Infranet ReadyNas Setup Guide

If  Your NAS is Unused Start From Step 2.

Step 1

Reseting the NAS

So Basically If its an used NAS like mine we will have to perform a factory reset.

To do this 

Press the reset Button Behind the NAS. 

In the display of your NAS you will see options to backup, factory reset, software upgrade, etc.

Set it at Factory Reset and release the reset button.

This is what worked for me it may defer upon different models and so on. 

Step 2

Connect the Lan cable from your router (mine is the netgear R6120 booted with openwrt) to the NAS. 

Head to your router homepage. Its usually 192.168.1.1. If you want to find it you can run ipconfig in the command prompt application after connecting your laptop to the wifi/ethernet.

In your router you can find out the ip address of the NAS and with this you can reach the homepage of the NAS.

Since the manufacture of my NAS was Infrant tech and their webpage and applications are obsolete now. I had a difficult time in figuring out why i wasnt able to acces the homepage.

Basically the issue was this particular model used a slug behind its address. 

NAS-IP/admin

(192.168.69.133/admin) in my case when my router was 192.168.69.1.

Step 3

To login

username - admin

password - infranet1 / netgear1 (depends upon your manufacturer)  

Step 4

Name the shares split them if you want more volumes.

If you want raid you can set it up using the setup wizard.

Other Stuff

- I applied a static ip for my NAS from my router. This means that the ip of the NAS wont change. ( You can do that if you please)

- Name the Shares to your prefered name the default being backup and media.

- You can add printers to this so the printers can be accessed by the whole network and also setup USB drives.

- Adding more or Changing hard disk is also pretty self explanatory. 

Overall NAS helps to share files in the LAN network and especially between two or more different operating systems which is great.
