Chapter 2 Configuring the NAS Device
2. Log on when Windows prompts for a network logon. If ESC (on the key-
board) or Cancel is clicked, no network resources will be available. When log-
ging on, a valid user name and password must be entered. If the administrator
has defined users on the
NAS Device, use the user name and password sup-
plied by him/her.
Using the NAS Server's Storage
To use the NAS Device’s storage capabilities, “map” a drive letter to each folder on
the Device that needs to be accessed. This creates a “network drive” on the com-
puter, which will then be available to all programs. To do this:
1. Double-click Network Neighborhood (or My Network Places).
2. On the “View” menu, select Details. The “Comment” column appears.
3. Locate the NAS Device, as shown below. If not listed, double-click Entire
Network. Then double-click the workgroup to which the Device belongs. (By
default, the Device’s workgroup is “Workgroup.”)
4. Double-click the “ NAS ” icon. A list of shares (shared folders) appears. Files can
be read from or written to these shares, unless the administrator has blocked
access.
5. To create a shortcut to a NAS folder, drag its icon to the desktop, and accept
Windows offer to create a shortcut.
Mapping a Network Drive
You can give a share (shared folder) on the NAS Device a drive letter on the com-
puter, such as “F:” This is called “mapping” the drive. To do this:
1. Right-click on the desired share on the Device.
