Hardware Overview

Disconnect Button

The Disconnect button is located on the back panel of the DNS-120. This button will

safely disconnect all attached USB drives on the DNS-120.

To safely remove a USB drive from the DNS-120, press the Disconnect button on the

back panel until the USB LED blinks red. After the USB LED turns off, it is safe to

remove all USB drives from the DNS-120.

Note: If a USB drive remains attached to the DNS-120 after being disconnected, it will

no longer be accessible. That USB drive must be reconnected in order to be available

for access again.

To ensure that risk of data loss is minimized, it is important to make sure that no

users are currently accessing files on the DNS-120 while disconnecting USB drives is

in progress.

Reset Button

To reset the DNS-120 to factory default settings, press the reset button for 5 seconds

and release. The Ethernet LED will turn off momentarily, and then light green.

Wait approximately 30 seconds for the DNS-120 to complete the reset cycle before you

begin using it again.

Using Easy Search

At any time, you can easily access and manage the DNS-120 with the convenient

utility, Easy Search (provided on the Installation CD-ROM). Easy Search is a tool that

allows you to easily find DNS-120 units for configuration and add USB drive content to

the network for user access.

To use Easy Search:

1. Insert the Installation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive to initiate the

Autorunprogram.

2. Click the Easy Search item to launch the utility. The control panel will appear as

shown on the following page.

This is used to bring up the Web configuration utility of the DNS-120. To access the

Web configuration utility, click on the desired DNS-120 unit in the Server List and then

DHCP Client

The DNS-120 takes advantage of DHCP server presence on the network to

automatically configure the LAN settings.

Enabled – The DNS-120 will request an IP address from the available DHCP

server and configure the LAN settings automatically. The IP, Netmask, and

Gateway options will be disabled.

Disabled – The IP, Netmask, and Gateway fields will be enabled for the user

to enter in the LAN settings manually.

Apply – Click this button to put the changes to LAN settings into effect.

of the available shared folders may be mapped as a network drive letter to the local PC

or to disconnect an existing mapped drive.
