Installation
Follow the NAS device manufacturer’s setup and configuration instructions shipped with the device. In
general, the procedure will be as follows:
1. Plug one end of a Category 5 cable into the NAS server, and the other end into your network hub or
switch.
2. Plug the AC power cord into the NAS server, then plug into any source of AC power (a surge
protector is recommended).
3. Turn on the NAS server. Basic installation for IPX, NetBEUI and AppleTalk (access through
Chooser) is complete with the hardware install that usually takes only a few minutes. When you
double click on Network Neighborhood in Windows or Chooser in Mac OS, you will see the NAS
server. You can now save files to the NAS server just as you would to your own hard drive or a
floppy disk.
4. For use with DigiCart/E recorders, make sure the NFS protocol is enabled. Create a few directories to
be shared for audio projects and ensure they have read and write permissions enabled. Do not
duplicate names that are used for shares on any other server or NAS device.
On the DigiCart/E, when more than one NFS server is on line you will see an additional choice for Server IP
in the Mount Network Drive dialog. Select the IP address of the server you wish to use. Note that this setting
applies to all net drives on a particular DigiCart, so net drives on the main server will not be available when
the NAS server is selected, and vice versa. Any Net Drives already assigned to the other server will be
logged off.
