The DSM-602H/604H is a true plug and play device.You do not need to configure the
deviceif you plan to useit inanetworkwith a DHCPswitch/router. Right out of thebox,
the DSM-602H/604H will be accessible to network computers with UPnP compatible
operatingsystems in a DHCP-enabled network.
However,if you wish to usethe advancedconfiguration featuresthatincludeassigning
folderand access rights; or ifyou wanttouse the DSM-602H/604H attached directlyto
one computer, and not in a DHCP network, you will need to configure it.
To use the DSM-602H/604H outside of a networkandlinked to only one computer, first
you must connect it to a DHCP-enabled network. Once the DHCP switch or router
assigns an IP address to the DSM-602H/604H, you can then enter the Web-based
configuration utility and change the IP address of the DSM-602H/604H to a static IP
addressthat is within therangeofyour computer’s IP address.Onceyouhave assigned
the static IP address, you can then disconnect the DSM-602H/604H from the network
and connect it directly to the Ethernet port on your computer. You can then use the
DSM-602H/604Hasanextraportable hard drive for your computer.
