The following are the core features of TNAS PC Search: You can access your TNAS device only after it has been found on the network. To search for your TNAS device, click the “Search” button (Note: You can only search when TNAS and your computer are on the same sub-network). Login: To log in to TNAS's advanced settings menu (TOS), select your TNAS and click “Login” (Note: Only users with administrator privileges can use TOS’s advanced features).
Newly purchased TNAS devices must be initialised prior to use. In the process of initialisation, TOS will be installed onto your TNAS. Please see the section on “Initialisation” for an operation guide to TOS installation. You can also update your TOS software at any time after completing initialisation. 3.3 TNAS Mobile App To access files via mobile devices (e.g., iOS or Android devices), please download the TNAS mobile app to your mobile device.
Step 1: Search for TNAS Devices Before initialising your device, you need to find your TNAS device on the network. To find your TNAS, open the TNAS PC desktop application on your computer and click “Search”. Step 2: Start Initialisation Select your TNAS from the search list and click “Login”. If your TNAS is not initialised, you will be redirected to the initialisation page. Please Click “Start” to initiate the initialisation process.
Step 4: Hard Drive Check-Up Your TNAS will assess the health status of the hard drive. If the health status is good, please click “Next”. If the test results indicate a risk, we recommend that you replace the abnormal hard drive. Step 5: Install TOS Follow the page prompts to install TOS. If your TNAS is connected to the Internet, we recommend that you choose the “Online Install” option. Otherwise, choose the “Manual Install” option.
Step 7: Administrator Settings Please set the administrator password and complete the administrator security mailbox (this is used for administrator authentication) (Note: It is extremely important that you take care when completing this step. If the administrator loses their password, completing the administrator security mailbox will allow them to reset their password). Afterwards, click “Send Code”, and the security mailbox will receive an email with a verification code.
As a final note, if you receive an error message stating that the number of hard drives you have picked does not match the RAID type you have selected, please reset your settings. 5. Getting Started This section provides a quick overview of your TNAS device’s core functions. 5.1 Save Files to TNAS To store files to TNAS, the most convenient and efficient way is to use the Samba file service (for Windows OS users) or the AFS file service (for Mac OS Users).
