Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the EtherFast Network Attached Storage (120GB with PrintServer) from Linksys. Now you
can quickly and easily add 120 gigabytes of storage space onto your network.
This stand-alone network appliance features two hard drive bays—one with a 120GB drive in it, and the other
available so you can add an additional up to 120GB IDE hard drive as your storage needs grow.
Installation of the Network Attached Storage is simple—just plug it directly into your 10/100 network, and it's
instantly available. Or connect it to a Gigabit network! It can serve as your network's DHCP server, and also has a
built-in print server so you can add a network printer without burdening a PC with spooling chores.
The Network Attached Storage features built-in disk utilities, accessible through your web browser. You can run a
self-test, and scan or defrag the disk(s). If you've installed a second disk drive, you can back up one drive to the
other, either manually or on a schedule. Additional quick-connect hard drive trays are available, so you can
quickly swap multiple backup drives to create rotating backups.
For even more flexibility and utility, the Network Attached Storage can be set up to be accessible directly from the
Internet—uploading and downloading files either via a web browser or by FTP. Files can be available publicly, or
create password-protected accounts for your authorized users.
The Network Attached Storage is a fast, powerful, flexible and economical addition to your network. Use the
instructions in this User Guide to help you connect the Network Attached Storage, set it up, and configure it for
easy use. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the EtherFast Network Attached

The Beeper Codes
The Network Attached Storage has an internal beeper that beeps to indicate certain events.
1 Beep

This signals that the Reset button or power button has been pressed.

2 Beeps

When this is repeated every five seconds for one minute, it signals that the Network Attached
Storage is configured as a DHCP client, but no DHCP server has responded to the DHCP client’s
request for an IP address.

3 Beeps

When this is repeated every 15 seconds for three minutes, it signals that the Network Attached
Storage’s hard drive usage exceeds 98% of total capacity.

5 Beeps

When this is repeated every 15 seconds for three minutes, it signals that the Network Attached
Storage is overheating. The Network Attached Storage will automatically shut down three
minutes after the first beep.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting
This appendix provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the Network
Attached Storage. Read the description below to solve your problems. If you can't find an answer here, check the
Linksys website at www.linksys.com.
1. The Network Attached Storage’s Utility cannot detect the Network Attached Storage.
Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:
• Check that the Network Attached Storage is properly installed, the LAN connections are secure, and the
Network Attached Storage is powered ON.
• If you are using a router, make sure that your PC and the Network Attached Storage are on the same
network segment.
• Make sure that your PC has the TCP/IP network protocol installed. (See “Appendix D: Windows Help” for
more information.)
2. The Network Attached Storage is configured, but I can’t find it in Network Neighborhood.
Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:
• Go to the Find function in the Start menu. Choose Computer, and then enter the Network Attached
Storage’s name. In Windows 2000, go to Files and Folders and use the “Search for a Computer” option.
• If this doesn’t work, choose the Network option of the Control Panel to check that the TCP/IP protocol is
installed. If it isn’t installed, use Add -> Protocol -> Microsoft -> TCP/IP to install it. In Windows 2000,
click Install, not Add. In Windows NT, click the Protocols tab, and then Add.
• Check the network bindings. First, make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is bound to your network adapter
or card (NIC). Then, select your network card in the Control Panel, click Properties, and choose the
Bindings tab. If TCP/IP is not bound (checked), check it.
• Make sure that the TCP/IP -> network card entry is bound to the Client for Microsoft Networks service.
Select the TCP/IP entry for your network adapter or card, click Properties, and then choose the Bindings
tab. If Client for Microsoft Networks is not bound (checked), check it.
• If you don’t have a router, make sure that your IP Address is compatible with the Network Attached
Storage’s IP Address. This means it needs to be in the same address range (e.g. 192.168.1.3 to
192.168.1.254) and using the same Subnet Mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0).
• If you do have a router, check that your Gateway IP Address is set correctly. Ask your LAN administrator for
the correct value.
• If you have changed the name of the Network Attached Storage, change the name back to the default
name.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

EtherFast Network Attached Storage (120GB with PrintServer)

3. When I click the Network Attached Storage’s icon in Network Neighborhood, I’m prompted for a
password.
This can happen in the following situations:
• Your Windows login name is recognized by the Network Attached Storage, but your login password is not.
Simply enter your password, or make your Windows password the same as the Network Attached
Storage’s password.
• Your Windows login name is not recognized by the Network Attached Storage, so by default you are given
guest access rights. If you are not the Network Administrator, ask your Administrator to create a user
name for you. (Use the same name as your login name.)
• You do not have access permission for this share. If you are not the Network Administrator, ask your
Administrator to grant you access.
4. When using the Web-based Utility of the Network Attached Storage, some of the data will not fit on
the screen, and there is no scroll bar.
You may be using extra-large fonts in your browser or in Windows. To change your browser’s font size, select
View from your browser’s menu, and change the font size there. To change the size of your Windows fonts,
click the Start button. Select Settings and click Control Panel. Double-click Display. Select Settings. Click
the Advanced button. Change the font size to either Small or Large (both should work). Click the OK button
to save your change.
5. A print job does not print and no error message is displayed.
The amount of free disk space on the Network Attached Storage is probably not sufficient to spool (queue) the
print job. The Network Attached Storage’s disk usage can be checked using the Status - Disk screen of the
Web-based Utility. If this is the problem, then you must delete some print jobs. Follow these instructions:
1. Select Printer from the Statue menu of the Web-based Utility.
2. Select Delete Current Job to delete the current print job, or select Delete All Jobs to delete all print jobs.
If your questions are not addressed here, refer to the Linksys website, www.linksys.com.

Appendix D: Windows Help
Almost all networking products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in the
world and comes with many features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed through
Windows Help and are described in this appendix.

TCP/IP
Before a computer can communicate within a network, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or
protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a network. This is true for wireless networks as well. Your PCs will
not be able to utilize wireless networking without having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete
instructions on enabling TCP/IP.

Shared Resources
If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your network, Windows Help provides complete instructions on
utilizing shared resources.

Network Neighborhood/My Network Places
Other PCs on your network will appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network Places (depending upon the
version of Windows you're running). Windows Help provides complete instructions on adding PCs to your
network.
