Your BlackArmor NAS 110 Server’s Default Settings
Your BlackArmor NAS 110 server is preconfigured with settings that are appropriate for
typical use, so that you can get started storing, sharing, and protecting your files right away:
• User accounts—The BlackArmor NAS 110 server includes one preconfigured user
account for the administrator, which can be modified with a custom password during the
initial setup (see page 20). You can also add as many new user accounts as you need
using BlackArmor Manager (see page 36).
• Shares—The BlackArmor NAS 110 server includes two preconfigured shares: Download
and Public. You can modify the features of each share to suit your needs, or add new
public or private shares using BlackArmor Manager (see page 33).
• Network settings—The server is also preconfigured with DHCP as its network mode.
DHCP is recommended. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and is
basically a method of assigning IP addresses automatically to all the systems on a
network. (Static mode requires that all IP addresses be assigned and changed manually.)
Unless you are part of a large corporation with an IT department, Seagate highly
recommends using the DHCP network mode.
• Administrator password—The server’s default login information is:
user name: admin
password: admin
You are prompted to change the administrator password during the initial server setup. If
you didn’t, or want to change it again, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). You can
change the administrator password by selecting Admin Password from the System
menu. For step-by-step instructions for updating the password, refer to the BlackArmor
Manager online Help.
You may need to use the default user name and password again in the future, if the server
is ever reset to its initial configuration.
• Global Access setting—The BlackArmor NAS 110 server is not preconfigured to be
accessed over the Web. Enable Seagate Global Access if you want to be able to access
the files on your BlackArmor NAS 110 server from anywhere in the world, or share your
files with anyone outside of your network, like business clients or friends (see page 23).
• Downloader settings—The BlackArmor NAS 110 server is preconfigured to allow large
Web file downloads at any time, using the BlackArmor Manager Downloader tool. You
can limit the size and number of simultaneous Web downloads and limit Web downloads
to specific days and times using BlackArmor Manager (see page 35).
• Media Server settings—The BlackArmor NAS 110 server is not preconfigured as a
media server. You can use BlackArmor Manager to turn the server into a media server for
sharing of digital photos, videos and music with people on your local network, as well as
