3. Web Configuration The NUS1000 has a built-in web interface for easy setup and configuration. 1. In PC, use web browser such as IE, Firefox, Chrome or Safari, type in http://NUS1000:1010, where “NUS1000” is the factory default name. The name given to the NUS1000 can be changed from the setup menu. If the name is changed, please use the new name to access it. 2. If your computer’s UPnP is enabled you can search your Network Neighborhood for the NUS1000.
6. After entering the login information, the web interface for the NUS1000 will be displayed. 7. Configuring the settings of the NUS1000 can be done from the Tools menu. Select Storage Tools to view and format any connected USB devices. 8. A partition information table will be displayed 9. Format the partition the drives to FAT32 or EXT2 for read-write access or NTFS for read only access. If a partition has been formatted in a format other than FAT32, EXT2 or NTFS, it will be shown as “UNDEF”. 10.
. Alternatively, you can access the Web Admin through your iPhone or iPad. Just start the Safari browser and type http://nus1000.local:1010, then entering the “admin” user and password. 12. To get remote disk access, you need to register your account on www.ciragolink.com with a valid email.
4. Detailed Functions The Admin page has the left menu showing the selection. Clicking that row or the triangle in front of the menu item, the list will expand to have display the sub-menu. 4.1. Status Select STATUS from menu on the left. Information This page displays the general information of the hardware setup and the specific server information as shown below. Network This page displays network information, including gateway and DNS information.
Device This page displays the USB devices that are connected to the NUS1000. Service This page shows the services that are currently enabled or disabled. 4.2. Setup Select SETUP from the menu on the left to configure the settings of the NUS1000 and shows the submenu. Server This page shows the name of the NUS1000 so that you can access the unit in the Windows network by its name instead of using the IP address that may be changed if you are using DHCP (IP address distribution).
Network This page allows users to configure the network connection. The default is DHCP that requires a DHCP server to assign an IP to the device. Usually, your router is also the DHCP server that is responsible to allocate the IP address to attached network devices such as your PC or devices like the NUS1000. There is an option to define a fixed IP address. This is recommended for experienced users. Two default DNS servers are provided but should be changed to the DNS servers that your ISP recommends.
Password The default administrator password is “000000”. Changing this to an alphanumeric password is recommended. This is most important to change that password and create the users list especially when you enable your NUS to connect to the CiragoLink Service Users Add new users using this feature. Enter in a User Name and Password and click “Save” to continue. On the user list, click “edit” icon to modify the password or click “delete” icon to remove the user account from the list.
4.3. File Server The NUS1000 is able to share connected USB storage devices as a File server for other network users. The file server can be access by SMB (Samba) or WebDAV protocol. SMB is commonly used in PC environment, while WebDAV is used in Apple environment including the Mac, iPhone or iPad The File Server supports multiple users and you are able to assign different home paths for each user. The “admin” is the default user which has the access rights to the root path “/”, i.e. to all disk partitions.
Samba Access You can access the File Server from your computer in 2 ways: i. Enter Network Neighborhood and double click the NUS1000 icon ii. Click “Start” > “Run” > Open “\\nus1000” or “\\” WebDAV Access WebDAV is based on the Http protocol. It requires special client to support the access but cannot be used by a general browser such as IE, Firefox or Safari to achieve this. For example, Mac has the built-in client supporting WebDAV access.
4.4. iTunes Server This page allows you to setup a specific path that stores your music library that can be viewed and played by your iTunes program on your computer. By default, a directory path including all USB drives is selected. However it is recommended you setup the specific path to where you are storing your music files as this will improve the scanning time. If the iTunes Server is running, the button on the left will show Rescan, otherwise it will show APPLY.
4.6. BitTorrent Client This page is used to configure the unit to use BitTorrent technology to download files from the Internet. After a file is downloaded, it can be transferred to a computer either by network file sharing or connecting the USB storage device to your computer. The seed will undergo different stage until the data is downloaded. Settings Select Enable for BT Download and then select the path for the download file. Click “Apply” to save your settings.
After the content has been downloaded, the device will automatically move the content to the subdirectory “Finished” under the Download Directory and the torrent will automatically be removed. The finished downloaded list can be seen under the “Completed” page under BitTorrent submenu. You can manually clear the list or when you select a new Download directory, the list will reset. Completed The completed download torrents will list here as shown. 4.7.
Unplug This allows users to safely unplug a connected USB device. Unlike the physical Unplug / Resume button located on the front panel, the Unplug feature in the web interface can select which USB device to unplug. We recommend using the web interface to unplug any USB devices. This will prevent loss of any data or processes that are in progress on storage devices that are still connected to the NUS1000.
Configure Tools Click on the SAVE button to backup your NUS1000 settings. You can use this saved file to restore your configuration at a later time. The configuration can also be reset to the factory default setting by clicking the Reset button. Firmware This tool allows you to upgrade the firmware of the NUS1000. Click on Browse to select the firmware file to upload, and then click on Upgrade. The system will prompt you to confirm the upgrade.
5. Administration with iOS devices The NUS1000 can also be managed via iPhone or iPad. In iPhone, open Safari and type: http://nus1000.local:1010 The management flow is similar to that of the Web UI, except some functions are not applicable with iPhone, such as BitTorrent. Other options such as the configuration save or restore and the image upgrade are recommended to be handled through a computer. 1. Status Pressing Status will go one level down 2.
The screenshots show the add user and CiragoLink control, you can disconnect with the CiragoLink through a touch or associate the box with different user account in Ciragolink.com 3. Server File sharing, assign a different folder path for different users, the default user “admin” has the “/” root path that can access all drives attached. iTunes and media Store setup page allow you to enter the folder path for those iTunes music or media directory. Once set, you player can access them.
4. Tools This section is different with the Web UI. It will only allow you to unplug the USB drive and show details of the storage item selected. The configuration and firmware upgrade settings are omitted. 5. Shutdown Select either to shutdown (when you want to power-off the unit) or reboot the unit.
