Network Address Configuration IP Addressing Select the method the Home Media Drive will use to obtain an IP address. Automatic (DHCP) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The Home Media Drive will obtain its IP settings from the DHCP server on the local network. By default, the Home Media Drive is configured to use DHCP. Manual If your network does not have a DHCP server, you must set a static IP address for your Home Media Drive to function properly. The following settings apply to Manual only: IP Address Enter an IP address for your Home Media Drive. The IP address of each device in the local area network must be within the same IP address range and subnet mask. For a small subnet with less than 253 IP addresses assigned (e.g. Class C private IP), each device in the LAN (Local Area Network) needs to have a unique IP Address in the format of x.x to connect to other devices within the same network. Subnet Mask Specify the subnet mask for the Home Media Drive. The Subnet mask must be the same for all devices on the same subnet of the network. The default subnet setting is Keep this default setting if your LAN has an IP address range in the format of x.x. DNS Server 1 Domain Name System. DNS translates IP addresses into more easily understandable names such as MyComputer.MyCompany.com. Enter the IP address of one or more DNS servers. This setting is usually provided by your Internet Service Provider. DNS Server 2 Enter an alternate DNS server. This setting is usually provided by your Internet Service Provider. (Optional) Gateway If your network has a router or gateway, enter its address here. Domain Internet Search Domain. Enter the internet search domain for your ISP account. This is usually in the form of mycompany.com. Workgroup Name

22 Page 22 of 75 Name Enter the name of the workgroup you wish to join. If the workgroup you entered does not exist, it will be created once you apply your changes. By default the Home Media Drive is configured to join a workgroup named WORKGROUP. A properly configured workgroup name has the following characteristics: Must be a unique name. The workgroup name cannot match the computer name of any other network device. Must NOT exceed 15 characters. Cannot include, spaces or special characters (such as " / \ [ ] : ; & =, + *? < >).

Once the software is installed you will instantly be connected to all of the shared folders to which you have access. By default the Home Media Drive shared folders are unsecured. If your Home Media Drive has secure shared folders, the administrator will need to log in to the Home Storage Manager tool and configure the shared folders to recognize new users. New users are automatically added to the Home Media Drive every time Home Storage Manager is installed or used for the first time. The automatically added username will match the username of the computer account login. If you wish to manually connect to a shared folder without using the Home Storage Manager software, follow the instructions below. Manual Connection: 1. Open a Windows Explorer window. 2. Enter \\<device IP address>, then click Go. 3. Enter a user name and password (required only if you have secure shared folders), then click OK. The default shares do not require a user name or password. 4. Double click the shared folder you wish to use. You can connect to the Home Media Drive by browsing My Network Places or by manually entering the machine name or IP address (proceeded by two backslashes), e.g., \\Storage or \\ The default machine name of the Home Media Drive is Storage.

The Home Media Drive shares files using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol and stores its files on XFS (built-in), FAT32 (external), and NTFS (external) hard drives. You will need to use characters supported by these filesystems to successfully share your files. Any filename supported by a Windows PC should work with most platforms. Invalid filenames: Any filename containing the characters: " / \ < >? : * Any filename that contains extended characters such as Á, À, Ã, Ä, etc. (characters typed with the the Ctrl key on the Mac). Any filename that ends with a space or period. Any filename that begins with a period. some filenames such as comx, lptx, con, nul, prn, etc. maybe reserved for use by the operating system of your client computer (where X represents a number). Although filenames may be up to 256 characters long, the file path is limited to 260 characters in some operating systems. For best results, use short filenames. Failure to comply with naming guidelines may result in the following error messages: File name too long Cannot copy file Cannot read from source file or disk Error message -43 Additional Reading: Apple Article ID See the General Guidelines for Supporting Long Filenames section of Microsoft Technical Article

Users are only required when you have at least one shared folder set to Secure. The Iomega Home Storage Manager will automatically add a user (based on your computer account login) when it is installed. If you log into the same computer using a different account, Home Storage Manager will create a new user based on the computer account login. In some cases you may want to manually add users (for instance, if you want to connect to a secured share without installing the Home Storage Manager software). To manually add users: 1. Click on the Iomega Home Storage Manager icon in the System Tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac), then select your drive from the Configure submenu. 2.
