.
Server
This page shows the name of the NUS1000 so that you can access the unit in the
Windows network by its name instead of using the IP address that may be
changed if you are using DHCP (IP address distribution). The default name is
“NUS1000”. If there are multiple units attached to the same network, we
recommend that you assign a different name to each unit so as to avoid confusion.
In order to be recognized by its name in the Windows network, the NUS1000 and
PC must have the same workgroup name.

11
Network
This page allows users to configure the network connection. The default is DHCP
that requires a DHCP server to assign an IP to the device. Usually, your router is
also the DHCP server that is responsible to allocate the IP address to attached
network devices such as your PC or devices like the NUS1000.
There is an option to define a fixed IP address. This is recommended for
experienced users. Two default DNS servers are provided but should be changed
to the DNS servers that your ISP recommends.
Time Zone
The NUS1000 uses the network time server to synchronize its clock. Select time
zone and daylight savings options and hit Apply to save settings.
NOTE : You can choose from the two NTP servers provided or you can enter
your specific NTP server name
NOTE : Reboot the device to permanently activate any changes made.

password is recommended. This is most important to change that password and
create the users list especially when you enable your NUS to connect to the
CiragoLink Service
Users

4.3. File Server
The NUS1000 is able to share connected USB storage devices as a File server for
other network users. The file server can be access by SMB (Samba) or WebDAV
protocol.
SMB is commonly used in PC environment, while WebDAV is used in Apple
environment including the Mac, iPhone or iPad
The File Server support multi-users and able to assign different home path for each
users. “admin” is default user which has the access right to the root path “/”, ie to
all disk partitions. Starting from version 2.2, the management of Samba and
WebDAV are unified.
Click “Add” to add existing user from user list and edit the corresponding path to
have the access of the File Server
Each user allow to have the right to access
single path, but it can be the “/” root path, the
partitions “\usb1-disk1” or a folder.

14
Samba Access
You can access the File Server from your computer in 2 ways:
i. Enter Network Neighborhood
ii. Click “Start” > “Run” > Open “\\nus1000” or “\\<ip address>”
WebDAV Access
WebDAV is based on the Http protocol. It requires special client to support the
access but cannot use the general browser such as IE, Firefox or Safari to achieve
this.
For example, Mac has the built-in client supporting WebDAV access. This is similar
to access a website by typing the URL address such as http://<ip address>
In Apple environment, you can make use of the bonjour to name the server on the
LAN. You simply type
http://nus1000.local:9880
to connect to the NUS1000 WebDAV file server, you then enter the username and
password according to the request. While the “.local” is the bonjour convention for
the name of NUS1000 and the “:9880” is the tcp port number used for WebDAV.
Chapter 7 has more detail information on the setup and usage of the WebDAV client
on local LAN and remote access to the NUS storage.

4.4. iTunes Server
This page allows you to setup a specific path that stores your music library that can
be viewed and played by your iTunes program on your computer. By default, a
directory path including all USB drives is selected. However it is recommended you
setup the specific path to where you are storing your music files as this will improve
the scanning time.
If the iTunes Server is running, the button on the left will show
Rescan, otherwise it will show APPLY.
Open iTunes on your PC or Mac and the NUS1000 will be
displayed under the SHARED tab. The music from storage
devices attached to the NUS1000 will be displayed.
4.5. Media Server
This page allows you to setup the path for the content directories for the Media
Server. The Media Server services will scan the disk for the specific file types and
associate to the category of Video, Music and Photo. Based on UPnP media
streaming protocol, the Media Server can be found by other Digital Media Players on
your local network.
By default, a directory path including all USB drives is selected. However, we
recommend using the 3 directory paths to group the content in order to improve the
performance of the NUS1000 while scanning media files.

4.6. BitTorrent Client
This page is used to configure the unit to use BitTorrent
technology to download files from the Internet. After a
file is downloaded, it can be transferred to a computer
either by network file sharing or connecting the USB
storage device to your computer. The seed will
undergo different stage until the data is downloaded.
