Kanguru Solutions iNAS-100 - Manual (Page 27)

The server is based on the language settings and uses it accordingly while
creating or displaying files and directories. Select the correct language settings
to avoid the following problems:
1. Inability to create files or directories with special characters.
2. Inability to display files or directories name with special characters.
Network Settings
The network settings include the TCP/IP configuration for WAN and LAN, network
service settings, router and firewall configuration, etc.
• WAN Configuration
According to your WAN connection, you can choose the following four methods
to configure the TCP/IP settings to the external network:
1. Use PPPoE Protocol
PPPoE is commonly used in DSL-based broadband services to establish the
Internet connection. Please check with your ISP to check if PPPoE is used.
You will also need the user name and password information that is supplied
by your ISP to properly configure the PPPoE settings.
2. Use PPTP Protocol
If the Kanguru iNAS 100 is connected to a remote PPTP server through the
WAN port, you need to use the PPTP protocol.
3. Use DHCP Protocol
The DHCP protocol is usually used in a Cable modem environment or the
intranet. The system will obtain the IP address settings automatically via
DHCP.
4. Use Static IP Address
The fixed IP address is usually used in some DSL broadband services or
intranet, and an IP address must be entered manually in configuring the
network. You will need to enter the following information:
IP Address
The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a
network. The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated by
dots. (e.g. 61.218.1.5)
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It
is a 32-bit digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred to as an interchange point that connects two
networks. If you don’t know the gateway’s IP address, please ask your ISP or
network administrator.
