2. Plug the attached RJ-45 cable and power adapter core
into the "LAN" and "DC IN" plugs.
3. Plug the other side of the RJ-45 cable into a network
connection such as a cable modem, router, or a hub.
This is how NS312 are able to be accessed by other
users off a remote area.
(This is very important for NS312, when booting up,
NS312 would automatically detect whether the
operation mode is NAS function or USB hard disk drive
external enclosure by identifying if there's any activity
from RJ-45 network side.)
4. Plug the other side of the power core into the power
plug.
5. Press the power switch at the front panel.
If NS312 is not connected to the internet, NS312 can be
used as an external HDD storage device without using the
network cable. Just plug USB cable, the B side to NS312,
connect the other side to your computer's USB
connection, that's all you need to do, no adjustment
necessary!
Notice: Format Your HDD using NS312 Disk Utility format software.
After we boot up NS312 and enter the administration page, NS312 would inform us that our
HDD needs to be formatted. (If we're not using a whole new HDD here, please go directly to
Control Panel Maintenance Disk Utility to use NS312 format tool.) To using NS312 as both
a NAS and USB 2.0 HDD external enclosure, we need to format our HDD here into FAT32 file
system format, please don't use your Windows based PC/laptop to format the HDD, for Windows
embedded format utility could only format a HDD partition no more than 32GB, it's quite
inconvenient if you're using a large volume HDD in NS312.
