You can change the device name of the Home Media Store in your network, and make the Home Media Store
member of your workgroup. By default, the device name of the Home Media Store is "CH3ENAS" and the
workgroup name is "Workgroup".
When these settings do not fit your network, or you want to assign a different name, you can change the following
fields:
Change the name of the Home Media Store in the field „Device Name‟.
Change the workgroup name of your network in the field „Group name‟.
When the settings are changed, click "Apply" to save the settings.
Note:
When you change the „Device Name‟, you need to reconnect to the Home Media Store by entering the
new device name in your browser, or use the Discovery Utility to find and reconnect to the Home Media
Store.
Note:
Make sure that the group name is equal to the workgroup name of your computers. If the workgroup is
different, you may not be able to access the data stored on the Home Media Store in your network.
By default, the Home Media Store is set to a „Dynamic IP (DHCP)‟ configuration. This means that the Home Media
Store will check if there is a DHCP server in your network which provides an IP address to the Home Media Store.
In most situations, a router is acting as DHCP server in your network.
A DHCP server is not always giving the same IP address to the same network device. If this happens with the Home
Media Store, it is possible that you cannot reach the Home Media Store anymore through your network.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to assign a static IP address to the Home Media Store, allowing you to
access the device everytime on the same IP address.
Change the IP configation in the „IP settings‟ section to "Static IP".
The Home Media Store will automatically copy the IP address received from the DHCP server to the fields in the „IP
settings‟ section.
You can keep most settings, since they fit in your network environment.
It is recommended to change the IP address, since the current IP address is assigned by the DHCP server, and can
be assigned by the DHCP server in the future.
Changing the IP address, for example change to: xxx.xxx.xxx.253 will prevent an IP conflict in the future.
Change the last 3 digits of the IP address to "253".
(Example: change 172.20.0.110 to 172.20.0.253).
When the settings are changed, click "Apply" to save the settings.
Note: Remember to write down the changed settings. They might be necessary to configure the Home Media Store
in the future.
When the settings are applied, your webbrowser will connect to the Home Media Store on the new IP address. The
login page of the Home Media Store will be shown on your screen.
Login to the Home Media Store configuration as described in chapter 4.2.
When you are logged in again, you can proceed to chapter 4.3.3 to set up the hard disk(s).
