HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WIRELESSLY WHILST CONNECTED TO AIRSTORE? When you first set up your AirStore and connect to it wirelessly you will find that you are unable to access the internet, receive email etc. Fortunately AirStore has connection bridging technology which allows you to still be able to connect to the internet whilst connect to AirStore. To achieve this we need to set AirStore to connect to the internet via your wireless router itself. For ipod Touch, iphone & ipad - From the Setting icon, choose WirelessCloud Setting and then Network Setting. - Click on wireless as seen in fig. 4 and switch Automatic Scan to ON - Select the wireless network that you wish to connect to for the purpose of internet connectivity - Enter the password to connect to the network - You will now connect to the network and be able to use the internet whilst connected to AirStore. For Android - Press the menu or option button of your Android device (this will be different between Android devices as is not a set button or screen press across all devices) and select Settings - Select WirelessCloud Settings and then select Internet Connection Settings - Select Scan to browse available wireless networks a s seen in fig. 5 - Select the wireless network that you wish to connect to for the purpose of internet connectivity - Enter the password to connect to the network - You will now connect to the network and be able to use the internet whilst connected to AirStore. For PC - Connect to AirStore via your browser at http://192.168.222.254 - Click on the Settings icon at the top right hand corner of the browser window - Select Network Connections to reveal a window as seen in fig. 6 - Select the wireless network that you wish to connect to for the purpose of internet connectivity - Enter the password to connect to the network - You will now connect to the network and be able to use the internet whilst connected to AirStore. fig. 4 fig. 5 fig. 6 12
HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE INTERNET USING AIRSTORE AS A WIRED TO WIRELESS BRIDGE? In the same way that a wireless connection is bridged, a wired connection can be bridged. In order for this to work the Airstore needs to be connected to a working internet source via an Ethernet cable attached to the AirStore using the mini 8 pin Ethernet adaptor. You firstly need to refer to to the way in which wireless bridged connections are created on page12. The connection is made in the same way but whereas in fig. 4, fig. 5 & fig. 6 Wireless is selected, Wired needs to be selected instead. Once a Wired connection is selected the device will connect to the wired network to which it is attached. RESETTING THE DEVICE - The device has a recessed hard reset button located adjacently to the power button (it appears as a small hole) - Whilst the device is powered on, press and hold the RESET button with the end of a paperclip or similar for 5 seconds - This will reset the device s settings to factory defaults, but it will not format the storage area on the disk; i.e. you will not lose your data. ADVANCED SETTINGS AirStore has some advanced functionality such as the ability to set passwords for its own wireless connection and also the ability to operate in SAMBA, FTP and DMS modes. These features whilst not documented within this guide, are easily accessible within the WirelessCloud application or the web interface of the device. 13
