1. TCP/IP Settings

In the following examples we will show you how to access and change the TCP/IP settings on the ASUSTOR NAS. In order to access TCP/IP settings select [Settings] [Network] [Network Interface] and then select either the [LAN 1], [LAN 2] or [LAN n] depending on your connection, click on the [Configure] button.

1.1 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically

STEP 1

• Obtain IP address automatically: The option is selected by default. Your NAS will use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS server. It is recommended that you use this option if you are not certain on how to manually set up your IP address.

1.3 Test if your NAS is Connected to the Internet

You can use either Dr. ASUSTOR or App Central to test your NAS for internet connectivity.

STEP 1

• The Dr. ASUSTOR can be found under [System Information]. If you do not see any errors under the [Network] heading, then your NAS should be successfully connected to the internet.

STEP 2

• If you are able to access and use App Central, then your NAS should be successfully connected to the internet.
