IP Settings

Each computer on the network must have a unique IP
address to send and receive data. You can use the

IP

Address Configuration

screen to have your

DataSafe NAS automatically obtain the IP address
configuration from the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. You can also configure the
address(es) manually.
In addition, you can use the

IP Address

Configuration

screen to specify one or more

gateway addresses. (A gateway address is the
address of a local IP router on the same network as
the DataSafe NAS that is used to forward traffic to
destinations beyond the local network.) The value in
each field must be a number from 0 through 255.

Note:

Changing the IP address may cause the client
to lose its connection with the DataSafe NAS.
To reconnect, the user must either use the new
IP address or wait until the DNS server is
updated.
