17
Step 1:
If you are unsure which option to choose, just keep it as [Auto].
If you choose Server/Auto/Static modes, you will need to set further TCP/IP settings.
Usually there is no need to change these settings, however if you encounter difficulty, please ask
your network administrator.

18
Step 2:
Here there are three ways to set the system time for your FNS-1020.
1. Sync with a Network Time Server
2. Use your computer’s time
3. Set the time manually.

19
Step 3:
There are two security levels.
Guest Mode: Anyone can access your storage.
If Guest Mode is chosen, the system will ask if you want to initialize your disk with only one partition.
If you are using a new hard disk, it is recommended you choose [Yes], as this option will format your
hard disk later. If you already have data on your hard disk, you may select [No]

20
Authorization Mode: Only authorized users can access data in the password-protected folders.
If authorization mode is chosen, it is necessary to reallocate and format your hard disk drive. Please
indicate your desired capacities for public and private directories.
When the capacity of one directory is assigned, the system will automatically assign the rest to the
other directory.
Note: The [Backup] button on the front panel will copy folders/files from USB devices to the
public directory once you activate authorization mode.
Or you can decide the level of security later if you cannot decide now.
Step 4
This is a summary of the settings you have chosen.
If you would like to start over without saving changes, click “Discard Settings.”
Otherwise, once all the information is confirmed, please click “Save” to continue.
Note: If the disk is initializing and formatting, please wait until the progress bar shows 100%.
Do not press any button or power off the device.
Once formatting is done, the system will reboot automatically. Please wait 30 seconds for the
system to restart.
