

The finder tool can be used to locate and access the network drive on your local network. To download

the finder program and for more details, go to

http://wiki.myakitio.com/login

.

1. Make sure that the network drive is connected to the same local network as your computer and

that the power is turned on.

2. Wait at least 15 seconds after turning on the device and then start the finder. It will

automatically search for the device but if it does not find it at first, then click

Rescan to start the

search again and make sure the program is not being blocked by the firewall.

3. Once the device has been located, select it from the list and double-click on it to open the login

page in your web browser. By default, the user name and password is

admin. For security

reasons, we strongly recommend changing the password after the first login.
