BlackArmor NAS Network Storage Server

[Trust001]

Hey guys,

So I wrote down my login and password but I seemed to have lost the paper I wrote it on. There is nothing currently on the drive itself and don't mind reformatting if that is an option. 

Is there anything I can do?

Hello,

I assume that you are referring to NAS's Manager page login.

The reset button is on the bottom of the 110.  This will reset the Manager Page login in back to 

admin and admin.

Follow these steps to reset the BlackArmor server's name, DHCP setting (network mode) and log in password.

Note: You will need a paperclip or other narrow device to perform this task.

1. Carefully access the bottom of the server.

2. Ensure that the server is powered on and connected to the    LAN.

3. On the bottom of the server, find a single small opening.    The reset button is inside the opening.

4. Insert the end of the paperclip into the opening, then press and hold the reset button. Do

not release the button yet.

5. Hold the reset button until the disk drive LED on the front of the server lights up, then

turns amber (yellow). This takes several seconds.

6. Release the reset button. The server reboots itself.

Once the server has rebooted and is ready the Manager page login should be back to default.  

admin and admin.

Ok I got in!

This interface is kind of confusing though, how am i able to store things onto the device?

Hello,

You can use the Discovery Software to mount and or map a letter to your share folder.

Another way is on your PC go to Start and Run and type in \\nas ip address and <enter>.

This will bring up the root of the NAS.  If it prompts for a password put in your user name and password.

You can right click the Public folder or your private folder, and choose Map Network Drive or just double click the folder and start copying and pasting.

Thanks for getting back to me! 

can you prompt me on an alternative method for Macs? or is it similar to the PC method

Hello,

Discovery software is available for MAC OS.

One way to get to a share on the NAS with MAC is to click Go at the top and choose Connect to Server.

For the Server Address type in cifs://nas ip address

Click + sign

Click Connect

If you choose Connect as Guest then click OK and you can open the Public share.

If you choose Connect as Registered User put in the Name and Password for your Private share. Click ok.

Open the Private share.

To see a mounted share icon on the MAC Desktop go Finder, top left and click Preferences. Check mark Connected Servers. Now there will be an icon on your MAC desktop that you can open and start copying and pasting etc.

Important Information:  There has been an ongoing issue with Snow Leopard and its 10.6.3 update. It kept everyone from writing to their shares on any Linux box or Linux based NAS.  I understand the 10.6.4 was just released. If you are running 10.6.3 update quickly to 10.6.4 so you can write to your NAS shares.
