Chapter 6: LAN Connection Types of the Freecom Network
Drive XS
6.1 Direct connection to a PC
Once the PC/Mac is setup as DHCP client as described in the chapter "Check TCP/IP
Settings on PC/Mac" the user has to configure SMB Server and/or the FTP Server to work
with the device via network connection.
We recommend using the USB connection when connecting the Freecom Network Drive
XS to a single PC as the USB connection offers faster data transfer rates and easier access
to the Freecom Network Drive XS.
6. Connection to an existing network
Make sure the DHCP Server of your router is enabled. For more information
on this topic, please refer to your router's manual.
1. Connect the Freecom Network Drive XS directly to a PC/Mac and open the web
configuration.
2. Open the "Status" page.
3. Disable the DHCP Server. Click on "Apply" to save your changes.
4. Open the "IP Config" page.
