Introduction

NAS is short for “Network attached Storage”, which is used to name a specialized device

that offers mass storage towards a data network. SOHO NAS like the ICY BOX IB-

NAS901 are small devices that simply share data from HDDs to an Ethernet. There are

many approaches; some are using custom shaped methods in offering the storage space

to the network participants. This approach needs special software to be installed on the

network clients and in most cases is limited to one particular operating system.

The ICY BOX IB-NAS901 has chosen to offer the HDD space in the way common

operating systems are expecting it. This means it uses the same principles (protocols) to

offer HDD-Storage as common file servers are doing it but with less noise, lower power

consumption and in a much simpler way. The main advantage is that, that special

software is unnecessary to access the storage provided.

SMB

The SMB server implemented in the ICY BOX IB-NAS901 offers storage in a way regular

Windows shares are doing it (commonly known as SMB or CIFS protocol). Even Operating

systems like MAC OS and Linux are capable of using this kind of network storage access.

FTP

The FTP protocol is one of the oldest ways for file transfer in the internet. It is fast and

could easily be used to access the HDD even via the internet. A huge set of different

software clients exists even for exotic operating systems using this simple but fast

protocol. Most internet access routers used in small offices and at home offer a

mechanism called port forwarding (virtual server, etc.) which could be easily used to

expose the ICY BOX IB-NAS901’s storage to the internet. The FTP protocol offers access

control based on user.

DHCP

If your network does not provide a DHCP server for auto configuring the IP settings of

the client, the IB-NAS901 has a built in DHCP server to be activated. This server then

distributes the IP-Addresses among the network participants.

More than a NAS

The ICY BOX IB-NAS901 is not only an easy to use network storage device. It is a truly

double functional HDD box. It offers a complete SB 2.0 HDD access chipset, offering

greater flexibility. sers have the option of using it as a NAS where a network connection

is available or connect it via the much faster SB 2.0 Interface in the same way they do

it with a conventional external hard drive. This dual-functional design provides a

maximum of flexibility to access the data on the ICY BOX anytime anywhere.

NAS Mode

In NAS mode, the IB-NAS901 is directly attached to an Ethernet switch. Each user on the

network can use the IB-NAS901 almost as if it were a local drive.

Connecting to your Network

Connect the power adapter to the back panel of the IB-NAS901 and plug the other end to

a wall outlet or power strip. Connect the network cable to the LAN port on the back of the

IB-NAS901 and the other end of the network cable to a port on your hub, switch or

router.

You can also access data in the IB-NAS901 connecting it directly using the

Ethernet cable with your computer. The IB-NAS901 will have a default IP of

169.254.0.1 when connected directly.

The Ethernet port on the IB-NAS901 is Auto-MDI/MDIX, which means you can

connect it using either a crossover or a direct network cable.

Setup IB-NAS901

Configuring the IB-NAS901 on Window

The IB-NAS901 features a web-based control interface to manage your settings. If you

are using an operating system other than Windows, please refer to next section labelled

“Other Operating Systems”.

Open your web browser and enter

http://Storage or http://Storage-

<XXXX> in the RL address field.

You can also enter the IP address of

the IB-NAS901.

Enter the default login information:

sername: admin

Password: admin

For security purposes, your login information

can be changed via the web control interface.

When two new IB-NAS901s are simultaneously connected to your network,

you need to distinguish between the two by typing “http:// Storage-<XXXX>”

with their unique MAC address. Please refer to the sticker on the rear panel

for the address and replace <XXXX> with the last four digits of the MAC

address.

For example if your IB-NAS901’s MAC Address is 00-14-3F-AA-01-68, you will

need to enter “http://Storage-0168” in the RL address bar.

Configuring the IB-NAS901 (Other Operating Sy tem )

When you are planning to perform administrative tasks from a different operating

system, you will need to input IP address of the IB-NAS901 in the browser RL address

bar.

If you do not know the IP address of the IB-NAS901, you will have to do this additional

procedure. You will need to connect the IB-NAS901 directly to your computer, input the

default IP address 169.254.0.1 in the browser RL address bar to access the web control

panel.
