2. Make certain the switch located on the back
of the CM1 is set to “AP”.
3. Touch the power button to turn the unit on.
4. The front panel indicators will light up, with
the top two red and the bottom two green.
As the unit comes online you will notice the
top two indicators ashing, and occasionally
the bottom indicator as well. The CM1 is
ready to use when all the indicators are
green, with the LAN indicator ickering
occasionally.

Locate the CD that came with your CM1 and
insert the disc into the optical drive of your
Windows computer. Since the device is set up
and controlled via a web-browser interface, the
following instructions will also apply to the use
of a CMQ on an Apple MAC computer. A discus-
sion of how to locate the CM1 using a MAC is
included in the user’s manual.
5. Follow instructions on each screen and click
through: the License agreement, customer
information, setup, ready to install and nish
screens. Click on the “nish” button
6. Run the “CM1 Utility” by clicking on “Start”
and then click the “CM1 Utility” icon in the
start menu. The screen below appears.
Click on the “Search CM1” button in order to
locate your CM1 on your network. (gure-03)
NOTE: In order for the CM1 to be discover
able on your network, both the CM1 and
the computer you are running the CM1
Utility on must be on the same network.
The CM1 Utility will search the network for all
CM1’s connected to the local area network
(LAN) and display them in the small box on the
right. It should look something like this (gure-04).

gure-03 gure-04

Make sure the CM1 is highlighted, and then
click on the “Login” button. You will be prompt-
ed for the ID and Password (gure-05).
Leave the default ID of “admin” in place, and
type the factory set password of “admin”
(without the quotes) and then click on the
“Login” button.
The buttons on the bottom half of the CM1 Util-
ity page will then become active. Click on the
“Web Page” button.

gure-05
gure-06

gure-07

A warning message will appear telling you that any unsaved data will be lost, but since the disk is
blank, this message is just cautionary. Click on “OK”. The disk format page will be displayed with
messages concerning the progress of the format process.
When the formatting process is completed, you will be returned to the “Maintenance” page. Click
on the “Status” option on the left side, and you will see the “Status” page and the “Application Sta-
tus” should list all applications as “ON” (gure-08).
Your CM1 is now ready to accept les and be used as a wired network attached storage
device (NAS). Now that the CM1’s disk is prepared, you can move on to conguration of
the device as a networked attached storage unit.

gure-08

Use this mode if you want the main
network connection to be the wireless
interface. You will still need to leave the
CM1 plugged into your network using
an Ethernet cable for the setup phase of
the conguration.
1. Turn the CM1 off, change the “network se
lection switch” located on the back of the
CM1 to “Client Scan” (gure-09).
2. Extend the antenna at this time, and power
the unit back on at this time (gure-10).
You will need to run the CM1 Discovery utility
again to nd the CM1 on the network, and log
into the CM1 as previously explained. Click on
the “System Setting” icon (gure-11). The screen
showing the system status is displayed rst.
CM1 can be congured as a wireless networked drive:

gure-11

a. Click on the “Setting” option on the left side
(gure-11).
b. Click on the “Client Scan Mode” photo below
the wording. The screen in gure-12 will ap
pear.
c. You will see a list of wireless access points
listed under the “Step 1” section of the
screen. If your wireless router or access
point is not listed, just click the “Refresh” link
on the page to have the CM1 rescan the
wireless signals at your location (gure-13).
d. NOTE: Initially the signal strength will be
high as the CM1 will be sitting next to
the router. If after conguration of the
CM1 you decide to move it to a different
location, the wireless signal of the router
or AP will change, and if it is below 50
the performance of the CM1 may be poor
or unacceptable.
You may want to reposition the CM1, the
antenna on the CM1, your router, or both, to
see if you can get a better signal. If you
cannot get the numbers to be close to 100,
you may want to use the CM1 in a wired
conguration to ensure optimal perfor-
mance.

e. Click on the SSID of the wireless connection
you wish to use, and then click on “Apply” in
the “Step 2” section of the page. The SSID

allow the CM1 to join the wireless network
(gure-14).

f. Click “Apply” down at the bottom and you will
see a warning dialog appear (gure-15).
Once the setting is applied, the CM1 will re
boot. Once the WiFi light stops ashing red
and green, and turns all green, you can then
power down the CM1, remove the Ethernet
cable, and power it back up. You can now
relocate your CM1 to your desired location
and it will operate wirelessly as long
as there is a strong signal.
Three Folders have been created on the
CM1. These folders can be accessed us
ing the web interface. Select “Web Fold
er” (gure-16).
