HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WIRELESSLY WHILST CONNECTED TO AIRSTORE ?
When you first set up your AirStore and connect to it wirelessly you will find that you are unable to access the
internet, receive email etc. Fortunately AirStore has connection bridging technology which allows you to still be able
to connect to the internet whilst connect to AirStore. To achieve this we need to set AirStore to connect to the
internet via your wireless router itself.
For iPod Touch, iPhone & iPad
-From the “Setting” icon, choose “WirelessCloud Setting” and then “Network Setting”.
-Click on wireless as seen in fig. 4 and switch “Automatic Scan” to “ON”

not a set button or screen press across all devices) and select “Settings”
-Select “WirelessCloud Settings” and then select “Internet Connection Settings”
-Select “Scan” to browse available wireless networks a s seen in fig. 5
-Select the wireless network that you wish to connect to for the purpose of internet connectivity
-Enter the password to connect to the network
-You will now connect to the network and be able to use the internet whilst connected to AirStore.
For PC
-Connect to AirStore via your browser at http://192.168.222.254
-Click on the “Settings” icon at the top right hand corner of the browser window

HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE INTERNET USING AIRSTORE AS A WIRED TO WIRELESS
BRIDGE ?
In the same way that a wireless connection is bridged, a wired connection can be bridged. In order for this to work
the Airstore needs to be connected to a working internet source via an Ethernet cable attached to the AirStore using
the mini 8 pin Ethernet adaptor.
You firstly need to refer to to the way in which wireless bridged connections are created on page12. The connection
is made in the same way but whereas in fig. 4, fig. 5 & fig. 6 “Wireless” is selected, “Wired” needs to be selected
instead.
Once a “Wired” connection is selected the device will connect to the wired network to which it is attached.
RESETTING THE DEVICE
-The device has a recessed hard reset button located adjacently to the power button (it appears as a small
hole)
-Whilst the device is powered on, press and hold the RESET button with the end of a paperclip or similar for 5
seconds
-This will reset the device’s settings to factory defaults, but it will not format the storage area on the disk; i.e.
you will not lose your data.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
AirStore has some advanced functionality such as the ability to set passwords for its own wireless connection and
also the ability to operate in SAMBA, FTP and DMS modes. These features whilst not documented within this guide,
are easily accessible within the WirelessCloud application or the web interface of the device.
