HOSTNAME
The Hostname you specify is used to advertise the ioSafe R4 on your network. You can use the
hostname to address the ioSafe R4 in place of the IP address when accessing the ioSafe R4 from
Windows, or over OS X using SMB. This is also the name that will appear in the RAIDar scan list.
The default hostname is
nas-
followed by the last three bytes of your primary MAC address.
►
DEFAULT GATEWAY
The Default Gateway specifies the IP address of the system where your network traffic is routed to
if the destination is outside of your subnet. In most homes and smaller offices, this is the IP address
of the router connected to the cable modem or your DSL service.
If you had selected the DHCP option in the Ethernet tab, the Default Gateway field will be
automatically populated with the setting from your DHCP server. If you had selected the Static
option, you can manually specify the IP addresses of the default gateway server here.
►
DNS
The DNS box allows you to specify up to three Domain Name Service servers for host name
resolution. If you are unfamiliar with DNS, the service translates host names into IP addresses.
