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-

NAS902 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-NAS902 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-NAS902 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-NAS902’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-NAS902 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-NAS902 is not only an easy to use network storage device. It is a truly

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

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

is available or connect it via the much faster USB 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.

Connecting the IB-NAS902 to your Co puter

The IB-NAS902 is a multifunctional hard drive enclosure. In addition to being a network

storage device, you can also use it as a standalone external hard drive via the USB

interface.

USB Mode

In USB 2.0 High Speed mode, the IB-NAS902 is directly attached to a single computer

using the USB port.

e-SATA Mode

In e-SATA mode, the IB-NAS902 is directly attached to a single computer using the e-

SATA port.

Max OS X

Driver installation is not required for systems using Mac OS 10.1.2 or above. Simply

connect the IB-NAS902 using the included USB cable and access the data by clicking the

“Untitled” HDD icon located on your Desktop.

Windows XP & Windows ME

Driver installation is not required for Windows XP and Windows Me. Simply connect the

IB-NAS902 using the included USB cable and access the data via “My Computer”.

Windows 98

To utilize the USB connectivity, please install the USB driver from the attached driver CD.

Please ensure that you install the device driver before connecting the USB port. When

you complete the driver installation, reboot your computer, connect the IB-NAS902 to

your computer and access the data via “My Computer”

NAS Mode

In NAS mode, the IB-NAS902 is directly attached to an Ethernet switch. Each user on the

network can use the IB-NAS902 almost as if it were a local drive.

Connecting to your Network

Connect the power adapter to the back panel of the IB-NAS902 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-NAS902 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-NAS902 connecting it directly using the

Ethernet cable with your computer. The IB-NAS902 will have a default IP of

169.2 4.0.1 when connected directly.

The Ethernet port on the IB-NAS902 is Auto-MDI/MDIX, which means you can

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

Setup IB-NAS902

Configuring the IB-NAS902 on Windows

The IB-NAS902 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 URL address field.

You can also enter the IP address of

the IB-NAS902.

Enter the default login information:

Username: admin

Password: admin

For security purposes, your login information

can be changed via the web control interface.

When two new IB-NAS902s 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-NAS902’s MAC Address is 00-14-3F-AA-01-68, you will

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

Configuring the IB-NAS902 (other Operating Syste s)

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

system, you will need to input IP address of the IB-NAS902 in the browser URL address

bar.

If you do not know the IP address of the IB-NAS902, you will have to do this additional

procedure. You will need to connect the IB-NAS902 directly to your computer, input the

default IP address 169.2 4.0.1 in the browser URL address bar to access the web control

panel.

Web based Setup

After a successful login, you will see the following screen.

An overview description of the functions on the left menu bar:

Menu Ite Description

Status Shows the data related to your IB-NAS902, such as

networking status and hard drive information. You may

also edit administration and file language settings here.

IP Config Allows you to manually configure the IP address of the

IB-NAS902

Maintenance Perform firmware upgrade, reboot or reset the IB-

NAS902

SMB Server Configure the Samba feature of IB-NAS902 for the

home/office network file sharing capabilities. You can also

create/remove folders and their share permissions.

FTP Server Configure the FTP features of the IB-NAS902. You may

add/remove users and their permissions.

XBOX360 Media For sharing photos and music to XBOX360 through UPnP

protocol.

Disk Utility Perform hard drive maintenance routines such as

Scandisk and Format.

Status – Syste Infor ation

The welcome screen displays the IP

address, firmware version and the

hard drive information such as the

hard drive type and storage space

available.

The administrator may change the web

control panel login information in here.

You may also change the default hostname of your IB-NAS902 here. Keep in mind that

after you change the hostname, you will need to use it to access your IB-NAS902. For

example, if you changed your hostname to “FileServer”, please type “http://FileServer” to

access the Web Control Panel after you submitted your changes.

The Language setting is used to recognize files with characters other than English. If you

have trouble reading your files on the IB-NAS902, please select the appropriate

language.

When you reset the IB-NAS902, either by the hardware switch or through the

web control panel, all the settings will return to the default setting including

the hostname. The default hostname will remain as Storage-<XXXX> (where

<XXXX> is the last four digits of the MAC address).

IP Configuration

The administrator may use this

option to manually define the IP

address of the IB-NAS902. If the

hub/router/switch in your network

has a DHCP server, then the IB-

NAS902 will automatically be

assigned an IP address.

The IB-NAS902 can also act as a DHCP server when one is not present in your

network. The default IP of the IB-NAS902 in DHCP server mode is

“169.2 4.0.1” and any device that is linked to the network containing will be

assigned an IP of “169.2 4.0.x” automatically.
